BoogSportsGuy Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I understand with the way the board fell people being upset with the capital moved in the trade, but when you consider it’s only a 45 point difference on the trade chart (a mid fourth rounder) I think its a no brainer if they had a top 10 grade on AVT. You have that capital so you can go get your guy if need be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its also obvious, looking at the lack of consensus with these picks across the NFL, that there is a lack of depth in this draft. I think trading up to get the best guard and losing picks that in other drafts might be the equivalent of 4th rounders is good business, but that's just my take on it. No doubt the Jets drafted a top notch guard whose going to form a pretty dominate left side to run behind with Becton. ( great trade). Seriously doubt AVT was on the Raiders radar, as they were in need of a starting ORT , and AVT doesn’t have the arm length you must have to play tackle for the Raiders.( why Tevin Jenkins arm half inch shorter than you must have was never going to be option for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the Jets have problems keeping the rush from up the middle because our OL is that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the third best OL in this entire draft, and it cost two third round picks to go get him. We got a 4th in return. I just...I really, I mean.... There is no saying that Darrisaw couldn't move inside and he can play RT which we have a shakey player at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebuzzardman Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Ah, much better level of complaining in here. I thought Jetnation was going to disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can now pencil in 4 of 5 starters at oline, with RG being only hole. You take darrisaw and cut fant, you’re just ignoring the holes at guard and possibly not even upgrading at RT. The only way this looks good is if this guy becomes a perennial Pro Bowler. G's are not normally selected this high and not traded up for. Fant was in and out of the lineup last season. If he shakes the injury bug, then I would agree but I have seen this movie before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
