Otherwise, I’ve read we’re interested in Icky, Criss and now Penning. Are you saying we are going after Criss and Cross?! Damnn In all honesty, I do believe the Jets will go after an OT, but wait until top of round 2 where they will get a LB as well. Edge + WR makes too much sense in round 1. Obviously trades can change everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve followed free agency closely and didn’t see any meaningful or credible 2022 reports on this. Just BS conjecture. ZaDarius Smith was sitting there for the taking for a good number of days and wasn’t crazy crazy expensive. I’d love to see the reporting if you have. Listen, if we didn’t have the holes we have I think this strategy might make sense. But given our holes and the investment in Becton, I just don’t think it makes sense. JD has proven to be pretty logical to date so this would be a move that seems to be a poor use of draft capital and a very early acknowledgement of defeat in Becton. I mean the guy is still holding out hope for Perine, A Davis, the 3rd round Edge from Florida (his name escapes me), Mims, … Lastly, I still love your posts and think you are funny as sh*te! Graziano and Jeremy Fowler both reported that the Jets were in on Jensen. As for Smith, I now realize I admittedly read that bit from Pauline, which obviously doesn’t help me here. I would say that Pauline clearly has sources inside the Jets scouting community and has demonstrated that over the years. 42 minutes ago, Sperm Edwards said: The bold would have been before they picked up Tomlinson, though, no? Then again, they've also kept GVR on and re-signed backups McDermott & Feeney, so it'd be odd if the "soft" moniker is referring to any of those 3. Plus they also were allegedly making efforts to re-sign LDT, too, but it's possible he turned down the offer because it was only to be a backup (where they'd then cut GVR). Plus while he was needed far more than expected, Moses was merely fine (I'd have been ok bringing him back as a backup, but not as the starter again). I don't know that Moses is soft, though. More like he lacks the finesse & quickness to handle edge rushers, but he was a solid run blocker, and (like with LDT) it's doubtful they'd have wanted him back in a starting capacity so it's unsurprising if they were holding off making any offers unless he couldn't land a starting role. I'd prefer him at $5MM to McDermott at $2MM, though it may not have been that simple: these guys want to start. Referring to Becton as soft hardly needs elaborating after missing 16+ games last year (and the tapping out thing from before Saleh got here). However...while Fant took right to playing LT, in terms of not surrendering sacks, when it comes to run blocking I have this image of Fant trying to catch a butterfly on his finger. Despite his size, the last thing he is is a nasty/punishing run blocker. Much to the surprise - and/or dismay - of most here, I think in the event they do pick up a new tackle he's as likely to be the odd man out than Becton, who's also 7 years younger, locked up for longer, has far higher upside as an all-around performer, and for $5.5MM in new money for the next 2 seasons combined (vs. Fant's $28MM for the next 2 seasons, if he's tagged next year). It could be telling that Fant hasn't been extended yet (plus Fant's recent tweet - I forget the exact wording but iirc it was something like What's a brother gotta do? - might indicate he's aware he might not be in their future plans, or that they're not willing to commit to him longer term until after seeing what happens in the draft). Plus while he is coming off a career year, too many GMs fall into that trap of expecting an outlier season to become the new baseline going forward (not to mention he's been no ironman himself), and getting stuck with a contract they'd soon love to rescind. Saleh stated publicly Becton wasn't just going to get the LT job handed back to him. All of us (understandably) assumed that meant competition with Fant, and it probably did mean just that back when he said it, but it might still hold true coming up but with a different player competing with him for the starting LT job. I've no idea what Fant's trade value is, though. He does have this year at very cheap for a starting veteran LT, and then can be tagged next year (OTC estimates it'll be just under $18MM), without a commitment needed until after this season's over. He also turns just 30 this summer (not old for an OLman). My own strong preference is to leave this situation alone for the year so they can focus on other positions up top, plus just sign better veteran tackle depth than McDermott/Edoga, which is very much still out there, and draft a developmental OT in a mid-round pick. I still wouldn't be shocked with any of the 3 possibilities (drafting a rd 1 tackle and moving on from Fant; drafting a rd 1 tackle and moving on from Becton; not drafting a tackle until day 3 and sticking with Fant/Becton for this year). As always, this all makes absolute sense and is the logical, practical path forward, but this is the Jets we’re talking about, and the drafting of Becton was pre-Saleh and Saleh seems dead-on committed to filling the roster team-first grit guys, even if it means getting a less talented player at a spot. Kind of Mangini-esque in that way. As for Douglas’ stake in this, he gets to flip Becton for more picks (or a player?), and he also takes a win in finding Fant in free agency and getting him for three years relatively cheaply. If Saleh—hypothetically—doesn’t want Becton here, would Douglas tell him tough luck? RE: the Hughes comment on Tretter, I believe it was two episodes ago, so after the Tomlinson signing, but he was citing the Jets general preferences for the OL going into this off-season, so technically it could pre-date Tomlinson. It was more a reference as to why they’d keep McGovern over Tretter. 16 minutes ago, derp said: Ah I misinterpreted and thought you meant OT4 on the Jets. Four tackles in the top nine, you’d need two non Gardner/Hutchinson/Walker/Thibodeaux prospects to go in that group with them to get one of the guys we’re talking about at four to be there at ten. It’s not that weird. Couple QB’s, Hamilton, Stingley, Wilson. Or maybe they want Jordan Davis. Or to ensure one of the WR’s slips. There are a lot of potential avenues. The character can mesh all they want and the asset management component of it will still never make sense. They might have loved the punter’s character too but they’re not taking him at ten. For all of Douglas’ faults he hasn’t really done anything crazy or reckless, and all of his first round picks have walked into serious roles. Even the proposed Hill trade didn’t require giving up a first round pick. The tenth pick on a backup at a non premium position would be wild, and having a guy who played FCS football replace a guy who’s played tackle at the NFL level capably to protect a quarterback we know struggles with pressure would also be wild. Especially if you’re getting less in return for the known commodity. Theres maybe a we aren’t extending George Fant so Penning’s the LT of the future and we can get a first round pick from the Saints/Chargers for Becton so we’ll do that scenario but that’s requires several leaps and an insurance policy if Penning isn’t ready - keeping in mind that while some people appreciated Penning’s intensity at the Senior Bowl he lost reps - that they don’t have. It’s too complex of a scenario to play out IMO, and I think that fans are buying into it is indicative of why it’s a good smokescreen that maybe gets a team to bite. I don’t doubt he wants a tackle, I do doubt he does it at ten. But I’ve been wrong before and I’ll be wrong again. I guess also kind of to your point about why Williams is risky for Douglas because of the ACL, Penning at ten is the riskiest prospect in the draft for Douglas. You’ve got a bad team with a young quarterback and you’re either a) redshirting the tenth overall pick or b) giving up on the guy you took 11th overall two years ago to bank on a guy jumping from FCS football to the NFL to protect the guy you spent the second overall pick on last year enough that he looks well. There’s a Penning gets Wilson killed scenario that gets Douglas very fired that no other pick has - setting aside the chance Becton has a resurgence in his new home. Very different if not for the young QB or if Becton was expiring soon or if you’re getting a better asset for Becton than you’re spending on Penning, but none of those is the case. Personally, I think the big risk for Douglas is that Becton was on his best behavior in 2020, and the Becton they got last year was more in line with who Becton is, especially now that he’s rich. Prior to the injury, he was getting beat like a drum all through camp. Wasn’t the rap on him coming out that he’d be a poor fit in a zone blocking scheme? It could just be that Becton doesn’t work in this offense and Fant does. I would absolutely not draft Penning if Fant and Becton are on the roster the day of the draft, but if you can flip Becton for picks (or DK?), why not? I think they’re at the stage of this rebuild where they’re still purging guys who don’t fit and replacing them with players who will placate the coaching staff. IMO, getting Becton out of here while he still has value would be the right move. If he goes to Seattle and dominates, I don’t think anyone will care, assuming Penning is a viable right tackle and the return for Becton is solid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saleh just spent nine months watching Becton get fat and consciously avoid playing football for the New York Jets, all the while getting pestered by beat reporters over why Becton hasn’t been practicing. Do we think that Saleh was cool with that or what? This was Mike Garofolo back in January on the Becton situation: “Only played one game this year. Had that knee injury and was expected to miss a little more than a month and then just missed the rest of the season. It was kind of a mysterious deal. Here's my understanding in speaking to sources familiar with what happened here. He was having issues. Obviously the knee did not come along as quickly as they had hoped. And then what happened was, because he wasn't able to do the kind of things that he needed to do to get into rehab and get back in shape, he put on weight. Weight has been an issue with Becton. We knew that coming into the draft, we knew that coming into his NFL career. This is something where he's going to have to continue to rehab that knee, he's going to have to get back in shape. The Jets are hopeful that he will be back in shape, ready to go physically and mentally for the start of OTAs, but we'll see how that goes.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a legitimate left tackle, and after Penning comes off the board, the tackle class falls off to Tyler Smith and Bernhard Raimann. Someone with a late first would probably bite. if i was a opposing GM i would ask you if he is so legitimate then why dont YOU keep him? your trying to sell me on that he is a 1st rd talent. well then the 1st rd draft pick you get to replace him isnt much of an upgrade. so for you to replace him after 2 years, for you to use another 1st rd pick on LT instead of the gaping holes you got at WR and Edge tells me that you think Becton is a fat, lazy, injury prone SOB. im not giving up a #1 for that how about a 3rd and a hefty garbage bag full of apples? is that a HEFTY enough return for you? lol i cant wait for this draft to happen cause all these predictions that he uses another 1st rd pick on the OL are driving me crazy.

But it’s important to separate giving up on Becton - a possible domino - from spending the tenth overall pick on an FCS tackle to start at right tackle, a position you normally wouldn’t spend a top ten pick on, to protect a young g quarterback. Again, assuming Penning is a viable right tackle is a hefty assumption. I’d also argue you want more than a “viable” right tackle with the tenth overall pick, too, given it’s not really a premium position. And again the whole young QB jump from FCS thing is very significant.

I respectfully disagree. Your premise is relying on a guy who played FCS football being good enough in pass protection as a rookie at a position he didn’t play in college - it’s not always easy for guys to flip sides - to protect a young quarterback. I think you’re underrating the risk associated with penciling Penning in as a starting right tackle. I don’t know if it’s been clear through the posts, but I could absolutely see them giving up on Becton. But a pragmatic GM, which I think Douglas is for all his faults, does that to invest less in a right tackle, not more, and does it with a guy he knows can play at the professional level - or with a veteran quarterback playing behind him. Penning doesn’t not fit all of that, he fits none of it. I see it as monster gamble versus monster gamble. And if I’m playing monster gamble versus monster gamble, I’ll take the extra draft capital and the guy who we at least know can play at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s easier to see a scenario where the jets go edge/OL in round 1 and douglas has a trade in place for becton. And then wr in round 2. This defense is abysmal. They need to fix the defense. The OL is fine for now. There are good options at guard, center and tackle in round 3-4-5 to fortify the OL. JD needs to focus on Edge, LB, CB, S, DT. In other words, every defensive position. Sauce, Lloyd, Muma, McDuffie, Thibs, Walker, Cine, Pitre,. We have 4 picks in the top 38. JD needs to clamp down and get 4 of these guys. The only guy I’d go with at 35 or 38 on offense is Christian Watson WR. Defense defense defense. Or do you guys need to see the video replay against the Colts last year. ??♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 As long as Becton is on the right track we don't have the luxury or need to make this kinda pick. Unless we make a trade for a WR without costing a 1st rounder, those picks are needed for other things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berrios and Mims are our WR 3 and 4. i think 10 WRs will be gone by rd 2. WR is the 2nd most important position next to QB, not OL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade Becton for a 2nd and 3rd rd pick and call it a day. You had me in the first half. Penning would be a Fant replacement. As for this player, he's everything you want out of a tackle, physically, except for the penalties. He had 34 at UNI. Not all of them were personal fouls he's also prone to holding. To put this number into context, Ikey, Neal and cross all had under 10 penalties in their career. With the taunting rules in the NFL he could be a problem. I have him as a Solid Rd 1st grade, held back by penalty concerns certainly seahawks at 9 are in play. And the Jets could be too. Even though I see him as more of a mid to late Rd 1 rather than a top 10 player. It only takes one team to fall in love 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only takes one team to fall in love I guarantee you if the Jets draft Penning or another O-tackle in the 1st rd that it will not be for replacing Fant. Becton would be a goner. Interesting stat on the penalties, bit. That is extremely high. Penalties from your Olineman are drive killers. That's a terrible #. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
