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

I only had Dotson as a 2nd rounder. And he was early 2nd round.

Your not got to make me fix that 

You did try.  I saw you edited your post ? 

[JazzyJet]

Give me Karlaftis next - we need to draft a real man after the lady receiver we picked up with the last pick.

That sweet, sweet cap space.

 

@Barry McCockinner

I don't care about cap space I'm not a big fan of paying players who just demanded trades for whatever they were upset about this week...usually not a good sign or works out.  Whats wrong with just building this team for another year?

[Integrity28]

So 19 picks made… 6WRs + 18 swapped for AJ Brown. Clearly an indication that WR had become a super-premium position, but people complaining?

If you were a good player would you come here? Exactly.

Willis here?

Thinking that too, or is this where Lloyd lands?

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.

Total bullsh*t. He's missed 6 games in his career. 

The Jets are the ones who advertised to the world their desire for a proven #1 guy with Ridley, Hill and Deebo. They clearly didn't believe Wilson was that great or they wouldn't have been whoring themselves out for alternatives as recent as yesterday. 

Zach Wilson is in a make or break year and we just passed up a chance to get a legitimately elite WR. Not one who might be, or could be, one that is. By the time GW fully develops Zach could be flaming out. 

I'm not surprised that a lot of our fans love this. This is a fanbase that largely loves Joe Douglas after all. 

[T0mShane]

A: One good Wilson

 

[Tony The Wiz]

If they go QB it has to be Pickett. He is my only first round QB.

We got 2 potentially really good players and don't have to pay them 25mil per but you be you.

I say Malik to Steelers

Nothing, I just wanted an excuse to loop in @Barry McCockinner regarding cap space.

I'm actually OK with what's transpired in the draft thus far.  Not super thrilled but not super pissed, either.

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. 

Jeez.  You and Fidelo. The voice of doom.  How about we let the draft play out and see these guys on the field before you rent a plane to fly a banner to get rid of JD?  Unreal.  Life is a real bummer for you guys.

By what measure is he better?

well they've both been in the league 3 years

brown has more receptions (185 vs 167), more yards (2,995 vs 2,598) and more receiving TDs (24 v 10) than samuel.  brown also has a higher yard/catch than samuel (16.2 vs 15.6).  samuel had a much better year last year and has the hybrid-player abilities.

so yeah, an argument can be made that over a 3 year sample size, brown has been the better WR than samuel

Fans complain about every.  We could have literally drafted Hutch if he somehow fell to 4 and there would be fans biting that The Giants got Thibs ?

I'm not low on the players we drafted.

It's the player we passed up that is unforgivable. 

[Tony The Wiz]

That was how I remember football. 

[JTJet]

Christ. 

Walk up. 

Announce the pick. 

Shut the **** up.

That makes sense.

And, as much as I wanted Deebo, I'm glad JD didn't make that trade.

I love how we were riding into this draft at like 50% optimism, these crazy leaks/rumors came out and ultimately didn't happen, and now we've somehow dropped below 0% optimism.

[Larz]

Wow !

I thought Willis

Where's @CTM when ya need him.  Probably inside yet another 19 year old.

 

At least @ZachEY and @Bleedin Green are still around.

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.

See thats the problem i had with Gardner. Carter was a pretty good slot guy last year. i dont think we should move him to teach Hall to play it. i think Hall goes to the dime or most likely traded.

18 swapped for AJ Brown *and 100 million dollar contract*

[derp]

This is the area of the draft Karlaftis and Johnson should’ve been all along. A move up for one of those guys would be great. Fall would be even better. If they can somehow land Linderbaum and Karlaftis/Johnson/Mafe/Ojabo with 35/38 possibly including a trade up for one of the edges I’ll be a happy camper.

Yeah really.
