jints... Daniel Bellinger

[JTJet]

I 100% believe the Ravens snaked Faalele in front of us.

[Paradis]

Nice. Batting a thousand baby. 

[BurntDice]

Mitchell nice! He’s rawish and light. Can see him being starter quality in a year or 2 

[PS17]

This is such a clown show of a broadcast. 

[GreenFish]

I like the position. Needed some OL depth.

[Joe W. Namath]

Theres ur swing tackle in case becton or fant go down.  No more egoda.

Build the statue!!!!!

[Vudu]

Jints got A TE

[mrcoops]

Mitchell is a nice pick for us. Improves the depth, can be a valuable swing tackle.

Happy with that pick.

[David Harris]

Phew

Exactly the insurance we needed. Depth swing tackle. See ya Chuma.

Max Mitchell is a dude I really liked. I don’t think he’s athletic enough for us and he’s a tackle only.

Pretty cool. Mitchell is awesome and played RT. The Jets have drafted from the Lion’s senior bowl team more than their own.

FWIW before the Senior Bowl his tape looked like 2nd rounder tape to me

[Irish Jet]

PFF absolutely loved him. 94 grade in his last year in college at right tackle. They initially had a second round grade on him.

Gotta like it. Needed depth there. 

[RedBeardedSavage]

I know nothing about the player, but I'm happy that it's Becton insurance. 

Hell, take another in a few picks.

[fullblast]

Damn you Baltimore

Anyway..

Mitchell is a positional run-blocker with the foot speed to scoop and seal defenders in zone schemes. He lacks the lower-body strength to consistently drive defensive linemen off the ball. He's quick and shoots his hands in pass pro, but he has shorter arms for a tackle, and the competition level raises concerns. Texas was his only Power 5 opponent in 2021, and he struggled at the Senior Bowl. -- Steve Muench

Yeah, but aside from all that he’s pretty good right?

[Vudu]

Can we get a LB next

Yeah, I like him better than Faalele. We already have a jumbo sized tackle. 

[kdels62]

You don’t love it 

[doitny]

Mitchell will be our stating Tackle in a year or 2 at a much cheaper price than Icky or Neal. 

[Guilhermezmc]

Some potential there, don't hate the pick, would prefer Zach Tom.

[HawkeyeJet]

Sounds like a good scheme fit and developmental Tackle. From Dane Brugler’s “beast” kit:

Overall, Mitchell was a below- average tester and needs to continue developing his strength, but his play quickness is an asset in pass protection and as a zone run blocker. He does a great job reestablishing his hands mid-block. He isn’t ready made for the NFL, but he the potential is there for him to grow into a swing tackle role.
GRADE: 4th-5th Round

Max Mitchell is the 3rd player ever drafted by the Jets out of the University of Louisiana and the highest ever drafted by the team.  RB Elijah McGuire was a 6th rounder out of Louisiana for the Jets in 2017

[GreenFish]

Is it too much to ask for a backup center?

[Jetty]

Max Mitchell? Guess the magic ran out.

[bostonmajet]

Based on his measurables, 6'6" and 300+ lbs, can he play guard?

I don’t. Faalele is a RT only, got blown up at Senior Bowl, and we need an athletic swing 

[jetsons]

Jints trade up

Your realtor, Max Mitchell.

I like him a lot too. Seems like he should add another 10 lbs or so

wash... Percy Butler

[Embrace the Suck]

Max Mitchell

Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 83.44 (Long-term starter)

Pro Comparison: Greg Senat

Strengths:

Athleticism and length pop on film. Has NFL OT-caliber length and feet. Punch is typically good, and it leads to him being controlled by the edge defender. Explodes out of his stance for zone plays and when he has to combo/attack the second level. Replaces his hands in pass pro and plays with a sturdy, balanced frame. Anchor in pass protection is solid. Awareness is good, too, and is just athletic enough to get to secondary rushers. Has a decently high floor and high upside because of his athletic talents and pass-protection prowess.

Weaknesses:

Has a tendency to be a touch late with his punch. Needs to add 10-20 pounds to hold up on the edge in the NFL. While his athleticism is good, he does have some problems with smaller speed rushers.

Accolades:

2021: All-Sun Belt first team

Started 37 games past three seasons

Max Mitchell did participate in the Senior Bowl and we got a chance to see him up close.
