Tanny Makes Jets Draft Pick In His New Mock

Tanny still believes Jets will take an OT.  In this case, Fashanu.  Not sure about that vs. taking an offensive play-maker like Bowers or Odunze, but I also agree with him that Alt will go in the top 5.

 

[jbt]

in this case trade with the Falcons to get Marvin Harrison

[David Harris]

That'd be my pick.  Wrong or right, I still think beyond 2024.  LT is the 2nd most important position on the field.  They almost never come up in FA unless they're old/injured (Tyron - whom I'm thrilled to have)

overall great mock by Tanny- like the picks outside of usual ones I’m seeing

What would you offer them besides the #10 pick?

[Bobby816]

Nit a bad pick at all. I still lean more to weapon. But certainly wouldn't dislike going Fashanu

I can't  see Harrison lasting until 9 and Nabers going ahead of him.

The jj mccarthy/kyler murray thing seems way way way out there to me

one of our 4ths and a 2nd or 3rd next year.  not sure the exact value but would be willing to trade any pick besides #1 next year

[PS17]

[MR.GANGGREEN28]

I enjoy anything that gives me false hope that Odunze can fall to 10

Interesting. I think that's a fair deal (4th this year, 3rd next year).

[Adoni Beast]

It was very interesting that he had Arizona trading Murray to Minnesota. Make it happen Tanny!!!

[GKnight83]

I have Guyton ranked higher than Latham. Also, have them ranked 4 and 5 respectively. No one is taking Latham 1-5

If Olu is as good as advertised, it's a very solid pick.

Still think I'd rather move back a little to be in better position to also address WR on day 2.

Agree on both points.  

[RutgersJetFan]

It is bizarre that no matter who the GM is, using first rounders to replace the busted draft pick they just took is like the one thing the Jets are consistent at more than anyone else. The only difference between Douglas and his predecessors is that he does it with OL instead of DL or safeties.

Oh, sorry. Misread the title of the original post

That would be a trip.

Might make Gannon look like a fraud in the locker room though, since he's been singing Kyler Murray's praises ever since he got the job.

[Barry McCockinner]

Bears walking away with Caleb Williams and MHJ would be quite a haul.

[varjet]

I am not confident that Fashanu is a real hard-nosed guy who likes to hit people and play football, as opposed to a big kid with long arms who knows he can make money playing football.  

This is where JD will make his money.  He has missed on this concept before.  In his great draft, he basically hit on it (I think JJII is a little bit opportunistic, but for his position and effort, he is making it work-I don’t know what contract 2 looks like for him-could be 5 year option and done).

odunze goes before 10 in like every mock out there.  The recent ones. He's always gone. Be prepared for an alternative. Sadly.

Both Marvin Powell & D'Brickashaw Ferguson were more widely known for their ability to play their position with finesse rather than mauling others. I see Fashanu in the same light. 

[MysticalJet2]

No way we pick OT at 10.

Our starting OTs are 31 and 33 on one year contracts.  Just saying.

I'd be fine with any of the following:

Alt, Bowers, Nabers, Odunze, MHJ, Fuaga, Fashanu

Picks that would cause me to have a total melt down even if they are trade-down picks later in the first round. 

JC Latham. Brian Thomas Jr.

why trade up for the 4-5th ranked wr? according to the stats. Which dont lie

[Darnold Schwarzenegger]

Really prefer a wr with our pick at 10. If not wr than it better be a olineman.

Not a mauler but I don't know if that represents his love for the game or not.

I know he was a Captain at Penn State and stayed an extra year at school even though he could've been a top 15 pick last year (wouldn't have gotten by the Jets that's for sure)

JC Latham. Brian Thomas Jr.

Latham is really high on some boards.  good read below

.C. Latham, Alabama RT

6'6, 342lb Junior
Arms: 35 1/8"
Hand: 11"

Played in:
- 14 games as a backup OT during true Freshman season. Limited playing time
- 13 games as the starting RT during true Sophomore season
- 13 games as a starting RT during Jr. season

Pros:
• Plays with good pad level
• Maintains great pad level throughout run blocks and can really move defenders
• Damn (run plays against Texas, just demolished people)
• Excellent core strength. Can really twist DL out of the hole and away from the play
• Very good mover going to the 2nd level
• Very active feet, works to keep his center in front of rushers on passing plays
• Consistently good hand placement
• Is excellent at coming off of his man and redirecting to a delayed blitzer
• Terrific hand fighter
• Excellent footwork for zone scheme. Alabama an mostly from the gun and Latham executed run concepts consistently well.
• Completely stymies counter moves in pass pro
• This is so stupid: on a play during the LSU game, he picked up the edge rusher and noticed there was a CB blitzing outside of the rusher……Latham saw this and quickly pushed the rusher along his rush arc to get in the blitzers way, essentially blocking 2 people at once by using the edge rusher as a human wall to block off the CB
• Really solid puller
• Blitz and stunt recognition is absurdly good. He immediately redirects once he knows what the defense is doing. Clearly he's a film studier

Cons:
• Will open his hips in pass pro after completing first 2 kicks of slide
• At times won't "set the edge" on passing plays. This means that while he maintains appropriate position and technique, if he doesn't go out and meet the defender at a specific spot, and the defender can still win the rep by getting to the QB through the Latham. He needs to get to his position and engage the defender. He can't always receive the defender (this cost a sack against Michigan in the Rose bowl)
• Can be fooled by some blitzes and will block nobody out of confusion (Michigan)
• Concern arises surrounding conditioning. He was fairly tired toward the end of games
• Needs to do a little better in looking for work when he's uncovered/unengaged by a rusher

Run Blocking | 94
1. Latham can absolutely annihilate people off of the line. He has active hands, strong twitchy feet that keep driving, and really good hip drive, not to mention a violent mentality to finish people
2. I rarely saw him have bad pad level. He always was as low or lower than the defender in front of him. That is huge! It allows him to not only flourish, but to dominate and stand out
3. He has excellent play concept recognition and knows where to be and how to get there quickly and eliminate his defender. Has great feet for zone concepts and the power to excel in power run scheme
4. I can't say much more regarding his run blocking. He's got it all

Pass Blocking | 92
1. Has terrific "phone booth" athleticism that allows him to almost always be in position using proper form
2. His hands are amazing to me. He is an amazing hand fighter and when he inevitably wins the hand contest he latches on and dominates the rep and neutralizes his defender
3. Shows good movement in space on screens and on QB scrambles and will try to demolish 2nd level defenders
4. Sometimes will fail to "set the edge" and can pass protect his way into the QB
5. Core, hands, strength, length, feet are all there. Allows Latham to really shine and dominate.

Overall | 93, Top 10 prospect
• For what it's worth, he looked phenomenal in his drill work at the combine
• Is he the best OT prospect in this draft?………………….(sigh) he might be. His tape is outstanding. I hate to admit it, he's terrific. I would have to look at some other guys (Alt, Fashanu, etc….) but Latham is so far the best one I've officially evaluated
• He's twitchy and active and violent in the run game (something Mims is missing) and he regularly displays his strength by moving people out of the hole and twisting them out of the play like rag dolls. He also shows the grace and athleticism to move well in pass pro and he uses good technique which puts him in position to win many battles. Finally, his best asset is his hand usage. He's probably the best hand fighter in the class and he has consistently phenomenal hand placement that allows him to leverage defenders and regularly neutralize them
• I can't help but feel like I'm watching a seasoned NFL veteran when I'm watching Latham. He's so dominant and it looks so easy, it's not even funny. Even from a mental/cerebral standpoint he's so advanced. He's clearly NFL ready and I think he'll be an All-Pro at some point.
• Outside of some concerns around conditioning I have nothing really negative to say. Everything else is like micro-nitpicking. Not even regular nitpicking.

Judge a college player solely on his stats and that’s how u end up with a Zach Wilson. MHJr is best player in this draft.

Take him in the first round and he busts, the GM is a failure.

Yeah we should get Donovan Smith. I know he’s the reason the Chiefs haven’t won the Super Bowl but still.
