Popular Post OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2022 Many Jet fans agree Edge at #1A where Purdue’s Karlaftis or Michigan’s Ojabo likely await. Interesting that several ‘lazy’ pundits have us taking a corner with our first pick, ignoring the fact we run a heavy zone operation and place more of a premium on Edge. But there’s a split amongst the VERY knowledgeable fan base (hehe) between OL vs WR at #1B. Looking at mocks, there doesn’t appear to be a clear cut top WR at the top and it’s interesting to note that everyone’s favorite Center from Iowa can be had mid first round round. Probably because that’s about as high as dominant centers tend to go. Which takes us to the Eagles and their 3 first round picks in the ~middle of the draft. Some key questions: 1. Do they believe in Hurts? 2. Do they LOVE a guy like Pickett (or other QB)? 3. Would they make a run at Watson? They’ve set themselves up to land their QB of the future if they don’t believe Hurts is that guy, a reasonable but not guaranteed assumption. The top QB taken should be in the #7-10 range, right where we should land with the Seattle pick. What better trading partner than the non conference Jets with front office ties and a common adversary (Giants)? A team like the Jets with multiple holes that could be filled middle of round 1 where the Eagles sit. Seems too perfect a match but definitely something to keep an eye on. The draft is always fluid so it will be interesting to see if anything changes in this dynamic between now and the draft. A dream scenario could be Seattle pick for 2 of their firsts that we use to acquire both a Center and WR. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dream scenario could be Seattle pick for 2 of their firsts that we use to acquire both a Center and WR. I suppose if they really covet the pick that falls to us. Not sure they would want to part with 2 first rounders, but since those would be mid-range picks in the first round that is what it would take. And like you said getting three first rounders for us netting Edge, WR, and another Olineman would be great all 3 being very high prospects. We can then get another TE in the 2nd round and be in good shape, since those 4 positions are our biggest needs. The Edge rusher will make our secondary even better. We mainly need to get the offensive players no matter what it takes for Zack to progress even farther. He looks like he can raise the level of play of the skill position players. Heck, he was making Cole and Yaboah look real good yesterday and those are limited ceiling players since Cole will only ever be so good, and Yaboah needs more experience though he looks like he may continue to progress as a pass catcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles will NOT take a QB this year, let alone trade UP premium assets for a QB in a mediocre QB class. Now... they may actually trade up for another position possibly, but they arent using their 1sts to do so, they can easily let the draft come to them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I think JD trades back on both first round picks. There is not a lot of value in the top 10 or 15 of this draft. None of those players are truly high impact players. I think it is the weakest top 10 in a long time. This feels a lot like the 2008 Draft when everyone and their uncle was trying to convince themselves that players wore worthy of a top of the first round pick. The value this year is 16 through 40 and the middle rounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely aren’t gonna get thibs or hutch, which I’m not too upset about, Stingley isn’t all that he’s being built up as and I don’t want to draft another safety high. OT would be nice but I’d imagine JD is gonna do everything to have Becton prove he can do it or that he can’t do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClashFan Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 If both of the top two edge prospects are gone, I'd be happy if the Jets trade 1a back if they get a nice deal. But, sadly, who would be trading up for what? Usually, there would be a QB to do that for, but maybe not in this draft. Kenny Pickett? Maybe some QB lights up the combine? Maybe someone falls in love with Hamilton or Stingley?? Yeah, probably not. A dream might be Jets trade 1a back for the first two Philly picks. If that were today, the Jets would end up with 7, 14, and 19. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there was talk about the eagles going after Watson and some thought Minshew did more with their offense than Hurts. With that said, I agree that it would be foolish for the Eagles to give up on Hurts. He is a good NFL QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, by the time draft day rolls around the Teams/pundits will hype up at least 1 QB up into the top 1/2. Howell and Corrall are both getting top 10 hype already. Ridder and Willis are being talked about in the 1st round. A couple of those guys will have monster pro days and shoot up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungaman Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 If Philly doesn't want to pick a QB THIS YEAR, but is not wholly sold on Hurts, they might trade one or two of their first rounders to someone for a first in next year's draft - so they can hedge their capital in case Hurts bombs next year, and picking a QB is in their sights once again. Douglas might indeed trade down here and there, and stockpile for next year if he can. If he can trade down for a lower first round pick plus a high pick in next years' draft, it might make sense - spreading out the future cap hits and not getting too young(er.)

I think Goff was still supposed to go around #7-ish this time in 2016, with Tunsil locked in at #1? If there's just one top QB prospect, and his supposedly-appropriate slot # is 7-ish as well, then it's the 4 pick that should be in play (if things end as they are now). The Giants surely will take a QB, so if there's just one top guy this year - and more than just the Giants love him - we'd be in the perfect trade down slot at #4. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not so sure thats a great comparison. While the 2022 draft doesn't have a lot of clear cut top 5 talent, its definitely deep at certain positions like O-line and Edge. An argument can be made that Hutch, Thib, Leal, Karlaftis, Ojabo, Johnson, Leal, Neal, Green, Ikwonu, Cross, Linderbaum, Hamilton, Stingley, Booth, Corral are all top 10 prospects and high impact players. Again, in particular because of the depth at Edge and O-line. Its a bit too early to tell. As we approach the draft, certain players will separate themselves.

BigRy56 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I do think that JD will trade down from one of our top 10 picks. He values the draft that much that I could see him trading down and looking to keep the double firsts alive for next year as well. Personally, I would probably prefer to stay put and take the picks UNLESS it’s a team with 2 firsts this year that wants to cough them both over. Picking 3 times in round 1 on top of the 2 second rounders would be fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both tremendous reaches and there is a lot of depth at EDGE. Nor am I taking a CB. Neal would be the obvious pick there, but safety is super important to Saleh's defense so they could go Hamilton. BTW for this draft EDGE is no where near our most important need because Zach remains the priority,. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, you may be right, going into the draft there may not have been a clear cut top 5. However, that draft was also deep at O-line and Edge/D-line. And as it turned out, a lot of the guys drafted early, even if they weren't quite top 5 talents, ended up being Pro Bowlers. Look, I guess we are splitting hairs. I'm all for a trade down if one is available, as long as we get a good player. In particular an edge and oline. I just don't want us to trade down and whiff. I'd be totally happy if we took Karlaftis/Ojabo/Johnson at #4 and traded the Seattle pick to move down to the high teens to take Linderbaum or Ekwonu. Or some variation of that.

rangerous Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 obviously it depends on how this draft shakes out. apparently there are a few edge guys but it's not like they're going to go 1-2-and 3. they'll be spread out. and a qb might get into the top 10 or even a rb. the jets need to make their picks count so i can easily see them staying put and picking up maybe 4 really good players. but they can also trade back a few spots and pick up more picks this year or even picks for next year. can you imagine trading back a couple of spots with the giants and getting their first rounder plus one in 2023? that would really be keeping the cupboard full.

Joe Willie White Shoes Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I don't buy the idea that the Jets should trade down because the player they want is slated to be picked later. There is no guarantee that the player slides down the board and there are plenty of examples of mid round first round picks being better players than early picks. Bottom line - if you really want a player, taking him at 6-7 rather than trying to trade down to 12-18 or so is fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
