When we played Jacksonville I remember thinking that Myles Jack looked washed. However he really had 0 help on that defense.

Williams PFF score was 80. Maye was 55. I think it's a little closer than that. But Williams is definitely better. 
But the biggest difference is that Williams is 25. Maye is 29 (and that's ignoring the Achilles injury). 

Maye was much better than 55 the prior year though, if I'm remembering correctly.

I'm struggling to get there on a cap allocation this large for a safety, regardless.

He definitely gives off an “old 26” type of vibe. Might have just been that he was the only piece on a bad team. Knowing the answer would require research and scouting, JD’s free agency track record isn’t great.

Also, two years ago PFF had him as the 15th best linebacker in the NFL. He moves around a lot, and shifted from the inside to the outside. I'm sure Salah can find the right spot for him.

Didn't Jack come out of college with a bone on bone thing in his knee? Or am I confusing him with someone else.

[DoubleDecker]

Go get Jack! 

[Chrebetfan80]

Dont be surprised if you see the Myles Jack signing here today.  Hearing a lot of talk

I think it was Jaylon Smith who the Cowboys picked in the second round with the knee problem but not 100% sure.......

[Asymmetrical]

Also Connor Hughes, who despite having the brain of a golden retriever is usually fairly well sourced, said on his podcast that the Jets seem to be lined up to take Icky or Thibs at 4. Icky's appeal is he's Douglas' dream player and Hughes says that the Jets feel the Thib issues aren't any sort of big deal.  FWIW

He tore up his knee in a meaningless bowl game his junior year, was never the same

Did he say how Ike would fit on the line? What position would he play?

He was picked up by the Giants late last year.......

yeah potential micro fracture surgery or something like that. think he's had injury to knee since being in NFL... worth a look if the knee checked out and the FO did homework on his play/physical ability

[ZachEY]

Myles Jack sounds a lot like the Shaq Lawson signing.  Cool name, high potential guy, ultimately disappointing.

different guy and different injury ... Smith had some nerve damage I believe. why he experienced "drop foot" for a while

They both fell to the 2nd rd for medical reasons.  Jack’s turned out to be not as serious as originally thought.

Blond golden or red golden? Blond are usually very smart. Red are a bit loopy but the sweetest dog you will have.

Yup. He was going to be a top 10 pick but for that.  Part of the reason we drafted the Tiny LBer instead. Jack fell to the 2nd round and played well early on getting that big contract but then fell off a cliff.  Don't know if it's the knee or complacency.

something to the effect of he's not sure how that would work, whether they deal Becton or have a 3 man competition and the loser is a swing tackle for the year. I think that part was more conjecture since he seems like the type of player Joe D goes gaga for. The Thibs part he said he asked around about.

He had pretty good season the year before this year. Maybe that urban meyer scheme played role in his poor year

This!!!  And with LaFleur showing a lot of creativity I could see him putting Patterson in the backfield, the slot,

out wide and even as a detached TE.  Eleven combined TD's is nothing to sneeze at

True. 

however foolish is he who tries to replicate an outlier season in another location.

All would depend on contract.  If you can get him for a reasonable contract with low guarantees, give him a chance to make the roster.  If someone is willing to pay big bucks with some pretty good guarantees, let him go eslewhere.

That feels like a “we’ll give you some good names for free agency and then completely misdirect you for the draft”. Unless they have a Becton trade lined up or Thibodeaux absolutely blew them away repeatedly in interviews and they got awesome feedback on him from Oregon.

Yeah, both of those names were a little surprising. I don't get the sense that they're ready to dump Becton yet.

KT flat out thinks jets are drafting him. He says they want him and said interviews have been Great and he wants to be here guess we will see how it plays out.

Where’d you see that?

[David Harris]

Salah was a big Becton booster early on.  The Jets were miffed at his lack of commitment but know what his upside is.  They sent a message and I don't see them moving on from him until they see if he responds well this season. 

[varjet]

The Jets can try and pit together a mixed bag of some tier 2/3 players or make one more big signing.  I am not seeing the cap space for more than 1 of Robinson, Williams or Gilmore.

I’d be shocked if they took Thibodeaux. Profiles as the definition of a high maintenance player.

I agree and after dealing with becton and mims i would think they wouldn’t invest a premium pick in another dramaesque player.
