Barry McCockinner Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Wouldn't hurt my feelings - that dude is different - but we do need to figure out a way to add talent at WR and we must get at least 1 TE from this class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 8 more 1st round picks on Defense, and we'll have a SUPER UNIT! I mean the offense only needs a WR. And that doesn’t mean we need to spend pick 10 on it. They can still sign one or trade for one. Meanwhile this draft is loaded with top tier defensive talent. Might as well stack up as many of these guys as we can get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PepPep Posted March 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2022 I did a simulation and this is what I got with my first 4 picks. No trades. For the record- I think we can move down from 10 and still get Davis if we were targeting him. I think we can still get a nice LB prospect in Rd. 3 and address other needs later on so this is really not bad. We get McBride (a fan favorite) and Watson- a very solid WR prospect who is almost certain to slide to Rd. 2. 4. Kayvon Thibodeaux- Edge 10. Jordan Davis- DT 35. Trey McBride- TE 38.

The mantra I don't believe in, at all, is "Defense Wins Championships". To be clear, I won't in any way be surprised if Saleh and JD go DT, EDGE, LB, CB in those first four picks, or some variation on that theme. Little the Jets do, especially involving drafting defense, surprises me these days, lol. I'd perhaps push back on it being interesting, fielding yet another young-QB led, talent deficient Offense cruising to a late 20's finish in the O rankings, whilst losing by 3 or 7 every week with a middle-ranked Defense that falls short when it matters.....isn't what I'd call interesting. Seen that movie more than once here in NY. With that said, we have alot of folks here who seem to think the best WR's, like Mims, all come later, so sure, draft a WR in the third, or fourth even, 15th best prospect, maybe 20th best, why not. It worked once somewhere, so surely it'll work for us, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 So we use two top 10 picks on one player. One run stuffer that you take out on 3rd down and one edge guy that you bring in on 3rd down.

As a fan, with no REAL insider information, I have no idea what KT's personality is off the field. It's the job of Jets scouts and GM to do their due diligence to figure that out. I DO know he is the most talented pass rusher in this draft class, and if he is there at 4, based on his abilities on the field and upside, I am not passing on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungaman Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I might, after this FA period and seeing what JD added, think the draft might fall out as Edge/DL at #4 and #10, then WR/TE in round two. I'd really like to supplement that strategy with a trade back from four into the teens - same priorities - then add another WR or even a RB with whatever extra pick is acquired in such a swap. If the pick added would be higher next year, I'd still make that trade, and double up on WR in round three if that's where there is value. Let's hope there's a team enamored with somebody we don't fancy when we hit the clock for #4. I would not be surprised to see JD try to add talent by trade after teams start contemplating their cuts after the draft to get down their cap and trim rosters, and there's also a spate of bodies coming free after camp has started. You know they've got all sorts of data on who is at risk of getting cut due to cap constraints, and the intentions of all teams will be further clarified once everyone's draft choices have been made. IMHO it's premature to judge the offseason until after the last cuts before the opener are made: lots of strange stuff can happen on other squads between now and then. There's always that stretch between mini-camp and training camp where players just can't contain themselves, and go out and get into fights, commit felonies, drive drunk, beat their spouses, etc. - all which might present opportunities for JD to extort other clubs. Of course, none of our players will get into trouble ... ? because we are picking model citizens now ... ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PepPep Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 10 minutes ago, Jetpain said: Switch Travon Walker for Kayvon Nope. Thib over Walker IMO. Listen, if the rumors about Thib. having bad work ethic are true and he ends up being a bust, sure i'll eat my words. But right now, its all just rumors. I have absolutely no reason to put Walker ahead of Thib. as a pass rusher. Thib is simply the better pass rush prospect. He is more explosive, he has more moves, he's better off the edge, he has the better resume, to me (even though they are different- KT has better tape to boot). Don't get me wrong, Walker is great. He blew up the combine and his stock soared. He played on a championship defense. He's versatile. An athletic freak. But Thib is just a better prospect and I'm not taking Walker or Thib. unless there are some real red flags I'm certain of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top receiver taken in the draft could very well go in the second round as have so many times in the past. If we go Thibs/DT or Sauce/Edge I could see us going WR/TE for the two second round picks. I would be fine with that. Maybe even move up a bit for the WR. Jets will not take a LB with a premium pick IMO - not valued as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandy Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The bottom line is this regime lives, dies, or thrives by Zach Wilson. Giving him Davis, Moore, and Berrios as the top 3 receiving options most likely wont cut it, especially if everyone gets the injury bug like last year. With our needs, and the way the current NFL market looks it's essential that we get a top flight receiver if possible. Our D-line may have some holes, but taking a swing at getting your highly touted QB prospect heading into a crucial season a #1 receiver will always take priority over a DT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
