Popular Post THE BARON Posted April 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2022 I wanted Ickey or Sauce @ 4 and I got it. I wanted a WR # 10, and I got the one I wanted. I understood they needed an edge rusher, but figured they would not be able to get that taken care of considering I was sure that JD would go SAUCE/ICKEY at 4 and WR at 10. I woke up this morning to see that JD also managed to get JJ in the first round without giving up too much. On paper, this may very well be the best Jets 1st round I have ever seen from the Jets or most any other team in a long time. I also was on record saying that I felt Thibs was a potential bust. The Jets passed and the Giants didnt. Let's see who was right and who was wrong about that. NOW... Let's take stock of who is praising JD right now. Count me in. If these prospects don't work out on the field as well as we hope they will, we need to be fired along with JD. We wanted it, we got it. 3 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slats Posted April 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2022 I wanted Ekwonu gone in the first three picks, but was absolutely thrilled when JD demonstrated that he did not need to be saved from himself as I feared. Then when the three OTs went between 5-9, I was psyched. Then he traded back up and didn’t take an OL again! Oh my gosh, it was beautiful. 16 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 We all want the Jets to win. Who cares about who was right or wrong. It does not matter. They absolutely slayed it last night and still have 2 picks today, one of which should also be an impact starter based on who should be available. Hell, even Kevin and was f-ing happy about last night. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jetsfan80 Posted April 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2022 I’ve been pro-JD from the moment he was hired by Adam Gase. He may well have whiffed on Zach Wilson, Becton and Mims but his process has been solid. GFY’s haters. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was the first time in a while where I didn't internally panic every time the Jets were up to pick dreading a horrendous reach or taking positions that don't make sense from a roster building standpoint. They know what they're doing. They know what fits their system and they're doing it with high-floor players and high football character guys. Also it's nice to not feel gas-lit the whole time. The previous GMs were absolute morons for not understanding how to address needs that the board has been screaming about for years. First WR taken in the first round since Santana Moss? Like wtf is that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we picked him in the mid twenties and I honestly loved that pick as much as the first two picks. Pretty cool honestly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely relaxed a lot after that pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Salleh will get better with time. He wants to be a complete HC rather than just a guy that runs the offense or defense. He had a lot on his plate for a first year coach. He looked very much to be a smart, stable guy through it all. I'm not too sure about Wilson, though. That is the big mystery for me. With the new WR, two new TE's and another year under his belt, Wilson needs to show progress. By game three we need to see clearly that he can play the position. He does not have to be a star, but he's got to be solid. If you dont see it by game three, we probably never will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I love the Sauce pick, I am OK with Wilson (prefered Burks for his size) and I think the JJ pick was a great value. If they live up to the hype, JD is a God Send. I will say he seems to do what is right for the team. Took the best player with one pick, took a player to help his QB with the second, and got a player that helps his HC with what he wants on D with a third. If we get Hall, There will be no more excuses for the O. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why eventually I think he will succeed. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTJet Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Last night went really well. Still not a JD supporter. Period. You win on the field, not on draft day.

GreenReaper Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 What is the alternative if JD fails? Putting the search back into the brainless-clueless Johnsons again? Oh Gods 'O Canton...don't be that cruel and keep punishing us tortured Jets fans with that again! JD...in comparison to what Jets had as the visionary GMs the previous decade...was a breath of fresh air. If...JD looks like a duck...waddles like a duck...quacks like one too...then for me he's a legit GM for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place also puts way too much emphasis on the OL. There are good OTs still available in free agency if they want some depth, but I didn’t think Joe Douglas was gonna be in a rush to dump his first ever draft pick. The players he took all move the needle much further than swapping Becton for Ekwonu. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that has really won me over is his willingness to move all around the board...initially I thought he was just a PFF stooge who just liked to trade down and collect picks....I like that he trusts his scouts and scouting and goes after guys they identify.

Also like how douglas didn’t grossly overpay in either draft capital or salary to acquire deebo, and simply took his favorite wr who is younger and cheaper. I go back to what saleh said at the combine about edge rushers, he said there’s a lot of good ones but not a chase young. That comment said a lot about the jets draft philosophy, they did not feel compelled to get an edge right away and it allowed them to address 2 other severe positions of need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
