BurntDice Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 35 minutes ago, UnknownJetFan said: Like you said if you are left with the value with 2 LT blue chip prospects we have to either trade with someone who wants one or take one ourselves. Now it would be great if one of the LTs are picked before 4. That would mean we either take whatever Edge rusher falls to us, Sauce, or trade down. You know the Giants want one of the LTs so maybe we trade one slot with you them. Who are the 2 LT blue chip players? I don’t see any. Cross seems like the best LT in the class and no one even mentions him around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 2 hours ago, slats said: 100%. Take a tackle in the fourth round. I’m down. This is a good year to do it, there’s a ton of athletic tackles who need development in the mid to late rounds. I think given the FA moves, taking two edges or WR is a good way to go because each individual player has a major flaw and taking two increases the chances we end up with a contributing player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough But I get the impression they want to run and dominate the LOS. Fant isn't a dominating run blocker. They might want an upgrade if they're presented with a good opportunity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only measure where the Jets' 2021 line was top 10 was injuries Is it the best unit on the team? Maybe. But it's still way below average 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doitny Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 1 hour ago, CTJetsFan said: Redskins were able to make the playoffs with Cousins at least once. I read the post that talked about playoff teams and where they drafted o-linemen. Again I ask: what is your view of our o-line if Becton doesn't revert to rookie form or continues to miss extended time? Oh yeah - we took 2 o--linemen in the same year in the same draft. Worked out you think Brick and Mangod worked out for us? we went to the playoffs 3 times in the 10 years they played together. i cant argue that if we didnt draft them we might have 1 or 2 SB wins. we could have drafted TE Vernon Davis (6). he would have helped our offense more than Brick. and Mangod should never have been drafted cause John Abraham should have never been traded. that guy was a beast at Edge who had some really good years after leaving here. and you could have got Tackles in the 2nd rd (Andrew Whitworth 4 PB) or in the 4th (Jahri Evans 6 PB) and a center the next year in rd 2 (Ryan Kalil 5 PB) i would draft a OT in rd 3 to back up Becton.

peekskill68 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 The OL, even with an iffy Becton, is FAR more talented at this stage that the DL. Yet people want to keep drafting OT at #4.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekwonwu is one of my favorite players in this draft, but the only way I take him is if Sauce and Thibs are gone. Have to get a pass rusher at some point in round 1.

Respect that but I think in terms of upgrading the team JD simply can't afford another 1st round talent on OL. He'll have to pay all these guys big money at the same time his QB is at the end of his rookie deal. Bad resource allocation IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Claw Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 3 hours ago, Bowles Movement said: We got Tomlinson but we did lose our starting right tackle and Fant is only signed thru this year. I dont think we need to take a tackle in the top 5 but I think one of the second rders should be considered for a tackle to back up the starters and groom to replace Fant. Tyler Smith at 35 is an interesting pick, a little high to go for an OT this draft, but I think they had him in for a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had top notch C and LT play for 10 years. That was by far the jets best draft in years and years. As for Abraham, excellent player ad yes would have been nice to keep him, he also got hurt a lot. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 8 hours ago, slats said: Kid looked dominant, most of the time, as a rookie. Like you, I have no idea what his injury was this past year. All I know is, if he comes back at his rookie level or better, the Jets OT position is in good shape. Really good OTs still available in free agency, too. It’s just no place to spend a high pick this year. I can’t see JD giving up on his first first round pick that quickly, and I don’t believe that he will. until they refuse to meet Fant's demands after the season. if JD takes Ickey at 4, then we know one, if not both of Becton and Fant, wont be back for 2023.

Anthony Jet Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 11 hours ago, CTJetsFan said: I hear ya but this year's draft board seems to point to OT being the value at #4. Sometimes you also have to look beyond this year's needs. If we can trade out of 4, great. But if we have to stay and 3 Edges go 1-3, what do you do? I don't think any WR is worth 4. I wish Becton had been healthy and lived up to his draft status, Would make the decision easier. Heck, the Redskins took 2 QBs in the same draft...and it actually worked out for them. His health and what the staff thinks of him are the biggest unknown going into this. Staff is not a fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just called, but see him hold a lot and not get called for it. Good point. it’s a touch risky taking him that high, but he would essentially be a developmental backup. I would think that the coaches could work on this with him. Otherwise maybe Petit-Frerer (sp?) in the third or fourth? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClashFan Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 To beat the drum again, I totally get not taking an OL in the first round. Edge is a huge need. But this is a very thin OL the Jets have right now, especially at OT. The Jets will need at least 3 guys who are starting quality OT, because Fant misses 2 games per year and Becton is a huge question mark who will almost certainly miss at least a few games. Edoga and McDermott are garbage 3rd stringers. There should be good value at OT in the 2nd round. I hope JD grabs one rather than wait for a mid round flyer like Mike Mac did three times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungaman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I think OL with the second 2nd rounder is fine - no earlier. Too many other needs. The OL played much better the second half of the season than the first half. They (and the rest of the offense) will benefit greatly from having the same system in place for the second year in a row. Patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience. Agree. And if they love Fant (which seems to be the consensus) they'll extend him. 2nd round might be early for OL. My bet is they are using the first 4 picks in some order of Edge, DL, WR and LB since they need to find Mosely's replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
