DoomProphet Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I personally want the Jets to take a top flight WR at #10, and Wilson and Burks are the top 2 WRs prospects coming out of the draft. Wilson reminds me of Elijah Moore type, great route runner. I prefer Burks personally because he is 6'4" and is a physical freak of nature and we don't have that kind of player of our team since Mims hasn't panned out. Here are highlights on both: Burks: Wilson: Let me know what you guy think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post derp Posted January 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2022 Burks is a really fun prospect. His usage reminds me of the kinds of stuff the Jets do with their wide receivers, so I think he could do that day one, but I don’t know how much traditional WR stuff he’s good at. He physically reminds me of the elite WR’s who came out a while ago and I think he can do most stuff you need a receiver to do but needs development. Not sure how that trajectory works for the Jets. The other thing is the league’s elite wide receivers don’t fit that big physically dominant mold any more. I don’t know how much of that is the new rule enforcement allows for more technician type receivers to get open more easily or just that the big receivers haven’t come out. Wilson looks really technically proficient and has quick feet. I think he has an easier time making a day one impact doing traditional wide receiver stuff. He reminds me of a lot of the guys who are on the really high end of production in the league right now - it’s just a little hard to get a read on him because Ohio State has had so many good wide receivers he hasn’t really had to be a go-to guy which analytics wise tends to help, though there are exceptions on the really good WR teams. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joejet Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I think Wilson fits into the type of offense that we play so I would prefer him. Even more important will be to get a big receiving TE. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LAD_Brooklyn Posted January 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2022 My preference would be Drake London. 6'5, 210 lbs I like Burks and I'm ok with Wilson. But Drake would add a bit of spice then what's available on the roster or FA. --------- 8. NEW YORK JETS (VIA SEA): WR DRAKE LONDON, USC Record: 5-8 Strength of Schedule: .515 Drake London still leads the FBS in contested catches with 19 — and he hasn’t played since Oct. 30 when he suffered a season-ending injury in the second quarter of USC’s game against Arizona. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound London racked up 19 contested catches in just eight games. What might be even more impressive is that the towering wideout is also still tied for fifth in the FBS with 22 forced missed tackles after the catch, so he’s not just a big-bodied red-zone target. The USC product recorded more than 100 yards receiving in six of his first seven games and was well on his way to another one before getting hurt. If he had stayed healthy, this would have been the runaway Biletnikoff Award winner. He could be the NFL antidote for Zach Wilson. 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Untouchable Posted January 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2022 Wilson I like Burks, but it seems like people are putting way too much emphasis on the physical attributes like they did with the Dorial Green-Bekham’s and Antonio Gandy-Golden’s of years past. Wilson is just a savvy, scrappy motherf*cker who wants it more than the guy who he’s going up against. He was already neck and neck with Jameson Williams before he shredded his knee. Now he’s the cream of the crop as far as I’m concerned. Very comparable to a guy like DeAndre Hopkins IMO. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Burks, I see him as a more unique prospect. (Not better just more unique) As stated in post #1 I think wilson is closer to moore. I think Burks becomes Deebo Samuel in this offense. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfine Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Big fan of Burks, but I have a feeling we are going to the best route running WR…which makes senses considering our offense is based on timing…and the ability to get open right off the bat.

This is exactly why Mims has struggled..he can never run a full route tree and why someone like Berrios is so successful.

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app I do not know if he is a great route tactician but I do not think Samuel is either. All I know is get the ball in Samuels hands and he makes huge plays. Tough for me to relate Mims to this because mims is simply a dog player. In truth I'll be happy with a few different Wrs and or Tes but my big fear is that Douglas ignoring offensive play makers for defense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65 Toss Power Trap Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Wilson seems like a no-brainer. He reminds me CeeDee Lamb, not that they are the same receiver. I just see him having the same kind of role and being productive like Lamb. However, I like Burks along with others on here. And we might be in a position to go get him. Wilson might be gone in the top 15. Burks might be around early 2nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 To me, this is a weak WR draft class. I probably wouldn't take a WR at 10. If I had to, I would take either Burks or Jameson Williams. Williams' injury makes me nervous so I'm on the fence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would trust jets to know who fits the system better IMO Wilson would fit the LaFleur system better but we already have that type of receiver in Moore. When is the last time the Jets had a legit red zone threat that could win the jump balls in the endzone and get you 12-15 TDs a year. Plus he's an athletic freak at 6' 4" and with sub 4.4 speed. Wilson is a ready NFL receiver from day one, Burks is a little more of project but he has a higher ceiling than Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawaiisOnlyJetsFan Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Burks is definitely intriguing and his upside is AJ Brown/Deebo Samuel type player, but I see a guy thats going to take a year or two to develop due to his raw/lack of route running ability. I can't imagine many here having that kind of patience if we took him at 10. Look at all the top WR's in the league (Kupp, Adams, Diggs, Hopkins, Jefferson, etc) they all have one thing in common, elite route running. I'll take the guy that can create his own separation vs a big fast guy that needs to be schemed open. Wilson is my guy if we go WR early. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
