Vincent also noted that the hope is to bring "as much back to normal as possible" after the marquee offseason event has been altered recently due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As for the combine process for the athletes specifically, Vincent added they are currently looking at changing the experience, saying, "We can do better." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I also think people are flat out sleeping on Karlaftis. I think he has Cam Jordan type game. Same for Leal from A&M. They aren’t the super bendy Chandler Jones type, but at 275 each are incredibly “twitchy”. If they take either at 4 I would not be surprised. If they could move back and still grab one, then even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hamilton sounds to me like Derwin James, big, fast a good play maker and hurt for half of every season. Unless they fall in love with one of the second tier pass rushers I'm also on the trade down freight train. At this point there is a whole mish mash of players after about 3 of close value. There are some good WRs but unfortunately for us I do not think there is a sire fire standout #1 guy that is obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are great risks in the later rounds. I'd rather take a risk in the 6th round, and maybe get lucky. In the 1st and 2nd round you need guys who you know will play. That being said, a lot of the guys JD drafted early did not have huge injury histories in college. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already gone down that road with Zuniga with a 3rd round pick. Worse to get that kind of player in round 1 or 2... If a kid can't stay healthy for 12 or so college games, how about 17 NFL games? Could happen, but very risky with an early pick. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sourceworx Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 Elite pass rusher and receiver with the two first round picks. Saleh doesn't need elite CBs to run his scheme successfully. They can find one in the second round that'll work just fine for them. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjasi Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I totally get the trade down logic and not be upset at all if Douglas moved down from 4 and picked up a 2023 1st rounder in the process. BUT - as I say every year around this time, draft narratives can change drastically as you get closer. Boards will change - players you are hardly thinking of now will be in the discussion. The combine will be huge for the edge rushers. Lots can change. also - I will reiterate my interest in Kyle Hamilton and a few of these WRs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious which, if any, receivers separate from the pack.

Skeet Ulrich Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Jets would've been drafting 2 if they did the smart thing and lost last week to the Jags, guaranteeing either Hutchinson or Thibodeaux. I'm sure we'll all be happy with that win 5 years from now. Really important. Wilson threw for what, 100 yards? Real program building win. It's utterly mindboggling how the Jets consistently win meaningless games to ruin their draft position. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaisson was their second first rounder in 2020. It makes little sense for JAX to draft an Edge. Their need at OT is so obvious and they risk destroying their golden-haired QB's career if they don't address it. Maybe they can swing a trade down to 2 or 3 but I'm not sure anyone is paying a ransom to move up for a non-QB. What they SHOULD do? Draft the best OT. What they WILL do? Hard to say. But a third DE is a luxury they really can't afford. The problem is that even if they take the OT, it's likely that Hutch and Thib will go 2-3. Now DET needs WR more than anything. So I could see them possibly trading down, possibly more than once, to load up picks and take a top WR in the 6-12 range. Supposing Hutch gets past JAX, would you trade #4 and one of our 2nd rounders to move up? As for HOU, they would probably take an Edge, but they might also beat SF next week which, depending on what happens to the Jets, could push up into the 3 spot. It's really too early with so many things going on, but it will make the next two Sundays interesting. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the staff is convinced they have the next Revis, they would make the pick and change the scheme. You are not taking a CB top 5 and playing zone with him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Jets though, and this is the worst draft since they held picks 9 and 13 in 2013. So while a trade down would be great its going to be a tough sell. A Houston win, Jacksonville wanting a tackle, and/or a QB (or two) moving up the board would all be great. I do genuinely believe that whether it’s David Ojabo or Jameson Williams or someone else there’s going to be someone who flies up boards as a production + playoff hype + combine monster at a premium position. I also don’t think the tackle makes sense but we’ll see how free agency goes. If they don’t sign a guard the Neal/Ekwonu to guard for a year before Fant leaves and as Becton insurance will be on the table. I don’t think it’s awesome use of assets but a lot hinges on how they feel about Becton. Given Mims hasn’t played and Zuniga and Morgan got cut - it’s not a first round pick and not like they’re going to cut Becton but I also don’t think Douglas is going to carry dead weight for the sake of carrying dead weight. But yeah four is absolutely no man’s land right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR24 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 If Thibs, Hutch and Neal are gone and we can’t trade down I would take Jameson Williams at #4 and then the best non CB defensive player on the board with the Seattle pick.

long time suffering Jets f Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Let’s say for arguments sake the draft order in the top 4 remains the same. Jax picking at 1 will be key. It would make logical sense for them to take Neal since their OL needs help. One would think the Lions and Texans would take Hutch and Thibs. That’s where things could get interesting. With all the talk about the Jets trading down, it wouldn’t shock me if the Jets try to trade up to nab one of the stud DE’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
