Take a C/G in the 1st round and a RT in the 2nd or 3rd round. Let these young (and talented) guys grow together. That's how great O-lines are built. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they have TE available that would be a nice signing as well (Dalton Schultz) Dalton Schultz is a very solid player, has 150 receptions in the last 2 seasons, has played in 49 of 49 games the last 3 seasons, and is currently 25 years old. That is a guy you throw money at. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAD_Brooklyn Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 2 hours ago, ScarletKnight89 said: If Evan Neal is there at pick 4, that's the guy the Jets should take in my opinion. Especially now that Jameson Williams likely has a torn ACL. Neal can fill the RG position, slide to right tackle next year when Fant is a Free Agent, and provide insurance for the Jets at left tackle in 2022 if Becton still can't get on the field. Becton-AVT-McGovern-Neal-Fant would be a pretty sweet offensive line heading into next season. You could also go a different position at 4 and draft Linderbaum at 10, but you don't know if Linderbaum will still be on the board and I don't particularly think drafting a center that high is a great idea. Scherff would be a great addition, but I think the Jets should be pouring their resources into defense and skill position players in free agency. Evan Neal shouldn't be on the Jets draft radar. Is he the best LT in the draft? Arguably so. Is he the best fit for the Jets? Absolutely not. We don't run a smash mouth gap blocking concept. Thats like a team who features gap blocking drafting Linderbaum thinking he'll be a beast like he was in Iowa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSteve Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 THIS is why you don't build through Free agency when you are a losing franchise. Everyone points to NE and says "LOOK!" They spend money and are contenders again. No crap! They have half a dozen Super Bowls and are THE franchise to model after! Everybody wants to come to them and will come at a fair price. But if Scherff doesn't want to be the top paid guard at a team out of the playoffs but better than us, why do Jets fans want to sign him for even MORE money to get him to come here. If that isn't the textbook definition of a player looking to get paid, and will probably not live up to expectations (not surprisingly), I don't know what is.

Let's draft and develop our own guys (Brandon Moore says hi ). I like that idea, too, but would rather bring in a sure thing if the opportunity is there, while the team's locked in on enough sub-$10MM linemen as it is. e.g. bring in a veteran RG (and I'm not that concerned about cost), leave McGovern alone at least until the draft, and if we take a C/G prospect on day 2 I'd be happy with that. Keep in mind, all that's position fill-ins without names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhg1084 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Schreff should be JDs number one target in free agency. Signing him is the cherry on top to a finished offensive line. Now he doesn’t have to worry about finding another offensive lineman in the draft and can focus going all in on defense. Schreff should be his first call when free agency opens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets are only going to get the FA's that are basically solely about money? Are those the guys that aren't passionate about winning? If that's the case, is that why our FA seem far to often to be bums? In other words, the FA's that care about winning - we can't get. The perfect example at the same position from just 10 months ago might be Joe Thuney. Apparently the Jets put a really hard press on him in free agency and were opening the wallet. He wants to win and signed with KC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to search high & low for 4 year old rumor links, but iirc that's roughly where their top offer was, in that range. Here's one from espn, right before FA started, expecting his contract to be in that $11-12MM range, but that's not what I was remembering. Keep in mind, DeCosta & the Ravens didn't think he was worth the $15MM franchise tag, considering where they'd have to cut corners elsewhere. Seems like a good team-first guy, but that contract was nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a huge issue, not only for us, but for other struggling/rebuilding teams. As much as teh draft is designed to give bad teams a chance to improve, FA is skewed the other way and is a barrier to the kind of parity that the NFL really wants. Guys will take less money to play for a contender and I can't blame them. And then you hear the typiccal refrain on this site, wow, I can't believe JD/Macc/Idzik didn't sign the player at that price. We will add some pieces in FA, but the key to this ongoing rebuild will be the draft. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 4 hours ago, Sperm Edwards said: Love his ability on the field - who wouldn’t? - but he hasn’t played a full season since his 2nd year in the league. That’s 5 straight years where he’s missed multiple games (not counting games he left early with those injuries). If he’s looking for something pushing $20MM/yr, that’s way overboard for a guy who’s that unreliable from a health standpoint, especially with a 17th game added (and - gasp - playoffs beyond that if the Jets get their act together aside from just RG). I’ve got no issues paying up big for a RG, especially when the team’s LG counterpart is on a relatively cheap rookie deal for the next 3 seasons, and not having either tackle making in excess of $10MM. But it can’t be a guy who misses this many games, especially with Becton not being a 100%-snaps guy himself, to say the least: 2017: missed 2 (knee) 2018: missed 8 (shoulder in a brace earlier, then tore a pectoral, and would’ve missed the postseason) 2019: missed 5 (ankle; and would’ve missed the postseason) 2020: missed 3 (knee; played all snaps in WFT’s 1 playoff game) 2021: missed 4 to injury (knee; then 2 more were because he tested positive for covid in late Dec, but I can’t fault him for that) Anyway that’s just way too many missed games for a guy demanding that much. Historically injury prone players don’t tend to get suddenly less injury prone, for the next few years in a row, starting at age 31. So you're saying he plays like a Jet?

I could see Shultz and Williams as both are in theor mid 20s and wont be the highest paid players at their position. With Trey Mcbride being at the senior bowl and available in round 2, it just makes too much sense for us not to draft him there. His upside is waaaaay better then Shultz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
