### The Official Draft Day One Discussion Thread ###

[football guy]

I don’t think the Jets truly anticipated this result. Had mentioned in the draft forum that they were extremely high on Will McDonald and wouldn’t rule him out if all the tackles were gone. Jets stuck to their board but damn the pick swap really ****ed them

This . They weren’t going to use another 1st rounder on an OL.  The team needs pass rushers.  

Is that why it took 10 minutes to make the pick.

JD (I love him overall) obviously got punked and the Steelers just got even when we jumped then for Revis. 
 

I’m devastated. I am.

[bd71]

Center in round 2?

Yeah, using a top 15 pick on a situational/rotational, 239lb, edge rusher, is always awesome.

Nothing says upside like a 24-year-old developmental prospect.

[Lurker89]

I'm going to be hyperbolic about this until proven otherwise.

Well, generally speaking we do.

Have you seen the Jets drafts over the past decade or so?

[slimjasi]

I like edge rushers so I’m not mad 

no WRs taken yet 

very interesting

Putting pressure on QB’s is never a bad thing.

He’s going to get tossed around like a rag doll if he’s really 239 lbs.  There will be no pressure at that weight.

I had a feeling they were going D tonight.  Is it a foregone conclusion they take a center tomorrow?

Hopefully Aaron signed his contract.

Gotta be honest - no idea who this is

Gute threw JD 100 bucks to draft defense as a parting shot lol

[Beerfish]

The player himself?  He may be okay but this is a deep edge draft, and we simply rotate so much we are not getting a guy that will play 3 downs, Pick a  player that actually plays all the frigging snaps.

This is looking like when Tanny pandered to rex 90% of the time.

The Jets are going to score a lot of points this year and they’ll want to sack the other QB to end the game. Edge rusher is a good pick here

Waste of a pick he will be ******* 30 when you need to decide if you want to pick up his 5th year.  How do you not take that into account?

[Joe W. Namath]

Joe D has lost his mojo.  And u guys know how fond i am of him.

JSN was a layup pick.  Joe overthought it.

Should have moved back with the Giants then, or someone else.

Have to say Joe Douglas has TomShane and Matt liking this pick. I am being serious, that has me pumped.

Kid can play, not concerned in a vacuum. We lost games because of our offense though… so, holistically it seems ill-informed. 

[Trotter]

@kevinc855 if you are in your way to fp - stop by the house and we will have a drink before you go.

it is about 2 miles away

[HighPitch]

You know the worst part?

fidelio and bitonti posts that are coming

thats the worst not the pick

[BettyBoop]

Great pick!  Defense will be top 5!

Probably debated if it was worth trading back or sticking to the board.  

We knew they were going d either tonight or tomorrow.  Now they’re probably taking a center tomorrow.

GW better stay healthy 

Yeah, because our oline is real solid. Jets wasted a 1st and 2nd round pick on a 40 year old that'll spend his last season running for his life.

**** this team.

[Embrace the Suck]

JD trades Corey Davis and the 2nd to move back into the first and drafts that WR. Throw in some spare change if needed.

I love the player but not a need. Why? After getting Rodgers!!

Perhaps Carl lawson is a goner. Its the only way this pick makes sense.

[Ghost]

The player doesn’t bother me as much but why NOT TRADE BACK AT LEAST

The pick swap was a mistake and there was no need for it considering we gave them a first next year 

This is what happens when the staff are putting their job security ahead of the team. Green Bay could smell the desperation miles away and played Douglas for a fool. 

He may get his brief run of success with Rodgers but after that the Jets are f*cked. At least he’ll probably get himself a new contract in the mean time. That’s what matters.

Corey Davis is such a wild card for the offense. I was sure he was getting cut but then you look at his salary and with the WR market exploding it isn't bad.

Can he develop some chemistry with Aaron and have a bounce back year?

[the Claw]

I dunno. I like it. Hehe. The D has lacked a consistent pass rush. They were over rated last year and this makes the line very interesting. Get the ball back to Rogers. It’s an odd choice, but I like it.

[Greensleeves]

Most guys panning the pick have never seen the guy play. Possible they deal Lawson for a pick or player.

the pick got a "who?" response from me, but can't really be that upset with someone that tied the big 12 record for sacks.  i would have been happy with nolan smith.  obviously the jets like mcdonald better as an edge rusher.  i'm not gonna pretend i know more than them in their evaluations.

Who is going to apparently change positions.

[rbstern]

I would have preferred Nolan Smith, but I don't hate this pick.  McDonald is an excellent player, freak athlete.

at least it's not a TE

Well, LB is/was a need, so at least there is that. But I’ll continue to say this O isn’t close to good enough as-is to compete for a SB even with Rodgers. We need more but I fear JD thinks arodgers is in fact a savior fox-all and the rest are fine. Guess we’ll see.

Hes 24, small, with a mediocre 40 time.

Freaking joke.
