Sammybighead Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 We have a big body WR that doesn't separate in Mims. Why do we need london? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origen Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I want us to grab Tay Martin the WR from OK State. We can get him in the 4th probably and he could be special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 IMO the earliest JD will even consider using a pick on a WR is the second round. And he'll only do it if someone with a first round grade falls to him. He has said time and time again that he is building the Jets to compete at the line of scrimmage. So, he's gonna build from the inside out. Expect a DE, OL and/or LB with the first round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you're right and this is probably likely so JD needs to do his work and find those 2nd-3rd-4th round guys that can be a standout. Burks (if he's there), Pickens, Bell, Ezukamna, Pierce, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Btw, I'm not crying if we go Linderbaum at 10. Not a flashy move but plug him in and see him become our Creed Humphrey or Jason Kelce for the next 10 years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may not see the QB fever of last year, but I would bet the house at least one QB will be taken before the 10th pick. Lions, Texans, Panthers, Giants, Broncos all need QBs of the future. (not to mention potential trade ups). If any of them fall in full-bloom love - they will take one. And they will take him earlier than you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 2 hours ago, Peace Frog said: Not my picks. This is Mel. I think Wilson goes before 10, I like both London and Burks but at 10 not so sure which is why I'd lkke to trade back. But it's not happening. We'll see but I am expecting our offensive holes, WR and TE get filled in free agency before the draft. Mocks are always fun but everything will change after free agency and the combine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Kiper on with Bart & Hahn. Said these are not HIS projections, these are projections talking to people in the league--same with McShay. The only time he needs to make a call is when some people are saying 1st rounder and some people are saying 3rd--otherwise he's pretty narrowed down to what folks are telling him. For instance, said most teams are saying Williams is a 2nd rounder but he's hearing the NE/Saban/Beli may push him to the Pats. Pats never could have gotten a guy like this at 21 so they roll the dice. Would have been a to 8-10 pick. Said the S class is not very deep--after the top 5 the class is barren, CB is deeper. Loves McBride as an all-around talent. Don't shoot the messenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Slick Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 2 hours ago, LionelRichie said: Fastest way out of town for JD is to draft a safety at #4 so we can start the rebuild over again in 2024. I watch College games but don't really recall seeing the top players being discussed. I'll read the pre-draft stuff (mostly from this site) and try to catch up. So, I don't know much about the players but if JD takes a Safety with the #4 OA I'm going to need a new TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claymation Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 2 hours ago, nycdan said: Forget about draft position for a moment. Say we're at #4 and Thibs and Hutch are gone. You want to help your defense. I can't say how the Jets will view the remaining guys, but let's say it looks like this: You can get a JFM clone or Derwin James clone only bigger. What helps this team more? I would draft Ikem Ekwonu at 4 then draft either Ojabo or Walker at 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 There are two important missing pieces of the Jets draft equation. 1) What are the in-house evaluations of players on the roster. For example, Do the Jets believe Nasirideen is a starting LB? Do they believe Marshall will become a rotational DT? How do they really feel about every RB not name Michael Carter? Do they think the McGovern has a place on their 2022 O line and, if so, is it at C with a new RG, or at RG with a new C? Do they believe there is even 1 starting quality S among the players signed for 2022? Do they think Bryce Hall is a #1 or #2 CB? 2) Do they think there are good options in free agency to add: Desperately needed starting TE capable of being a threat in the passing game. A true (or at least close to it) #1 WR. A quality starting interior O lineman. A starting S. Without the answers to questions like these, predicting the Jets draft plans is mere guessing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 4 minutes ago, Sonny Werblin said: Do they believe Marshall will become a rotational DT? This would be a incredibly expedient if it were true. Given the need to hit TE, Edge, WR, S, CB, OL and RB in both FA and the draft, not having to put resources towards the DL would great. And I'll throw Cameron Clark at rotational OL in there too for the same reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greensleeves Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 2 hours ago, BettyBoop said: Burks played most of his snaps out of the slot. Did he really? Wow. But he's 6'3 and 225 so he fits the outside well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greensleeves Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 From some scouting reports, Drake London seems like the guy we need. He's big and I read his route running is better than Wilson (who is more like Moore) and Burks, who isn't a polished route runner and seems disinterested if he's not the primary target. London, on the other hand, is big and physical and runs polished routes. He was projected as a top 10 pick while the other guys were projected end of first round into the second. I really don't want a disinterested WR that takes plays off. Plus, Zach could use a young, big target receiver to grow with - he loves Davis and he won't be around more than a season or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Can confidently state that should the Jets use either pick on a safety, I will break things. Eric Weddle came out of 2 years retirement last week for a playoff game. There is no Troy Polamalu nor Ed Reed nor Ronnie Lott in this draft. In fact guys of such talent now either become corners or LBs. There is no scarcity at the safety position. Picking a safety in the 1st round is a firing offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest difference between London and Davis is London has great, strong hands. Big wing span, great on contested catches so while he doesn't get a lot of separation, because of his size and athleticism, is always open.

Kiper said S is the shallowest position in the draft but if we can grab one of the top 5, we'd do well. Just not in Round 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
