Jordan Davis DT, Georgia

[jetstream23]

341 pounds, dude just ran a 4.78 40-yard at the Combine

 

[Jimmy 2 Times]

We all knew he was going to test well for a man his size, but what he's doing is historic.

Maccagnan would take him at #4

No he’d trade up to 1 to get him.

No, he’d trade up to #2.

Remember, the Darnold trade signature was zero guarantee of getting the guy you trade up for.

[DoubleDecker]

He's the real "unicorn" not Hamilton

[Joejet]

Perfect fit in our TE room.

Of course the amazing prospect would be a DT in the year the Jets have all the draft capital.

God damn looking at last year and what we’d have had in this position with a QB on board while now we’re looking at safeties and corners at #4. F*cking Jets.

..and yet they take him off the field on 3rd downs. Seems strange. 

[Beerfish]

The more good players that the Jets will not draft move up the board the better for the Jets, hopefully he breaks into the top 10.

With Fatukasi leaving and having had the worst run defense in the league Davis makes a ton of sense at 10

A lot of speed on display, everywhere, a 4.78 - 40 at 342 is insane.

I think the reason he comes off on third down is because he just doesn’t have the stamina to rush the passer. Saw that in the first Georgia-Alabama game. When Bama went to no huddle and started passing he couldn’t get off the line of scrimmage as he was gassed. Not saying he’s out of shape but that’s a whole hell of a lot of human to move at maximum effort for extended periods of time

It is true he is a two down DL. But there is a reason Bama decided not to even bother running the ball against Georgia. Davis and Georgias DL is just that good. The Jets rotate their line anyway so I see no difference. It does however seem that Saleh likes two penetrating DTs rather than a traditional zero technique and a three technique. Either way the run defense needs to improve or nothing else really matters.

Damn, I thought he might be an option to move up back into the late 1st for but looks like that’s gone.

RSJ   The entire defense has to improve. In my opinion  Using a premium draft choice for a two down lineman isn’t a good use of a quality pick. Some in the fan base say Quinnen isn’t that good , he was drafted too high etc etc   but he’s a heck of a lot more valuable and better than a player that after two plays is sucking wind and can’t get off the line. If JD takes him with a high pick both him and Davis would get absolutely crucified and with good reason

Some in the fan base kill Becton because of reports being out of shape, say Quinnen isn’t that good , he was drafted too high etc etc   but he’s a heck of a lot more valuable and better than a player that after two plays is sucking wind and can’t get off the line. If JD takes him with a high pick both him and Davis would get absolutely crucified and with good reason 

Davis is getting picked in the top 15 this year and for good reason. There is no need to put Davis on the field on third down if running isnt a threat. In the same way its not worth putting a pass rushing DE on the field in obvious run situations.

I think it’s highly likely the Jets look at the DT class, but I don’t think Davis is exactly what they’d be looking for, but i could definitely be wrong there. His upside could definitely be someone like Wilfork. 

He’s a force on run defense and is decent, but not dominant as a pass rusher at the moment. They rotate DL heavily anyways so i’m not as concerned about him not being a 3-down guy, but conditioning is definitely still a concern as well.

I think you are selling Davis a bit short.  He was not coming off the field after two downs because he was sucking wind.   He came off the field because that was our rotation.  Jalen Carter and Devonte Wyatt are better pass rushers.  They play on 3rd down, Davis comes out.  He had a bad game against Bama, it happens. But that is the rotaion the Dawgs played all season.  That said, your questions are legitamte.  Can he stay on the field for more than 60% of defenseive snaps (which is about what he played at UGA), since we have not seen him do it. 

For that reason, despite what he did yeterday, I still see him as a late first rounder and I think Wyatt could go ahead of him being the better pass rusher.  And as much as I love the kid, we have other needs and I would not want to see us draft him.

Lith / RSJ.    I am not saying he’s a bad player and that teams need to be built from the inside out on both sides of the ball but the team needs more than a two down run stopping defensive tackle when on numerous third and long situations this year , teams ran for first downs  To use a high draft pick on him is not a good idea at this time given the other glaring needs of the squad as presently constructed 

[TuscanyTile2]

Would JD really draft a JD?

"JD privilege!"

[Jimmy 2 Times]

If we still ran the 3-4 this kid would be our wet dream.  Wilfork with wheels. 

I think the FO drafts a DT early, but it will be a Winfrey/Wyatt type.

He had a great interview with Stacy Dales after his workout yesterday. Big kid with big personality, but Walker is more of what we need, Wyatt too.

While I think trading back from #4 will be hard and not too many teams want to come up, I'm really starting to believe trading out of #10 could become easy if the Jets want.  Somebody is going to drop to #10 and if it's a position/player the Jets don't want or need then that might be the spot to make a move backwards into the teens.

[Jimmy 2 Times]

Could you imagine if we still ran the 3-4? 

We were looking for a nose and edge for a decade and could EASILY get both this year.  

[heymangold]

Will he be available at 10?  Trade 4 for a mid teens pick, take Davis at 10 and WR/OL later in the first?

[redlichtie]

Wen we draft Hamilton at 4 and Davis at 10 ….ohh boyyyy

in all seriousness, if you think you are getting Ngata or Kris Jenkins with him then he absolutely merits top 15, maybe even top 10 consideration.
I reckon a fair few people here are in for some serious upset if they think we aren’t seriously considering addressing DT in April. Our run D was comically bad last year and with our best run stopper (FF) probably on the way out of town it would be a madman who thought we are set with Q and presumably Franklin-Myers in the middle.

Perrion Winfrey is definitely possible if there in the second round.
