You’re going to shower love on Becton all the way up until 9:30 tonight when they trade him.

And I suspect if we trade him and he starts playing at a high level for a few years you're going to kill Douglas for moving him.   I actualy would be okay with trading him but they better get high value for him.  

[Rangers9]

The deal with Bechton is he’s 400 lbs. We know he’s an athlete but can anyone be healthy at that weight. And is he willing to work with medical staff to go down to a reasonable and workable weight for his body size. 

[rtnelson]

Ive got a feeling this isnt going to go anything like the overwhelming majority of people think here.  Including myself.  But to throw my prediction out there...

Ikey at 4, Lloyd at 10, Peirce and Edge in the 2nd.

I just think OL depth is key as is securing the front for the future.  We saw last year as things began to break down and it sucks.  I think Lloyd is a star and it would be a mistake to pass on him.

If I am JD and the Jets and getting ready to draft, I have a number written on a post-note next to my phone:  Becton’s weight this morning.  Hopefully he has that number, or that number within the last week.  

Becton has had 4 months since season end to get his act together.    He should be at his target weight, which I would think is 360 or less.  If he is overweight, JD should definitely pick an OT if it is a toss up, or an OT anyway.   If Conor McDermott and Chuma Edoga start more than 4 games, Wilson will look terrible and JD will be looking for work next year.

Agreed but if he's in shape and committed he has more upside and has put more good tape on film than any of the prospects coming out tonight.   The Jets coaching staff last year didn't exactly make anyone beleive they can develop players.  There are actual NFL coaches who believe they can, Shanahan being one of them.  

Yeah, when I say “system,” I don’t just mean the scheme on the field—I also mean the types of guys that they want to coach. Saleh and Shanahan are close personal friends. Do we think Saleh is gonna give Becton a letter of recommendation on his way out the door? Besides, the Niners have Trent Williams and Mike McGlinchey at tackle. They just drafted a guard in round two last year. They don’t even need Becton.

I’ll feel the same way I felt about the Jamal Adams trade: it wasn’t going to work for him here, so may as well show him the door. I think the Jets think that way too.

Over and over the people that want so badly to criticize London do so in the most complimentary ways. 

We have the "here he is looking slow on a 43-yard reception" and now the "he's just like the 2x All Pro in his first 5 seasons guy".

It almost makes me want him more.

If Zach Wilson was Drew Brees, I’d agree with you. I don’t think they’re drafting receiver anyway. They need a sure thing.

4. Hutch > Sauce > Ickey

I’ve wanted Thibs all along but I’m getting mega diva vibes. Watch this from ESPN yesterday. Hopefully we land Hutchinson.
 

Kiper has him falling out of the top ten FWIW.

Actually, I see nothing wrong with this video. He comes across to me as intelligent, thoughtful and likeable. That, said, I still prefer Hutchinson or Johnson, but I wouldn't hate the idea of drafting him.

Same, except I like London as a possibility at #10

[nycdan]

That feeling when Hutch goes #1 and Thibs goes #2 and you realize you were gulping down all the pre-draft bullcrap over the last week for nothing....

Priceless.

Like the trade, but we have to add an OT somewhere.

Agreed - I'd just put that off to after the first two rounds. If we need a more experienced backup in addition, I am certain there will be cuts from other clubs after the draft and before/during camp as other rosters reshuffle. I just see addressing positions that obviously need new starters need to come before (desirable) depth.

I can’t wait to find out why we hate our new players!   ?

I'm brainstorming already!

1. Didn't smile enough when he was picked.

2. Smiled too much when he was picked.

3. Hugged Goodell a little too tight.

4. Saw him putting ketchup on his steak dinner.

5. His moms is ugly.

6. His sister is ugly.

7. He looks too pretty.

8. Saw a boogie board in the background.

9. There was too much competition on his college team.

10. There wasn't enough competition on his college team.

11. [insert school name] only produces busts.

12. Has a weird way of walking like my aunt.

13. He tested poorly.

14. He didn't test at all.

15. He tested too much.

16. I don't like him.

17. I don't like myself.

18. I don't like JD.

19. Saleh sucks and will ruin him.

20. The Jets suck and will ruin him.

21. He doesn't deserve the Jets.

22. Bill Belichick liked him; an obvious trap!

23. This is a bad pick, because Mike Maccagnan somehow.

24. He's too good to have fallen to us; must be something wrong with him.

25. We took him too early.

26. We took him too late.

27. My fries are cold.

28. My beer is flat.

29. He thinks the Earth is flat.

30. HE DOESN'T THINK THE EARTH IS FLAT!

31. I'm miserable.

 

That's all I have so far.

Has this already been posted, not sure how accurate it is or how much stock to put in it, but it seems interesting

I think we end up with Ekwonu and Deebo, and Becton gets moved for a two, which we use to move back into the first for Karlaftis.

I could live with that.

I hope everyone is mentally prepared for JJII over Thibs at 4.

Gotta love draft morning.  Based on info from the Jets either Gardner is ranked than Stingley.  Or the other way around.  Got it.

This is a Draft even Maccagnan couldn’t fook up. So I’m waiting to see how we can.
