So no more commercials for the rest of the draft! 

True for me, because I'm turning it off!

From the highlights Clemons looks stiff but super high effort and very violent.  I would have preferred Dominque Robinson as a developmental DE but Clemons seems nasty,

Man Robinson would've been a much more exciting pick.

This is on the NFL.com page about Clemons:

One bad pick after six stellar ones. Can't complain ... 

 

[jetsons]

Ravens... Jalyn Armour-Davis

[undertow]

We are in dart throw territory now never go full retard and get upset about the 4th round.

That's a serious departure from our profile...

[JustInFudge]

Surprised they doubled down on edge/DE, figured they'd go DT of they addressed DL.  This might have been a best player on the board scenario though.   Pretty good athlete and high production in the best conference/division in college Football.  11 sacks in his last 15 games is pretty dang good.

Also there were a ton of reports this offseason that we were more than happy with our current LB room, so not picking one isn't a surprise 

I'm not sure how much they love it so much as they're stuck with Mosley.

This draft is looking pretty barren after round 3. 

Idk I like Mitchell a lot. Can see him being a starter next year if fant or becton don’t work out 

[varjet]

the Jets obviously feel good about their LBs and S.     We move on.   At this point now the biggest factor in the Jets’ 2022 record is how many players are injured.  If they top that chart again, it will be a long season.

The level an anguish here over the James Morgan pick was really something.

Give it 3 months of sharing a locker room and meeting room with Jamaal Adams and listening to his constant self absorbing nature and he will wish he was the other Kobe Bryant

[Matt39]

4 of Clemens 7 sacks were against LSU. Not a huge fan of the pick.

Texas AM Team Captain and Defensive MVP this year - Maybe there might be some things you cannot measure.

[Irish Jet]

Armour-Davis to Baltimore. Their draft has been silly good.

I think the plan is for JFM to move inside, which mostly negates the need to draft a DT and drives the need for one more outside rusher.

[DetroitRed]

Looks like Jonathan Marshall is making this team

I wasn’t criticizing JD’s picks. Just a note on the caliber of players on the board. I’m happy he used his late picks to move up and get his guys. 

[jetsons]

Trade...

Jaguars on the board... Brandon Smith

I was looking for the Jets to take him.

[NYJCAP2]

Both 4th rounders sound developmental but at least fit the scheme. 

[RedBeardedSavage]

Soooo JFM confirmed moving inside?

Brandon Smith to Carolina. I wanted him.

[Joe W. Namath]

Im hearing Clemons is an Ulbrich pick.  He loves the kid.

Say it loud!!  Say it proud!!

Thank you Joe Douglas!  Thank you!!

[jetsons]

Patsies... Jack Jones

QB-needy team takes chance on big-armed QB in round 4.  Outrage ensues.

An old DE in the 4th when we already have 6 DEs seems imprudent.

Yeah, but how many "sure" pass rushers do we really have? Lawson (if healthy) and JJ (hopefully)? And I thought the prevailing opinion around here was that JFM was going to move inside more often.

After that, the rest are just "potential" and depth guys.

With our lack of a pass rush being a problem for years, I don't mind throwing more bodies at it until it's fixed. Isn't the key to Saleh's defense rushing the passer, anyway?

[Irish Jet]

Pick Grade: Below Average

After the Jets moved up to grab Jermaine Johnson II late in the first round, they looked to be set at edge rusher. Now, it seems as though the rich have gotten richer. Still, Clemons has plenty of room to improve — he isn’t super nimble and is one of the oldest prospects in this year’s class.

Via PFF

I posted the positive so I guess there's the negative. Wouldn't have been where I went but hopefully we see something there that makes it worth it. 

[PLO]

Clemons has the physical traits you want. He is loooong. Has one killer move. If they can keep him out of trouble off field and with Saleh's coaching, he could become a good rotational piece. It's a good pick. Pressure on the QB is obviously very important in Saleh's system.

I know they absolutely love the potential of Jonathan Marshall who is, also, an off the charts athlete.  Possibly explains the lack of DT.
