Well, yeah, but Douglas seems to be saying even if they had pick # 3, Darnold would likely still be a Jet. That says more about how Douglas feels about the QB prospects than how he feels about Darnold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get being value conscious and fiscally responsible with the Cap, but if you were willing to forego a little defense for just one year and sign a lesser guy than Carl Lawson, perhaps you could have overspent just a little to protect your future QB investment/gamble by signing Joe Thuney before heading into the Draft with blatant upgrade needs for at least 4 OLine spots. Sheesh! Put your money (literally) where your mouth is! You had the 29th ranked Offensive Line in the NFL last year. You had the second most Cap space this offseason. You signed Dan Feeney. Common Joe! Free agency is a 2-way street. Was there any evidence Thuney wanted to sign here, even in an overpay situation? Same thing with Corey Linsley? I'm asking honestly because I have no idea. Douglas said in this same zoom session that he wants the Jets to be come a FA destination. They're obviously a long way away from that. It requires having a lot of homegrown talent first. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted him too, but he was never coming here with that offer from them. Possibly/probably.... but OL is the one place where no expense should be spared. When you do well fiscally as Joe has, saving some money, getting the Cap right, etc. it lets you do something like splurge for an insurance policy. If this organization ruins two Top 3 QBs in a row it will prove once and for all how cursed the organization is. We threw what, $86M at CJ Mosley, $45M at Carl Lawson this year??? JD should not only be looking to the Draft for OL but should be on the phone with other NFL teams offering picks as high as #34 to get an elite RT or OG. JMHO. The repair job Carolina has to do with Darnold is due to the Jets shell-shocking him for years, making him run for his life in the hopes of finding an open Braxton Berrios or Josh Malone streaking down the field. That's not how you develop good habits in a QB. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPitch Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Well what do you expect JD to say? Its obvious were taking zach. By not making any bones about it, he sends a message that if anyone wants the 2 pick, youd better send a crazy offer. smart.

That's not how you develop good habits in a QB. The only 2 OL that were worth splurging on were Thuney and Linsley. That's it, end of list. And Thuney got good money from KC. Why would he come here even for a good bit more money? Money is the top factor for all/most FA's but it isn't the ONLY factor. Quality OL just don't hit free agency often. Even in a year where the cap went down that was the case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPitch Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I might be overthinking but sounds like capt morgan is very much liked by JD. He drafted him. maybe Gase hated the pick and ignored the player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is not that I know for sure whether the Jets have a higher grade on him, but that they believe Wilson is the best fit for their team. They know Lawrence is headed to JAX. Personally, I've always liked Wilson best. I think Lawrence is overrated-no BS 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all of this and the several comments made about FA being a choice and one that Joe Thuney would have had to make regardless of the $$. There's still just an overall sense of frustration obviously on my part at how the improvement of the OLine has taken place at a snail's pace. Where is the creativity in terms of a trade for a RT or an OG? Why is all of the Jets recent trading success only attributable to departing talent rather than acquiring it? It's not just Joe Thuney and it's not just about this free agency period for Joe Douglas.... Why isn't Jack Conklin a Jet? How about pursuing Costanzo or Glasgow harder last year? (Yes, all three were better than what we had in 2020) We've got a giant steaming pile of Meh everywhere right of our left tackle. The Jets had the 29th ranked OLine last year. It's past the time for words about supporting the QB. It's time to actually support the QB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
