This is pre-draft speculation. Why the bump?  The trade didn't happen.  There is nothing to see here.......

Agree.  The Jets don't have a legitimate starting alternative.  This team is built to start winning now and if JD had any intention of trading MB there would be another legit starting T on the roster.

Here is a name - Ot Daryl Williams played much better at tackle than he did at guard for the Bills.     He still out here.          Teams have investments through the draft that they would like to see win those jobs  first .   Rather that guy play one position( need) than have to play another position due to his draft capital that you might be already strong at.   Case in point.     Raiders.     Raiders invested a first round pick in A Leatherwood in 2021 to play Rt.   Wasn’t ready To play and was replaced after three games at Rt .    J Eluemunor  a veteran was forced to the bench because Leatherwood had to play somewhere - lg.   Leatherwood has potential to be pro bowl guard but It will be better/ ideal   if he could hold down Rt .( biggest question on the offense line).

The former Patriot offense line coach can think he can coach up Leatherwood for Rt , or Jermaine Eluemunor played Rt for the them would be okay going with him if they have to.     That’s all good in theory but training camp gets here  and the Ots have to line up against Max Crosby , Chandler Jones , and Malcolm Koonce - 2 sacks in very small sample ( 17 in total pass rush opportunities)  in trying camp every day  .   It all gets real very quickly.

Sure that’s when you might have to adjust your plans and go get that veteran Ot innFa, or through a trade.     When have Wr  D Adams , Te D Waller , Wr Hunter Renfrow  it’s going to be living hell for any defense to stop that group .     Someone going to eat .

Should haves picked up Morgan Moses. 

No .   Raiders went from the most expensive offense line with a lot of experience,  to one of the youngest inexperienced offense line in one year .    Let’s see they Had Rt T Brown Rg G Jackson C R Hudson LG R Incognito and K Miller .  ( that group played 5 downs together previous year why they went younger . 
The Raiders were suppose to start two veteran olineman Denzel Good, and R Incognito at guard .     To break in Center Andre James ( no starting experience ) and rookie Rt Alex Leatherwood . 
Those plans were thrown a monkey wrench when R Incognito got hurt in preseason game and missed the whole season , and D Good got hurt the first game and missed the whole season.Now you were forced to go with four inexperience players on the offense line .  J Simpson at Lg, and Leatherwood at guard .    B Parker like Fant is garbage at Rt but plays a lot better at Lt.    Raiders have very good Lt . 
Raiders offense line went through some growing pains early but the offense line pick it up considerable down the stretch.( every game was a playoff game) .      

The only Raiders offense lineman on wrong side of thirty is D Good ( projected Starting Rg) whose 31 .     The whole rest of the offense line is all young .( no one even close)     It takes time to build cohesiveness on the offense line , and the more this group plays together the better they will get.       Raiders brought in Patriots respected offense line coach, and he confident in his ability to coach these players up.      They have a lot young talent on the offense line that bodes well for their future, now getting the five best guys on the field.

My preference is to keep Becton.  Play him a year at RT and revisit things then.

The Raiders, in particular are a crap trade partner.  They have no 1st or 2nd round picks this year.  I can't see them parting with their 2023 first round pick and even if they would, it hurts us this year as we'd have to use 4 on an LT just to tread water.

And can you imagine how much better he will get from the day before we trade him to the day after?  If not, have no fear, Raideraholic will fill you in with charts.

If Becton is hurt by week 3 which is a very likely scenario getting a 3rd look like a steal

The Raider Wire is circulating an article stating that they are looking to swing a deal for Mekhii Becton. No specifics on what the Silver and Black crew are offering. There is a second story from the Draft Network says that Bechton could be moved to Indy, Chicago or Seattle. Seeing as these are unrelated sources it looks good that Douglas is shopping Mekhi around.

These reporters must read this forum.

Just how many long paragraphs/essays are you going to devote to the Raiders on a Jets board this offseason?  Just curious.

I like how he says the Raiders were forced to start Leatherwood at G because of injuries.  It doesn't really explain why he didn't stick at RT.  Hint, it's cause he played like sh*t.  To be fair, like everyone else, I was surprised they took Leatherwood that early and felt he was a reach, but I did not expect him to suck that hard.  Good chance he turns things around a bit this year.

If the Raiders go anywhere this year, it will be as a result of Carr being reunited with Adams, and staying healthy. The problem is that they will compete for a playoff spot with Denver, Kansas City and the Chargers. Another issue will be - as it is with any team - settling into a new coaching staff and system: the first year ALWAYS takes some time to work out the kinks. Their schedule isn't easy: Chargers, Cardinals, Titans, Broncos and Chiefs to start it off, and the only deadbeats they play are the Jags, Texans and the Cheats (can't resist.)

No I said due to his draft status as a number 1 pick he had to play somewhere .   After first three games at Rt , he had to play somewhere on the line - Rg became his position.   A Leatherwood didn’t play well at Rt his rookie year , no excuses.   Big deal neither did Kolton Miller who has developed into one of the better Lt in the games .      Again playing Rt with more experience  right guard ( Denzel Good) next to him can only help  him, than him playing next to another inexperience player.

The point is Raiders offense line is going to be light years better this year , and it didn’t matter last year as they won all the games they had to as each game was a playoff game down the stretch.   Did enough to get the job done.  Immortal words of mr Davis just win baby.      Now just try to get to October playing meaningful games - Jet fans .    J E T S - just end the season .

Every game  last year down the stretch was a playoff game( must win). You don’t win those games if the offense line  didn’t start to  play much better.    (Was one of the youngest offense lines in football last year )   Raiders have only one question mark is at Rt .    They are going to give Alex Leatherwood every chance to win Rt - probably won’t .   He probably not a Rt but will eventually be pro bowl guard .           Leatherwood probably starts on he bench - first guard backup .     J Eluemunor I expect to be starting Rt when season starts . He started at Rt for this coaching staff already .    He’s a lot better player than who the Raiders started last year ( B Parker - out for the season)     The thing is they will give the Rt help with Te and the Rb.     Carr gets rid of the football real quick.     The interior of offense line is fine as they have a lot of quality depth.   Parham ( their third rounder ) will backup center and guard too.     With leatherwood and Parham even if they lost a guard or center these guys easily slide into starting lineup .    K Miller is one of the top Lt in the league .      Eluemunor ideally you would like to be swing tackle , than starting( still 20 times better than B Parker who started 13 games last year. .       Munford will be swing tackle .   
Right now just need another Dt that can rush the Qb.   That’s the biggest need right now.      Other than that this team is loaded on offense and defense .     Chandler Jones and M  Crosby coming off the edge( m Koonce the third pass rusher)  .  This might be the best defensive personal Graham Dc has to work with.   Have so many many to man cbs ( N Hobbs , Roc Ya-sin , A Averett , T Mullen( wouldn’t be surprised they traded him for simple reason Ya sin , Averett , Phillips , and Mullen are all on  one year deals - at best probably can keep 2 out of 4. )  , d Phillips- nickel back  , A Robertson .     Have a lot of cover Lbs ( j Brown- strictly third down - replace D Perryman the run stuffer ) and Devine Deablo - has Kam Chandler ability .   Fs T Moehrig can do it all .  Ss j Abram will just play the run downs only.   D Huron or Nate Hobbs who will play everywhere . Outside, Slot and even at safety  will be the other safety on passing downs.     P Graham will show a Qb so many different looks., and this defense matches up quite well against big time passing offenses.

Dude. Why are you here? Seriously. Your time can be much better spent learning even a basic command of the English language. Learn to write, or just stop. Better yet, learn to write and still just stop.
