They actually have tight ends, the O line should he better, and hopefully the team doesn't fet decimated by injuries. That being said, you have to add another WR in the 1st 3 rounds, ideally the first 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantasy Island Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 5 hours ago, bitonti said: Plaxico Burress is a good comp. London Maybe a little faster than plax and a little shorter but both players make a living bodying out cornerbacks and catching garbage balls. Rebounders who can win the jump ball or end zone fades. He can also block better than Burks and Wilson, which matters to the jets I get that 4 is high but in this draft with no quarterbacks in the top 15 it is what it is. And the wide out market also plays a role. The jets cannot buy a wr 1 they have to draft him He’s good at catching garbage balls? Draft him at 4 then because we got stinking heaps for him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles Movement Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 6 hours ago, bitonti said: How did everyone know that the Jets were going to pick Zach wilson? I don't have 100 percent certainty but Google "drake london Jets" and connect the dots. Everyone has this projection. Everyone. It makes sense from the system perspective, from the ZW needs a security blanket perspective etc. It even makes sense from a roster build perspective because they did not ever sign that Allen Robinson type everyone wanted. They don't have the luxury of taking a jauan Jennings in Rd 7 and developing him. They have to draft more offense right now and drake london is a bad ball specialist like plexico or Keyshawn. I agree they need a wr and that one should be picked at 4 or 10. But i think Wilson is more pro ready and explosive, almost impossible to cover. So why London over him? He is bigger but slower, kind of like a small TE Guess we will see what happens. Thanks for the explanation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the explanation I dont know them well at all, maybe the thinking is bigger guy, helps in the run game, can win 50/50 balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjasi Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I've been saying for weeks that we should consider drafting our favorite WR at 4. There will be viable edges at 10, but if Atlanta takes our favorite WR at 8, that will really, really suck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Wilson will get the separation in this offense. What WCOs have guys like London? Wilson has been compared to Devonte Adams in terms of skills and attributes. He will not make it to 10. Does he get picked at 5 or 6? I don’t know. But the Jets are not getting a decent FA WR for under $20mm/year. They need to lock one in for $8mm x 4 years. An improvement at EDGE will be there at 10.

I don't really agree with this. I would be fine going all defense in round 1. We just got Zack 2 pass catching TE's so we did get him receivers already.

Davis, Moore and Berrios. after that its Mims. one injury and were screwed. and since were the Jets someone will get hurt maybe more then one. i agree we need defense and we can use the rest of the top 4 picks on them. but unless JD signs a good WR we cant go into the draft with Mims as our 4th one.

IMO, this is not a great WR draft, certainly not like last season. I don't think London or Wilson will equal the talent of Smith, Waddle, or Chase. We certainly will be looking to add a 4th and 5th WR through FA as I don’t expect Mims to make it through camp but Zach having these two TE's give hima solid middle of the field option that he didn't have last season. They should be his security blanket. In FF, when a team drafts a rookie QB that you are pretty sure will start, it is a good idea to pickup that teams TE because they normally will see a large volume of passes. We didn’t really have that for Zach because except for Kroft, we had no pass catching TE's, more so we had TE who could catch a ball. Now Zach has two real weapons and we can run two TE sets which will give us more formations which will also help. I think our passing game has improved enough that we can look to other areas to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origen Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Still have Yeboah and brought Cager back as a TE now too so that room has filled up again reasonably. I would still draft one late, but we can survive with this crew. We need to get Edge and WR. Period. LB later, DL, OL sure. But Edge and WR and the things that we NEED for 2022 to be successful. I also wouldn't mind an RB late to maybe hit on a lottery pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
