Poll: This Coming Draft (April 2022)

[TuscanyTile2]

How do you want to approach the top 3 rounds of the upcoming draft?

[k-met57]

OL, CB, LB, TE

[JoeDouglasFart]

Trade for a competent HC.

[Larz]

Free agency comes first 

Gotta see who goes and comes first 

[T0mShane]

[Jets723]

Last year we focused heavily on offense.  I think this year will be more of a split the first 4-5 picks 

[HawkeyeJet]

Whoops, sausage fingered my pick.  50/50 split.  I think the skill positions outside of TE are decent. 

[Uncle Nicco]

OL OL WR TE

[TuscanyTile2]

I'm voting to prioritize offense.  We still have gaping holes on the OL and at TE.  How many years in a row did we draft defensive players in the 1st round and never have a great defense?  Meanwhile Dallas loaded up on offense and, this past year, made major strides on defense (after being atrocious on defense last year).

[adb280z]

It would help to just get some good players.  They're terrible on offense and defense.  Probably closer to being decent one day on offense but they need help at almost every position.  

[DetroitRed]

Depends.  Get good players 

[Web72]

Of our 4 picks in the first 2 rounds 

Edge CB G TE

Drops ? 

[Lith]

Problem is that this team has so many glaring holes, on both sides of the ball, that it is hard to say which way they should go.  All depends on the talent on the board when they pick.  Edge, Safety, TE, OL, WR1, LB, CB, T.  Although I think the holes are way deeper on D than on O.

[OilfieldJet]

Revolting that we are talking draft position again sometime around Halloween. Honestly I could care less.

[GloryDays1985]

Easy-

Best player available. There isn’t one area this team can’t improve on. 

[chirorob]

If they went pass rusher with the 1st pick, and Linderbaum woth the 2nd 1st rounder, I would be very happy.

[David Harris]

OL, Edge, CB

 

TE in top 3 rounds

[Jimmy 2 Times]

I'm taking either Thibodeaux or Hutchinson with our highest pick.

After that I concentrate on the offense still.  Center, Tackle, Tight Ends, Guard.

 

This defense only works if you can pressure the quarterback.  Top edge rushers without serious flaws don't reach free agency.  get the stud while you can.  Spend the money on linebackers and safeties before the draft.  The defense can be fixed with money, the offense must be built through the draft. 

[Jet Life]

We need a TE, guard and linebackers badly. Probably new safeties too after Maye walks

What if it’s QB?

playmakers

[Darnold Schwarzenegger]

Jets average 17 points a game. Even if we had the best defense in the league you still wouldn’t win many games putting up only 17 points.
 

Plus it would be nice to watch a game without going 3 and out 5 times a game. 
So I’d go offense.  Then you can fix the defense later

when is the last time we had a playmaker that opponents had to account for on every snap? Revis? Maybe Brandon Marshall?

Jamal Adams.  Duh.

[maury77]

My approach is going to be not to follow the draft so I don’t get pissed about who the Jets pick so I can blindly hope they turn out good

[TuscanyTile2]

This is quite a bell curve we've got going here.  Though if we rotate it 90 degrees, it's like a big middle finger.

[Be_a_Jet]

I’d like: 

1st round: Edge, OL

2nd Round: pending which player is available pick best of either LB/S/TE combo - with highest priority on LB probably then TE  

3rd: Whatever you didn’t get from combo above

4th: CB depth or OL depth

5th: WR or CB depth

Hopefully in FA we can eliminate or reduce severity of need into these areas - likely in the safety realm since they are cheaper and shorter deal length is more attainable. Also think going into draft with a top tier RG like Scherff would allow us tremendous flexibility 

 We must walk away from draft though with a quality Edge prospect so one of those first rounders gotta be used on that and it’s likely the first one. Hopefully Hutchinson is there if not Karlaftis is looking good too. 

[RSJ]

Is anyone with the last name Bosa declaring for the draft this year?

Joe Douglas is running the draft, so does it really matter?

At this point it's just a matter of when he gets fired, and how much more damage he does to the team.

[DonCorleone]

It won't matter who this team brings in. It has the worst coaching staff in the league.

Well stated. It will take years to clean up this roster mess..

[undertow]

Well if we got the coach that was advertised you should be able to build a solid defense in free agency and later in the draft and go offense....but I guess we need to fill every position on defense with all pros to run this system...it almost seems like this team has more holes then last draft and we are going backwards.

If there is he’ll most certainly get taken 1 pick before us.

[Sperm Edwards]

Currently we're set to pick #3 and #10.

Round1 = impossible to say who'll climb, but if there's an opportunity to move down from #3 like Miami did? I'm doing that first, and doubling up in round 1 next year (plus whatever else comes with it)

Further things that'd impact it include what the team does in FA, and frankly what positions are projected where when you're talking about picks this early. Also right now we don't know of any player-for-pick trade(s) to be had.

Positions I'd target, without knowing anything about who's projected where, and whether or not we've moved down? 

rd 1 = WR1 and FS or OLB.

rd 2 = G/C and TE. (I'd like to upgrade C also, but top 10 is preposterously early for a center)

rd 3 = leftover from rd 1

rd 4 = developmental/pipeline edge and ILB

rd 5 = G and...honestly this late it's hard enough to hit without ruling out some positions; just BAP

Follows FA, and frankly they'll have to overpay. Another season like this, with a HC who fires up nobody, and it's going to be harder than usual to attract talent.
