People crying about JJ when wrs are flying off the board and teams are straight up trading there first rounders for other wrs currently in the league. This board dumb as hell.

People are asking about trading up for JJ lol.  If the rumors were true and they had him high on the board and it’s cheap to move up this year it’s a fair question.

Blaming anything you don't like on Woody is lazy...zero chance he is picking these players

Woody Johnson - Mr. Headline-craver - pushed for them to take a CB with the 4th pick in the country. OK sure, exactly that.

There is no reason to trade up. Really good players are falling bc of the WRs going early

Seriously...Dotson, Zion Johnson, Kenyon Green could all have been 2nd rounders.  That pushes  3 more guys down.

[xboxjets]

Wasn't there a report that one of the top edge guys had gang affiliations? Possibly JJ? 

[jetsons]

Penning ... good pick

[Larz]

Good pick

[65 Toss Power Trap]

WRs and OL

SF's ask was insane, especially when AJ Brown, arguably a better WR, went for significantly less

By what measure is he better?

The NFL is crazy anymore.  I wanted a big name WR just as bad as anyone.  It’s exciting to get big names.  It just is.  18 and a 3rd plus a huge contract is very very steep for a guy is not a top 5 player at the position.

And for all these clowns on here saying JD is incapable of executing big trades, there is such a possibility that our FO simply thought drafting Wilson at 10 beat trading picks and paying 100m to a slightly above average WR1.  We will have to wait and see obviously.

But I get it.  Children like big, shiny, new toys.

Willis inbound

That's a little dramatic.... but i would have 100x rather send #10 to TEN for Brown over Wilson

Agreed

Elijah Moore is his best friend lol. He would have signed.

Douglas is a disgrace. He let the entire league know, he let Garrett Wilson know we were desperate to trade for a proven #1. Then this happens right under our noses, arguably the best of them. AJ Brown is 24 years old.

It's a f*cking joke. We will be watching him tear it up in Philly for years. Meanwhile Douglas is out of here in January. 

AJ Brown has missed an average of 4-5 games a year.

The Jets just landed what many would consider the best CB and best WR in the draft while keeping all of their additional picks and cap flexibility…

I can usually see the downside viewpoint when draft time rolls around for the Jets…but I’m absolutely, unequivocally loving this…

This seems like the kind of draft that my ass would oversee as opposed to the Jets. Pretty mindblowing, really.

[undertow]

Thank God they didn't listen to the "wait until the second to take a WR" crowd we would have been left with Joey Bag O Donuts from Montana state.

[Jetsfan80]

Pennington to the Saints

I was wondering that as well.  Lots of folks assumed was KT but now it looks like it might have been someone else.

[Maynard13]

JD is a trend setter. He takes the first speedster and all he’ll breaks loose with WR’s flying off the board.

I like AJ, and he is 2 to 3" taller, but he is also almost .2 seconds slower - fast, quick, young, and cheap - the Jets have a lot of young speed and that is the new NFL, no?

That's what it seems to be, especially when you consider the rules favor WRs more these days and more often than not punish DBs for being too physical.

[Tony The Wiz]

Steelers should trade back. if they could get any takers. 

[nycdan]

Willis here?

He's missed 6 games in his career. An absolute iron man compared to Deebo Samuel.

One of the best in the game. Gone to the Eagles after Douglas spent the entire offseason chasing his tail going after these f*ckers. 

A huge miss. Accept it.

We just do not agree.  He missed 4 games last year. He missed 2 the year before and left 2 others early. He has chronic knee and ankle issues.  I am not sure the Jets will be upset they missed out on some of these veteran receivers.  Hill and Adams are too old for the Jets.  They have 2 years left as top receivers.  Brown is not that good and is injury prone.  SF wanted too much for Samuel. And Metcalf does not appear to be on the block.  So JD did what he should have. He drafted a receiver.  6 receivers are off the board in the first 18 picks. It is clear that WRs are flying off the board and teams want the young cheap (rookie deal) players at that position.

You're going to be so much fun when we trade up for JJ.

Steelers gonna take a QB

[Jetsfan80]

[Sarge4Tide]

Picked Trevor Penning to the Saints in the JetNation Mock draft (after trading back a couple of spots)

The WR run came a bit later in the JN Mock

Pats could snag JJ.  But I think they go McDuffie to reload at CB?

Reeder + Hall + Gardner

that's a penthouse letter folks

You forgot Carter as a really good dime back now too (unless he goes to safety). With numbers like that we've moved beyond penthouse to hustler type smut.
