The number 11 player on Daniel Jeremiah’s latest top 50 list, Turner was one of the best defenders in the nation for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The 6′ 4” 245 Turner racked up 10 sacks and 14 tackles for loss last season at ‘Bama, giving him 22 and 32 respectively for his career.

And then safety in the 3rd round

[Lupz27]

The only acceptable Defensive draft pick would be Kris Jenkins Jr on a trade back that nets a 2nd minimum.

Let’s trade our 3rd rounder for Jamal Adams and turn around and trade him for two 1st rounders 2025 & 2026. 

[mrcoops]

Using our #10 overall pick on an edge rusher to replace former undrafted free agent Bryce Huff would be 100% Jets.

[T0mShane]

The optimistic take is that Turner has played against a bunch of the OTs we’d be looking at in this draft and I’m guessing that’s what Douglas would be asking about

[varjet]

Draft him for our conversion to the 3-4 next year under HC Vrabel.

Good point. Was listening to Kirwin and Miller interviewing Jared Verse and he said the best OT he went up against was Tyler Guyton. Kirwin loves Guyton too. 

[Dunnie]

The obvious take ... This is a pure and transparent smoke screen to get some edge needy team to trade up w the Jets or trade in front of them in case of a miraculous and inconceivable Alt or Fashanu drop.

Now, this would be very Jetsy.

[Fantasy Island]

Just draft an OL at 10.  We will not attract squat in FA regarding our OL. 
What is the incentive to come here?

Yup.  As usual we'll have to heavily overpay for the third or fourth option...

You have a broken down Rodgers this year and then a new HC, OC and rookie QB the year after.   Not an attractive situation for an offensive linemen.

We need offensive linemen you morons .

[Jimmy 2 Times]

Remember when we didn’t have a quality edge for 20 years? 
Saleh is going to make sure that never happens again.

Guyton is great. One of my favorite RT prospects in this draft. However, at 10 I will be a sheeple and I will say I would rather take Fuaga or Mims (assuming Alt/Fashanu are gone). Fuaga is already a monster in the run game and if his upside as a pass blocker comes to fruition I think overall he is a better prospect. Similarly, Mims has the upside to eventually move to the left side and be a starting LT in the NFL. I don't see that from Guyton. 

If we had a 2nd round pick, Guyton would be someone I would consider trading up into the bottom half of Rd. 1 for if we took Bowers or a WR at 10. Or, conversely, if we ended up trading down from 10 to the bottom half of Rd. 1 and Fuaga/Mims were gone.

This is a non story.

"Plans within plans" is a bit of a stretch with these guys...

 

[Cut Jet Penalty Makers]

Saleh should be barred from the building on draft day...look at the havoc he caused with the McDonald pick.

[GreenFish]

This is going to be an unpopular opinion around these parts. But I’m going to say it anyways.

The Jets should draft the best player available. If that player is an Edge Rusher, than we

There is no edge rusher better than any of the top 4 consensus wrs or Bowers. 

Why wouldn't we just resign Huff and Play McDonald more.

 

It makes zero sense.

If I can’t get Alt or Fashanou, I’m trading back and take Guyton.

That's a dangerous game.  There have been several reports that teams do not have all these tackles rated the same.  It isn't like a the straight 1, 2, 3 list of prospects.  Some teams/media outlets seem to love Fuaga.  Others say he is a guard and going in the 2nd.  There are reports that teams find Alt and Fashanu stiff and not top of the draft type prospects.  The Jets may be happy with a "solid pro" or Russell Okung level T, but the teams selecting earlier may not.

Guyton and Mims are athletic freaks that probably have the skills to be in the top of the draft but Guyton has maturity concerns.  I have not read much about what they are, and that talk is often just smoke that we can't read through without interviewing them, but for a team that whiffed on Becton, Wilson and Moore, it scares the sh*t out of me.

I agree… by draft day the OT draft boards are more than likely going to be very different than they are now. Just like every year.😎

[varjet]

JD cannot draft anymore immature flakes.  He is out of spins on those.  That is why is 2022 draft was so good. 

[BurnleyJet]

Jets plan let Bryce Huff Walk, waste a 1st rounder on unproven talent, Check!

It hurts JD’s big round head to think that hard. Same with his fellow baldy-in-chief Mr. Clean Saleh

This regime will never draft another Mims again.

Why are people fixated on Vrabel. Just more of the same IMO. We need a QB focused HC

The Jets cannot hire a Mike McDaniel, for example.   He would get eaten alive here.  They need an HC with a strong personality and experience.  Vrabel has been able to put together an offensive staff.   He could stand up to Woody and the NY media.  

McCarthy could work after he gets fired.  Vrabel could work.  Harbaugh would have been great.  Saleh was good on paper but turned out to be an uncommitted flake who can't build a staff.  

I don't see Saleh surviving 2024.    Hess did the same thing with the first time HCs.  He eventually got the joke, I think 2025 is when Woody gets the joke.  Hopefully.
