Tyler sucks as well- Use a high draft pick and get us a real tight end The tight end is a key position these days and most of the playoff teams have good ones-yes they have other good players too (clearly QB is most important) but tight end is an important position -Jets have not had a really good one since Mickey Shuler Bills-Knox-dude is a stud Chiefs-Kelce a monster talent 9ners-Kittle a bit brittle but a stud Tampa-Gronk you very much Cards-Ertz very solid Rams-Higbee- great hands but a notch below the top tier Eagles-Goedert solid as well Titans-for the most part trash but firskster is miles ahead of ours Cowboys-Shultz very solid Bengals CJ -great hands and a td waiting to happen Raiders-Waller-another great player when healthy Pats-Henry and J smith-Henry is legit-Smith not so much You forgot Mark Andrews and his 107 receptions. Interesting fact, in 2018 the Ravens drafted 2 TE's - Hayden Hurst in the first round with the 21st pick and Mark Andrews in the 3d round with the 86th pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Wooty Doo Doo Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Sign one and draft one . We are definitely not getting the Miami TE and Dallas is not letting Shultz go . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 4 hours ago, LAD_Brooklyn said: I certainly agree that we cant have both. We either sign a low end TE and draft someone in the 2nd round or sign Schultz, while drafting someone in the 4th. It would be an overkill to sign Schultz and draft McBride considering we have needs every where. I agree we have needs everywhere but I think we have to double down on TE this year. We haven't had squat at the position for years. We have plenty of cap space and 2 2nd rounders. We need to sign 1 and draft 1 (ideally draft the top TE). It would help ZW out quite a bit. And we could sign or draft a WR. That would give him a legit complement of weapons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBride is taking every snap as the number 1 tight end the minute he is drafted. You would sign a second tier tight end to back him up. Maybe a guy like Anthony Firsker or Durham Smythe.

Jet Nut Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 6 hours ago, Untouchable said: He should be at the top of Douglas’ wishlist if Dallas allows him to hit FA. Outside of maybe 2-3 years of Dustin Keller this team has had a black hole at TE since the Shuler days. Pairing up Schultz with McBride would be ideal but I doubt the Jets would invest a Top 40 pick in another TE after signing Schultz in FA. Schultz + Ruckert is more realistic IMO and would go a long way towards improving the position. You didn’t like Fred Baxter? Johnny Mitchell? Kyle Brady?

Or sign Schultz and use the McBride pick somewhere else. This team has lists of needs so if we can save a higher slot for another position like LB or WR, the better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE is a position that often takes longer to develop than most. Signing a starting caliber guy in free agency is pretty much a must. In all honesty, I don’t expect Joe Douglas to give Schultz eight figures, but I could easily see him get someone like Njoku. I wouldn’t be thinking in terms of backup TE so much, either, I’d be thinking about two TE sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have no trouble playing tight end in the league right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than $20M over the cap and that is with guys like Schultz, Williams, Wilson, Van Der Esch, Gregory and Gallup hitting FA. Restrucuting Dak and Zeke can free up space, but they are going to have to let some guys go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a moon shot to me, but would be really happy if it happens. So many seem to think signing him will be straightforward here We're not using our full cap every year. If we are going to 'overpay' someone, this feels like a time to do it. Top TE money right now is in the $14M/year range, which is a far lower bet than overpaying to bring in a top WR (Adams would probably cost $27M/year or more). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
