DetroitRed Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 He’s probably right. But you gotta remember, he would have traded our next decade of ones away already 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post flgreen Posted April 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2021 yeah, IMO one of, or both of the RB's could be there at 34. In my mind I would like to see the Jets go Wilson, OT (Teven Jenkins?) to be kicked inside at Guard this year. When 34 came, if either ETN, or Harris was there, I would have a hard time passing on them 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post YankeeJet22 Posted April 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2021 They're so damn tempting, but you really just have to look away. Everyone agrees on why it's best to not use premium picks on them, but probably the No. 1 reason to me is that RBs are at their best performance-wise AND value-wise their first 4 years in the league. They're usually not worth signing after that, because they're so easily replaceable. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better value for RBs will be in the third round. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantasy Island Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Najee Harris reminds me of Derrick Henry. Titans got lucky to get Henry in the 2nd. A RB at 23 would not be a bad call. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 A good RB like Etienne or Harris improves this offense instantly it helps the passing game. A JAG RB like guys we have signed in free agency like Forte,Ivory,Gore etc over the years have done nothing. A JAG RB like we've been drafting like McGuire,Perine,Cannon etc over the years have done nothing. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beerfish Posted April 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2021 The value is low but a real good back can make your team. No one can tell me that tennessee would be any factor without henry, that Indy last year would be near the team without their young back, that new orleans would be as good with out kamara, dalvin cook, etc etc. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A RB at 23 would not be a bad call. I think Henry was more of a big play back in college and projects to be the same in the pros. Just more explosive and an absolute load. Henry slipped more because he was so gigantic he didn’t fit into prototypes, that’s not so much the case for Harris, and it turns out Henry may not be a prototype but he is definitely a freak and it doesn’t hurt him. Just my opinion, but any team that thinks they’re drafting the next Henry will be disappointed. And I’m sure there will be several over the next few years. Green Bay already kind of did it last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I supported him yes like I do almost every player who wears the laundry. I posted his highlight films hoping he lived up to them after he was drafted. I never said we should draft him. Patrick Mahomes,DeShaun Watson,DK Metcalf of recent those are guys I wanted drafted by the NY Jets. How about you. @Jet Nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 I'd rather one of the second/third tier RBs at a much lower spot, like #86 or lower. There are a handful of mid/late round guys who could be a fit for the Jets wide zone rushing scheme. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris and Etienne are good prospects, but not "superstar" prospects. Their stock has been inflated a bit because of the teams they play for. Taking a guy like Michael Carter in the third round is much better value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Last 2 times this team was worth a sht we had 2 of the best RBs we've ever had in Curtis and TJ. You guys wanting to go forward with Tevin Coleman and Adams will be the first whining that Zippy isn't being surrounded with enough talent. Our RB situation should be a higher priority than the WRs as presently constructed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not the sure thing and change the way we've been doing things for 52 years. Sure things? RB is among the most volatile positions. Not only can injuries derail the careers of elite backs very quickly (which may well be happening to Saquon Barkley already), but there's absolutely no guarantee you'll find an elite RB by drafting one high. Which of these highly drafted RB's over the past decade were "sure things"? Trent Richardson (2012, 1.3) Leonard Fournette (2017, 1.4) C.J. Spiller (2010, 1.9) Rashaad Penny (2018, 1.27) Jahvid Best (2010, 1.30) Sony Michel (2018, 1.31) David Wilson (2012, 1.32) TJ Yeldon (2015, 2.36) Ronald Jones (2018, 2.38) Ryan Williams (2012, 2.38) Kerryon Johnson (2018, 2.43) Isaiah Pead (2012, 2.50) Toby Gerhart (2010, 2.51) Ameer Abdullah (2015, 2.54) Bishop Sankey (2014, 2.54) And as has been pointed out by other posters, Etienne and Najee Harris are far from being surefire elite talents. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
