He seems like a worthy late 1st rounder: Get taken by a contending team who can afford a luxury pick and you get that 5th year option to boot. I dont think so. At least, there is no precedent set that this would happen. Just 2 years ago, I would say it was a similar TE class. Cole Kmet was the 1st off the board at 43. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked - guys only get scored on the traits they do the testing for. Becht never ran a 40. Great jumps, agility drills, and he was big. It's one of the things with RAS that has led to other guys getting high scores when they duck the drills they won't perform well in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Voice of Reason Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Don't think great athletes go under the radar anymore. Milton Williams and Jacob Harris are a couple guys from last year who rose up draft boards mostly off of athletic potential than tape. Jonathan Marshall probably doesn't get drafted if he didn't test well last year, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetBlue Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 10 hours ago, Gramsci said: He is an intriguing prospect. But isn't the question of people not knowing if he can actually run NFL routes - considering how Virginia Tech's offense was structured - a massive red flag for a franchise that needs immediate quality contributors? I don't think the Jets can afford the luxury of a gamble in the position that we are in now. Once we signed Uzomah and Conklin we were not taking another TE until probably the 4th or 5th round. He is no gamble or luxury in those rounds at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think him saying "Tight end is the most dependent on raw athleticism of any position" is incredibly similar to what I said. Even then, saying that TE has the biggest correlation between lack of athleticism and failure accomplishes pretty much the same thing. If, unlike any other position, not 1 TE that tested poorly in recent times became successful; doesn't that mean there's a correlation between high athleticism and success because it's literally necessary to not fail in the first place?

I see it as an important distinction. If he said that there has never been a TE with > X.xx RAS who wasn't a very good NFL TE, it would mean more for Jalani Woods as a prospect. Instead, what he's saying means more for Jalen Wydermyer as a prospect and the likelihood of him being a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the correlation of TE success with athleticism is heavily based on the fact that it's so essential. The argument of it having the most athleticism based success kinda wins by default because of the floor. There's no such thing as an end all scouting method, but TE seems to be the position that is most based around pure athleticism. I do think what's so striking about Woods isn't just that his score was really high, but best of all time high. The best TE's tend to be these physical freaks, and he's been tested as that so far.

TuscanyTile2 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Aside from the physical attributes, I'd love to have a #0 on the Jets. Can't remember one ever being on the team. Not sure it's even allowed anymore. Kenny Burrough (who was the final person to wear #00) recently passed away. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/02/24/former-oilers-wideout-ken-burrough-dies-at-73/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a really nice stash to groom behind Uzomah and Conklin. If he's a R1 or R2 guy we probably have to let him go. Ya, it was more to due with him being hyped as TE1. Which doesn't really mean much in this class to be honest, they are all a bit meh from what i've seen and been reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no Pitts but a lot of high end prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
