The Official Draft Day 3 Thread

because they read it on a draft website, know absolutely nothing about the players, didn't scout them, and don't know what the jets plan is for them.

but since there is an aversion to safeties, they freak out.  

would be funny if AVT gets listed as a safety... ?

I remember many years where we were TERRIBLE at Safety and desperately wanted one.

Strong Safety Jamiem Sherwood is 6' 2" 220 and carries a 4th round grade.  A hybrid safety linebacker, he has great physical traits with 34" arms and 10" hands.  He is experienced in the box but also played well in pass defense.  Ourlads said he was "at his best in the box or as a tight quarters safety".  "Has linebacker like reactions getting downhill and uses his long arms to separate from blocks working to the ball."  "Tough to block in space" and has "solid tackling skill".  "His future may be as a hybrid/safety or situational linebacker to take advantage of what he excels at."  He is good at covering tight ends as he is rarely outmatched by strength or size.  Good special teams player.

I preferred other players since he only runs a 4.76 40.  He fits the Saleh mold of a big defensive back who can play a hybrid role as a linebacker in certain formations.  He is a tough box safety in short yardage situations.
