Adams wants to play for the Raiders and Carr. Robinson wants to play for a Super Bowl contender. Whitehead literally won a Super Bowl 2 years ago. These guys are good players. You get as many good players as you can and keep building. There are no shortcuts. You could make the argument that Tomlisson. Reed, Whitehead Uzomah and Conklin are excellent to borderline excellent players. Tomlinsson is a Pro Bowler, Reed has the on field performance of a Top 10 CB, Whitehead is an excellent strong safety especially against the run, one of our biggest weaknesses, and Uzomah and Conklin are definitely not elite but very very good all around TEs. Zach goes from having no TEs to 2 Top 15-25 type guys. If that is not a significant upgrade not sure what is. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Jets division, the Bills are going to be dynastic, and it would appear as though the Patriots are going to stay good; in the AFC, the Jets are easily the worst, most talent-poor team three years in to Joe Douglas’s regime. It would appear that the plan going forward is to just run the ball a million times to hide the middling QB, which is what Saleh learned from Shanahan. I don’t see how that gets the Jets close to competing for anything any time soon, which is why I was advocating for taking the Hail Mary shot at Watson and keeping fingers crossed that it would work out. They had the draft capital to do it, and Watson was allegedly amenable to playing here (as rumored when he first made his trade request, pre-allegations). As fun as some of these signings have been, Douglas only got two players who can possibly move the needle in Tomlinson and Reed. Uzomah and Conklin are obviously better than what we has at TE, but even with that, they’re just solid veteran players. I very much appreciate using free agency to add players at low-value positions so as not to waste draft capital on guards and TEs, but we went into free agency as three to six win team and we come out of it as a three to six win team. Is the draft going to change that? Douglas had a catastrophic 2020 draft and a reasonably good 2021 draft (a guard, a WR2, RB2, and a bunch of CBs that they apparently don’t think are even CB2 quality). We hold picks 4 and 10 in what is widely considered to be a weak first round, particularly at positions of our greatest need. Zero chance he’s picking Thibodeaux (assuming he falls), and it’s unlikely he burns a top ten on any of these receivers unless he thinks Garrett Wilson is Deebo Samuel. I understand the theory behind the “plan,” I just don’t see how it works within the time frame they need it to work. Without some Zach Wilson epiphany, it’s the road to nowhere, and Wilson hasn’t given anyone any reason to believe he’s any good. Again, what would your plan be?

We definitely need another WR, but I don't think either of those guys was realistic. Don’t you see it as a major problem that Joe Douglas has been here for three years and Robert Saleh was supposed to be this enigmatic player’s coach who would attract free agents and the Jets are still a place that high level free agents want no part of? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK some of the players that came here LITERALLY said they came here because of Saleh and the culture. From all accounts the Jets did not even really pursue any of the "high level" FAs you are talking about. People just want names not upgrades. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, it depends on what you mean by "high level free agent" - I think the Jets signed some solid football players this week. But I think expecting Davonte Adams to come here was just unrealistic. The Jets have to establish decency/stability before the cream of the crop is going to want to come play in New Jersey. Salvation comes from within. It really has nothing to do with Saleh. For me, drafting and developing a core of competitive young players that can earn a winning record is step 1. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
