Like I said, we'll see if this rotational tweener contributes at all these next two years.

Or if last year's version of this guy, JJ, ever shows up.

Or if the FA version of this guy, Lawson, ever shows up.....

Or if our O doesn't screw Rodgers due to fragility and lack of any depth at all.

1 offensive pick won’t save the O which you claim is fragile and lacking of depth.

Drafting an OL or WR would not mean they’d be more than rotational either.

It’s not perfect, but as you stated… If Lawson and JJ don’t show up (which they haven’t much so far), it’s not crazy to want another edge who might.

I admittedly don't know much about him but Maybin didn't bend much, he was a straight line speed guy

It's an awful comparison actually regardless if this ends up a good pick or nor.

Micah Parsons: 6-3, 248.

Chandler Jones: 6-5, 266.

Aldon Smith: 6-4, 280.

Bryce Huff (who was, and still is, considered to be “undersized”: 6-3, 255.

Will McDonald IV: 6-3, 239 (combine weight; Iowa state listed him at 6-3 236, so he put on 3lbs during draft prep.)

Eh, you can put on 10-15 pounds of weight to get to the parsons profile if that’s what you are worried about

i doubt this guy is gong to be parsons, but I think you guys get a bit too caught up in size

Would it though?

With ar as qb?

Just look at him last year without Davante

Who would they rely on to move the chains, Lazard and “catch and fall” Conklin?

The eagles are having the draft the jets had last year

With each passing minute that goes by, I hate this pick more and more.

What have you done Joe Douglas?  What have you done??

It's a disease.  Let's see the kid play first.  If he gets 8-10 sacks and forces a few turnovers, it's worth it.

[sciond]

Well it could have been worse....

They could have picked  Levis.....

Nobody is Parsons

Would be lucky if this guy is Bryce Huff

The Jets, essentially, took Aaron Maybin, in the hopes that it pans out differently.

Rodgers just tweeted he wants to be traded.

To your point, we picked up Rodgers to improve the offense.

I appreciate many seem not to agree, but I don't believe Rodgers alone is enough.

And I don't think Lazard/Hardman is that much better than Moore/Berrios.

Beyond that, it's the same old guys, with the same old injury risks/history.

Like I said a few days ago, JD is betting his career in NY that all these players are "better than they've shown last year".

And that they're more durable too.

Yeah, hopefully day 2/3 gets us some help on O, that will go a long way to placate my disappointment right now.

 Him without Devante still produce numbers that happen maybe twice in 25 years for the Jets

[BigRy56]

The Eagles have incredible luck in the draft recently with all their picks. Really strong team in Philly - I don’t know how these guys keep falling to them every year

Posted that before I read your post

 

still confused as to why you wouldn’t pick Nolan smith who was a universal top 10-15 pick

Its puck 30 and he is still available.  
Guess the NFL doesnt see Smith the way you do.

The armchair analysts don't really know anything and even the NFL scouts get plenty wrong.  JD knows more than any of us do.  That doesn't mean he can't make mistakes but let's hope he made the right pick here.

[Sammybighead]

Guys, let's face facts. We lost when we had to do that pick swap. Tonight is the price that needed to be paid for getting AR.

Favt of the matter is, once the OTs were gone, we weren't gonna be that thrilled with anyone else. I would have taken JSN. But clearly he wasn't as high amongst the league as he was in our minds. Who else we gonna take that would have been universally loved? Nobody. We got extremely lucky last year, like I said, we were due to come back down to earth. Just remember having McDonald and AR is better than broderick jones and zach!

Wait so our pick is small at 6'3 239 but Nolan Smith somehow isn't?

4 minutes ago, JETS SB said:

Yup and I trust guys who know a little bit about defensive players. The point was, they felt he would be gone if they traded back too far. Myles Murphy just went before Nolan Smith, who will go soon. The pash rushers are all gone. And we needed one. Anyone who wanted to pick a WR at 15 is just clueless.  Not with what we have already added this off-season and what we still need. 
 

1.) While you can never have too many pass rushers, we have Lawson, we have JJ, who we traded up to draft in the first round last year, we have Clemons, and we ended up taking a guy most people thought would go at the very end of the first, at best, with a top 15 pick.

2.) Being a 239 pound athletic speed freak in college will establish you as a good collegiate pass rusher.  In the pros, you will be obliterated by NFL sized offensive linemen.

3.) If Garrett Wilson goes down, we’re f*cked.

Doesn’t matter

GB didn’t even make the playoffs

You’re not winning a SB if Lazard is your WR1

There was NO AMOUNT extra draft picks to trade down that JD would have taken? He's gotta take WILL ****IN MCDONALD, RIGHT NOW?!

You don’t feel that going from Zach/Flacco/White to Rodgers is a seismic improvement?

Howie Roseman running circles around the idiot GMs around the league

NFC champs somehow add Carter and Nolan Smith

You’re clearly high. What does what you said have to do with what I said?

Damage control wont help, Joe.  It was a terrible pick.

That seals it, he will be a surefire Pro Bowler as a rookie.

Fair.  Maybe a shorter version of Barkevious Mingo is a “better” comparison.

Get on with it already. sh*t.

They are recruiting the whole team of Georgia. Problem is when they all together will they stay out of trouble. I love Nolan Smith, Carter is a different story but who knows with his brothers he straightens his act. GM is drafting players from Georgia and Alabama.
