BurntDice Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 11 minutes ago, football guy said: Neither Bawden or Wesco have guaranteed deals. Conklin will essentially play the Wesco role and provide better blocking/receiving ability. The draft will likely dictate who makes the final roster, but the chances are we will only carry 4 TE+HB/FB total. This year, expect both Uzomah and Conklin to play a lot in "featured" roles, with Uzomah at the F-TE and Conklin at the Y-TE. They will likely also draft 1-2 TEs, which would mean a very aggressive competition for those final 2 roster spots in camp. If he fits the role well then sign me up! Haven’t watched much of him. I liked bawden, but he’s not some fantastic player or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked bawden, but he’s not some fantastic player or anything I think this is a very exciting signing. Would bet that he lasts here longer than Uzomah because his role is well defined, they know how they want to use him, and I don't think anyone in the draft will threaten his snaps. We'll probably draft a guy in the 3rd/4th round who will replace Uzomah in 2 years, but Conklin likely has a role here long-term. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to what your GM is telling you. You should be thanking Joe Douglas right now. We finally have a GM who isn’t going to spend valuable high round picks on a TE. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming it’ll be similar to uzomah, where he is basically locked in for two seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untouchable Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 So the Jets are paying an average of $15 million a year to their Top 2 TE’s on the roster but we’re still addressing the position in the Top 40…yeah, sure we are… You fellas looking for a bridge to own? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it less likely but not out of the question. There is room on most teams for 3 tight ends if they can also help out on special teams/block. So while trading up in the end of the 1st for Mcbride is 100pct off the table. If the Jets LOVE him and he falls to them in the 2nd, I could see them still taking him or another prospect later in the draft. The Steelers had Ebron and were developing Gentry and still took Freirmuth last year. A lot depends on these contracts and if we can get out of their contracts after 1 year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think we’re going TE before the 4th or 5th round, if at all, then you’re taking crazy pills. This time I agree, I can't see TE on the first 2 days now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Keller was the last Jet TE to catch 60+ back in 2011. The best is yet to come! On top of that, last year was his best season, so he may be a late bloomer. Jets could have gotten a steal here. I really like this signing, Reed and Tomlinson. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jets Voice of Reason Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 Really pumped about how FA is shaping up. The Jets want to run a lot of 12 personnel but had to adapt because they didn't have the receiving threat TEs to run it to its potential. It's clear that that the coaching staff has done an excellent job self scouting, that the pro scouting department put in WORK this offseason, and that JD's staff generally is trying to set up the coaching staff with players they want that fit a modern, successful offensive system. Kudos to them. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 11 minutes ago, Jets723 said: I also think Joe would rather draft another WR on a rookie deal. At 10 we would have the pick of the litter most likely. Hell even at 35 you could get a good one I think I don’t think you’re getting any certainty of WR production with any WR in this draft. But if you’re mostly running 2 WR packages then if the WR is worse than Davis you can let him develop and if he’s better then he takes those snaps. Both reasonable possibilities, but you’re not forcing a rookie WR on to the field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Ghost Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 We get a WR at #10 and the pressure is really going to be on Wilson to produce this year. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we have a damn good offensive group here now. Our QB has to step up now. He has the pieces around him. I only wish we had a guy like Minshew around in case he doesn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jetstream23 Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 Late to the party here. Haven’t read the whole thread. Initial reaction is great signing! Did Rappaport really say the Jets “are doing quality work”? Has @Joe W. Namath reported this to the Fire Joe Douglas thread? ? Did the Jets pretty much just do to the Bengals what the Patriots did to everyone last year, signing 2 quality TEs? Bengals lost CJ and then missed out on Conklin? JD is taking care of business. Put himself in position to do this with his moves the past 2 years. The plan is obvious now, this is the year he’s reloading. Jets are getting more holes filled than Jenna Jameson. It’s beautiful. 2 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
