Popular Post TMAC Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 I don't profess to possess the acumen to qualify me to make the selections for the Jets (although I know I would have done much better than Idzik or Maccagnan), but basic knowledge tells me that the Jets must draft offensive lineman this year, particularly since they are selecting a QB with the second pick. We saw what happened to Joe Burrow. We saw what happened to Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. Even Aaron Rogers struggled when his OL was mediocre. We have five picks in the first 100 and another pick at 107. We have to pick at least one OL and preferably 2 OL with the first 5 picks. It is not a coincidence that the last time the Jets were good, they had a quality OL. This happened with the drafting of Mangold and Brick. It's not rocket science. I can't look at these mock drafts which show us picking linebackers, wide receivers, safeties and running backs but not addressing the elephant in the room: the offensive line. Come on, Joe. Don't be an idiot like Maccagnan. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayzor Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 All the mocks have all the top OT's already off the board when we pick. Hopefully one drops and we won't have to trade up to get one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware of every teams starting 5. The jets are among the worst. They have Becton and that's basically it. They can find a qb they can rebuild the line, but they probably won't be able to do both in the same draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 We need 2 olineman in this draft. One early and one late. We are not nearly as desperate at the position as most Darnold fans, i mean jet fans think. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gives you the impression that a guy who drafted two OL and a WR in his first draft is not going to continue to draft OL and WR in his second draft? Your posts are making assumptions and then creating a narrative on the assumptions. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethead Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Unless the decide to trade up because a Waddle or Smith can be had for a reasonable price, I want the Jets to use the 23rd pick on either a top Guard/RT prospect or one of the primo Center guys. If they trade up then use the 34th pick for the OL. Also, would not be upset if the go OL at 23 and take Etienne at 34. Make Saleh use his Defensive acumen to coach up the D, spend the premium capital on the O!!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so but JD may have to violate one of his most closely held draft rules to make that happen. There’s a pretty good chance that the four or five best guys available at #23 are not offensive linemen. JD will have to reach, which will make him sick to his stomach.

varjet Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 FA and the Draft work together. We just went through a FA where there were few good OL available and a team 2 years out from the SB paid the top G record money. That team is also picking 31st, before the Jets at 34, and will likely pick up another OL (my guess the best T) before the Jets pick at 34. Right now there are multiple CBs still available in FA, and JD thought it worth it to sign a guy like Dan Feeney for over $1mm. So, if I am a team drafting 10-22, I am prioritizing an OL, because it is a priority position in today's NFL. That means that my guess is that it would be unlikely that an OL would be the BPA at 23, which would short circuit a draft guru like JD. The good news is that FA also saw WR as a premium position, with many WRs drafted below the 1st round getting franchised or signed for big money. So if I am a GM, I am looking to draft WR as well. In the third round and below, which is where Thuney and other good Gs were picked, there should be opportunity, but they often take longer to get adjusted. So, like in so many years, I am not expecting to walk away from the draft thinking that the Jets have filled their holes. We actually thought Mac finally filled holes with Polite and Edoga, and look at how that ended up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bengals were picking first, we know how hard it is to tank to get that 1st pick. Bottom line, if your team sucks at drafting over time you’re going to need every position from qb to OL to wr to pass rusher. If you were the gm of the jets and didn’t take a qb at 2 you would ultimately be fired b/c the team would not get better quickly enough and you’d be considered a wimpy gm for not swinging with all these qbs here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
