The new DT…is now JFM

That’s what the McDonald pick tells me. Move JFM inside, find big fatty DT veteran post Draft.

Jermaine Johnson, Carl Lawson (?), McDonald, Huff. Oh baby!

I agree. I wonder if Lawson becomes a cap casualty. More money for offensive upgrades?

That has to be the thought. This pick does 3 things potentially. Upgrades a premium position, upgrade DT2 by moving JFM inside, gives the Jets some optionality with the Cap on Lawson.

Yeah it seems like they will get a vet that wants to try and win, and this is the spot. Have to leave some cap room, I think it is Lawson.

Although if that is the rotation at Edge:  Lawson - Johnson, McDonald and Huff with Q and JFM inside, hot damn.

I loved the Eagles had so many guys with 10 sacks last year. You get one guy with 17 sacks that is great, but you can gameplan for it to an extent. How do you game plan for 5 guys getting 10 sacks (and no that isn't what I am saying will happen here, just referring to the Eagles).

I like the pick.  I think about the games last year when our defense was relentless in getting to the QB.  This pick shows me they are going to keep their foot on the gas and press down harder.  
 

We will need guys who get after the QB more as we should in theory have an offense that will put points on the board and force the other team to throw.

I have a feeling McDonald will take 30% snaps as Edge in rotation but another 30% at Will taking over for Kwon. Don't use a lot of 3 LB sets and we have a heavy DL rotation. Could be a versatile piece to see the feild more often. 

I haven’t watched him at all. Is he good in coverage?

Maybe he’s worth a 3rd or 4th round pick in a trade?

Very well Lawson could be moved which would be a little bit of a pity. Yes we overpaid but Lawson also had his best season when paired with Geno Atkins on the other side. Lawson makes a good anvil if MacDonald can be a self-creating sack guy (the hammer). We played Lawson out of position last season and asked him to be what he has never been — a self-creator. He needs to be the wall your bendy edge corrals the QB up against.

Saleh is in a bathroom with a box of tissues and a jar of Vaseline. lol

With Q and JFM up the middle!  Saleh has his dream line.  

I think coach won the draft room debate tonight, we'll see if he was right.

He better be because if his wife was as knowledgeable as us posters, she wouldn't give him any box for a long time after reaching on this pick!

We aren’t going to be in a lot of ground and pound games this year unless something goes horribly wrong (read: Rodgers goes on IR). We have to be threaten the QB and be smaller, faster and more flexible on defense.

Yup. The more Jets Nation hates this pick, the more I like it.

So a 239lb dude is going to take on tackles?

He’s been doing it though… He’s a more nimble and athletic but lighter version playing the bosa wide position. It’s an intriguing pick and is 150% Saleh.
