Garrett Wilson

Breece Hall is the single most scariest weapon on the Jets.  He can make explosive plays by ground or air.  And if he escapes thru the defense's leverage...he's going to the House with it.  Opposing DCs will have to make special prepared game plans due to his presence.  And that will make play action more effective.  Allowing especially Wilson and Moore opportunities for big plays downfield.  And of course for the rest of the receiving weapons too.  

I like Wilson...but as a rookie he may take a while...just as Moore did last year...to make a full impact that he's capable of.  He's the most complete receiver on the team.  He will feast in this offense.  And Breece...because he will make a bigger impact sooner...will help unlock Wilson...because the defense will be more focused on containing Hall. 

This is why I coveted Hall in this draft...as a 2nd round pick.  IMO...I think JD moved up and snagged him...pretty much for reasons I just stated.

Hall is not your 4-5th round RB to fill out the unit.   Breece is special...as in all pro potential.

Email this...if you know how...to the Gods 'O Canton.  So that they may bless Breece   with a special dispensation...to prevent career killing injuries.  And allow us Jets fans to have the privilege to enjoy many years of exciting big plays...as those fortunate fans did  with Peterson.

This dude would been picked at the very top of the draft 20 years ago.

Would have preferred a tall red zone target, but if this guy does the YAC to get there who am I to argue lol... Also just to add why I don't hate this pick is our new TE group. I believe they will be heavily involved in red zone targets....

I am very excited/optimistic to see an offense with what looks like a solid O-Line, and Wilson/Moore/Davis/Berrios/Mims at WR and Ruckert (eventually) at TE#1.  I'm glad we have the two new FA TE's in the short-term as well.  And I'm REALLY very happy to have Hall to pair with Carter.

Wilson (@10) and Hall (in the 2nd) were my two most consistent desires throughout the leadup to this draft, it feels so odd (and amazing) to have landed them both.  And Ruckert to boot (I would have also been happy with Mitchell from VATech, but Ruckert was preferred, just didn't think he'd be there still when we picked around his value-spot).

For the first time in a long time, I think we have talent at the offensive skill positions that rises above "near the worst" for a change.  

This is the kind of talent that should at the least be in the middle of the pack of NFL Offenses, production wise.  

If coached right.

And if the QB isn't poop.

So here is hoping Zach really makes a huge leap in year two.  Because he has no talent-deficiency reasons/excuses now to play poorly.

A draft designed to optimize Zach's development plus a top tier edge for good measure. Truly epic and beautifully managed.

Santana Moss combine results: 

5'10 184, 4.31 40 yard dash, 42 inch vertical, 16 overall pick

Garrett Wilson combine results 

6'0 183, 4.38 40 yard dash, 36 inch vertical, 10 overall pick 

the Original poster says they never had a player like Wilson before but he's kind of Santana Moss 2.0 

which as most old folks will remember had an exciting few years here (1100 yards and 10 TD in 2003) before getting traded for Coles and playing 10 more seasons in Washington, making All-Pro in 2005 (almost 1500 rec yards), the year he left. 

Moss was basically Tyreek Hill at the U

I think the difference is Wilson plays bigger then his height.  Santana moss did not.

Also if I recall correctly, Zach was pretty good in the redzone last year.  Hoping that Wilson and Moore can get constant separation so Zach can get the ball out relatively quick.  The days of our QBs sitting and waiting to throw to Ryan Griffin are over.

Different players. 

I loved moss and was really pissed when we moved him, but Wilson is two inches taller and plays a lot longer than Moss did because of his longer arms. 
 
I think Wilson has more potential to be a true X than moss did coming out - moss was possibly more explosive.

The good thing, best thing, about Wilson and the Jets roster in general is there is zero pressure on anyone to be THE guy.  There should be enough talent and depth to allow everyone on the field on any given snap to be a legitimate threat that defenses have to account for.  That, to me, is more important than anything.  That puts so much pressure on the defense.

It will also aid the development of the young guys because you don’t have to ask them to do everything immediately.  Design things for what they do well.  

For an offense that’s built off the outside zone run first and foremost, marrying the run and pass game with playaction, and utilizing a heavy dose of misdirection and stretching the field horizontally, we have the pieces in place to cause legit headaches. If it all comes together, you’ll have no idea where it’s gonna come from. 
 

This isn’t the type of offense that’s built off having a bellcow or #1 option....the sum is greater then it’s parts....this has the potential to explode if it can all come together...

Wilson has more height and wingspan 

Santana moss verticaled 42 though (!) 

People are sour on Moss for whatever reason but he was explosive and other teams had to account for him

I was responding to the idea that Wilson didn’t lead the team in receiving in college because of Olave’s seniority.

That wasn’t the reason this year. Maybe the sit out, can’t tell how those games would’ve gone. But Smith-Njigba is very good.

Obviously Wilson is very talented, and the Ohio State WR room was loaded. I just don’t think it’s fair to expect him to come in and be the guy at the NFL level when he didn’t even have to do that in college.

Let him be part of the room, grow, and develop at his pace, whatever it is. If he steps into that role, great. But let’s not set him up to disappoint. He’ll add something even if he’s a pretty average first round rookie receiver. Average first round rookie receiver yardage would’ve led the team last year.

I mean Smith-Ndigba caught for 347 yards in one of the games Wilson sat... At same time, Wilson scored more TDs.

Of course JSN is absolutely ridiculous (really pops when you watch their film), but Wilson increased his catches and yards materially each year (after contributing well as a Freshman) and he played a lot in the positions we want him to occupy on the field for us.

Just saying I think expectations need to be kept in check. He’s clearly talented and I think it’s important he’s just viewed as a valuable piece of the puzzle and any serious production this year is a bonus.

Agree. No one is more optimistic than me, but these guys have to produce on the field before we count them as weapons

The New York Jets have never had a player like this on their roster. Ever.

With the TEs and Corey Davis providing "top cover" and Hall and Brax also threatening the underneath stuff, Wilson and Moore are going to be legitimately f*cking up some Defensive Backfields. Like, legit PTSD sh*t. Someone in YT comments put it best, Wilson and Moore will be putting DBs in a blender.

 

God damn,  I'm excited to see this offense play this year. 

 

 

I'm excited but yes they did have  WRs this exciting AL Toon and Wesley walker to bad it took this long to draft a new set.  Maybe you weren't around to see that.

Posted a couple times but over the last decade or so, both mean and median first round rookie WR yardage are in the 600’s. Now nobody on last year’s team even got there, and I think there’s been a little uptick recently, but I think better to be measured with expectations and pleasantly surprised if he’s a 1000 yard guy off the back.

I haven’t followed the camp tweets as closely as everyone else, but it seems like Wilson is having a quiet camp. Can anyone who knows more add some insight? Would love to hear more about his performance.

What's a "quiet camp"?  He has dropped some passes in practices.  Like all of the receivers have.  He's also flashed his athletic skills, been working with the first team, learning, getting better, etc. etc. et al.  Not sure what else we would have wanted so far.  Let's see what happens when the games start.

[FootballLove]

Who gave him that pearl neckless on draft night? Talk about hazing!!!

Love the way he uses his hands to catch passes.....rarely lets the ball into his pads. 

So right now, Mike White, Garrett, Breece, Mims, and Ruckert are all listed as backups. So here's the setting against NE: Jets up by 24 points going into the 4th qtr and pull their starters and put in their backups: White, Garrett, Mims, Breece and Ruckert come into the game....and put up another 24 points in 12 minutes! 

At least our preseason games will be fun to watch with as much talent on the bench as the starting lineup. Feels real good for a change....

I think he's made a few plays.  Nothing that screams top-10 pick though.

Supposedly had an ugly drop yesterday in a drill with no defenders.

[slimjasi]

Super excited to see this guy get some live reps on Friday

Wasn’t a dig at him. Feel like we’ve heard more about Breece and Elijah who are having good camps. Looking forward to seeing Garrett play live.
