This.  Bless Austin was also an excellent find.  Many are down on him but I think he will absolutely thrive in the new zone scheme.  He has size, speed, power and demonstrated professionalism.  I was so impressed with his physical condition when he reported last season. 

Plus if we get any pass rush this season it will go a a long way to helping those DB's look a tad better.

Exactly.  All this calling for a RB...

If the guy we draft can't clearly displace Coleman, Adams or Johnson, let alone Perrine, then he's a wasted pick.  And I don't feel strongly that any of the guys left on the board will do that with any high degree of confidence.

Yeah, I think they brought Coleman in with the idea that they’d pass on RB this year. They’ve got the veteran now along with a few young bucks in Perine, Johnson and Adams. RB room looks pretty complete to me if not spectacular.

The SF running game in their SB year spread the carries among three RB's

Mostert, Breida & Coleman:

They don't care about having a feature back

Great take. 

It should be completely obvious to give every single player on this offense a pass until evaluated next year in our new scheme. Gase left Miami and all of a sudden players got so much better. Literally all of them. 

 

100%. Look at Gesicki, targeted 30 times under Gase, 90 times w/ O'Shea.

And some people are saying he cant catch, and those people just remember the egregious drops, which he has but he also has the highest catch rate for anyone on the team over 30 targets.  So, I think it's that take is exaggerated.  The bottom line is, the offense was terrible and the QB was the worst in the league, really hard to judge Herndon on last year, albeit, not very inspiring.  That said, when Bates intentionally worked him into the offense as a rookie, 50+ targets, 40/500/4 gives me hope at least that with the right coaching, he can play.

You should not go out of your way to avoid excellent talent at a position because 'we are smart and we can get production from lesser players'.

Still some prime talent at RB sitting there, better than anything we have, go for it.

we have a pick right now at #107 and, then barring a trade, we have to wait all the way until pick #143

But then we have #143, #146, and #154 - so things will be hectic and interesting for about 30-40 minutes at some point this afternoon

Because he’s absolutely atrocious and when he wasn’t dropping balls last year he was fumbling after the catch. At least on the few occasions where he wasn’t invisible.

He doesn’t deserve a roster spot.

Highest catch rate on the NY Jets in 2020 for players targeted over 30 times.  

lol - you suck at this

@Jet_Engine1

85 year old Jim Brown opens the draft day 3 and  says hello. 

[Fantasy Island]

Draft a C, RB, CB, and a K today.

Herndon was awful last year, he had a couple acceptable games late in year after he had totally f'cked up about his 1st 6 games with drops and fumbles.

He is also totally unreliable due to his suspension and injuries.

He is Enunwa version 2, totally living off a short period of nice production early in his career.

He better come into camp this year ready to take a step or he can f'ck off.

[JustInFudge]

The best part about this whole conversation, is that I brought up drafting Brevin Jordan as an option today to continue to build around Wilson and simply mentioned he'd compliment Herndon well.  Instead of talking about the prospect we might draft, the cool guy smooth brains know it all's, decided that a guy who costs next to nothing who is currently TE1 on the team and led the team in catch rate last year, should be cut, so that Ryan Griffin and Daniel Brown can step and really show us what a TE should look like....oh wait, we still have Wesco, dont we?  Oh sh*t, well, then, lets cut Herndon because JN SAYS SO BABY!!!!

There is more drama and pettiness on JetNation than in an all girls middle school cafeteria.

Welcome to Day 3, where sh*t really gets excruciating and drawn out.

Nobody said he was good, simply pointed out the facts, tough guy.  Highest catch rate on the team, worst QB in the NFL, worst HC in the NFL, worst OC in the NFL.  It's not going to hurt anyone to see what Herndon can do this year with a new coaching staff but because you're hoping with Herndon, I personally like the idea of taking a TE, which is why I suggested, Brevin Jordan.  Maybe you'd like to talk about him?  

Otherwise, all I can do is apologize for making such an offensive post.

 

[celtasnake]

My favourite day.

Seeing the pick announced and fans cheering behind with no clue of who the player actually is.

[Jets4Life1979]

Jetnation I apologize for spoiling the picks on thursday it wont happen again.
