In trying to get this straight ... The Jets get a 6th rounder in 2024 for a 2025 conditional 7th ?

Good to get anything but Douglas and his two great 2nd round WR gets have given a totally embarrassing return overall.

Agreed. but that 1 wr he took in the first round had a pretty amazing rookie year

Terrible move. This was his break out year.

I heard the Lions had to take over Hard Knocks in the deal.

Anyone check in with @FidelioJet yet to determine if this is something serious teams do?

I bet hard knocks is pissed they missed out on this meeting. 

Can anyone explain to me why it makes any sense whatsoever to give him away before camp? 2 weeks into camp we are going to have at least 2 WRs riding the bikes because, well, thats what happens EVERY year. Our MVP QB rental is going to have moments he'll be taking practice snaps with the Jeff Smith or future practice squad players of the world. They trade for another WR in the coming days, obviously I retract that statement. But what was the sense of dumping him this second? We are almost certainly going to be fielding WRs in camp that are worse than Mims. I don't get it...

There was trade interest from other teams ... more than one, by the sounds of it. That interest wouldn't last beyond the start of camp as you want the guy to show up at your training camp day 1, so you get maximum value.

Plus, Mims could be an issue in camp (unhappy last year and asked for a trade at the time). And if he got injured then they still cut him, get nothing in return, and likely owe him more money.

He wasn't making it here - we already have Wilson, Davis, Lazard, Cobb, Hardman PLUS a whole bunch of #6 potential guys who would likely see the field more than Mims, especially if they play ST.

Lol yes, it was sarcasm/satire. But it’s not about what I think, it’s about what JD thinks. And if JD thought Aaron Rodgers was really still good, he would be trusting Rodgers to turn Mims into a good receiver instead of burying him on the depth chart behind better receivers and then trading him.

You think Mims was going to learn all those hand gestures?   After blowing off camp?

yes... was such a great draft in 2020.  I dare you to find a team that had a worse draft than JD in 2020.

That draft was McCaggnanesque.

Lions beat Jets last year maybe Mims flashed that game?

Otherwise he's just a garage sale WR who cares.

He doesn’t play special teams and had no chance of making the team and the lions want him for the offense installation portion of camp and it makes no sense to subject him to injury risk.

2021 was a top tier draft. 5 starters and a Echols/Carter  who’s are great backups esp for a late round pick? That’s insane 

Obviously AVT was great (though an OL taken mid-1st round is not that big of a surprise).  

There were some good later round picks but ZW has been a huge bust so far and Eli Moore has already gotten traded.

Really really liked Mims coming out, had him in my top 5 of that class and was shocked after all the trade backs that he was still there for the taking late in the 2nd.  I thought his rookie season was promising for missing most of camp and coming on late.  Call it a run of bad luck, a regime not invested in him or whatever you want, it's a huge disappointment but glad the Jets got something vs. nothing.  That said, not a great look for JD to be trading both 2nd round WR from back to back draft when they were supposed to be part of the "core" but I also respect cutting bait and not holding out for hope just because of draft positioning.  All that to say, I wish Mims well, should be interesting to see if he can revitalize his career in another environment.

I saw this thing once where a guy started out with a Yamaha keyboard and kept trading till ended up with a Ferrari. Maybe Joe D saw it too?

Not even JD can overcome our 2nd round WR curse.  And the fact that our jinxes continue doesn't bode well for our game against the Eagles this year.  And the fact that if we do somehow make it to the Super Bowl, I'm thinking there's a great chance Philly will be there.  Though imagine if our first win against the Eagles in franchise history was in the Super Bowl?!  That would really be the capper!

I was so confused by this post and then realized that the Jets have never beat the Eagles.  lol  Crazy.  Is there an example of that anywhere else in the NFL?

Sure Zach is a bust that sucks, but look at the rest of the draft 

AVT is awesome

Moore is a starter for the browns 

Carter the rb is a solid rational back 

Sherwood the coaching staff loves and looks like he’ll be starting this year 

Carter the cb is a top 10 slot

Pinnock is starting on the giants as far as I know 

Nas looks like a bust 

Echols is a great backup corner who can step in and not be exposed if needed

Marshall was a swing and a miss

 

Look around the league. Teams are lucky to get 3 guys who contribute in a draft. This draft has 7 which is incredible

Yeah, everyone knows a pick not good enough to stick on your team for more than a year or two is actually a good thing.
