CTJetsFan Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 29 minutes ago, THE BARON said: 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. I like that list but would prefer Fautanu (Wash OT) over Fuaga. Fuaga seems to be projected as a RT (or G) only. I think Fautanu has the athletic ability to continue as a LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 It all depends on who is available and who is best on our board. My gut tells me though Latham in the end winds up first or second offensive lineman taken and I think we would take him over the others and maybe just below Alt. My gut tells me that the Jets are not going OL in the first. It is a very risky pick now with the changes in college football. To me a QB and OL at 10 are sort of similar in that neither would be expected to or is likely to play much in 2024. We could be in position to get at 10 or with a smaller trade up a QB we think is elite and then sit him behind Rodgers for a year or 2. Even for a lame duck GM it is not a bad move. In fact picking a QB could be a way for JD to save his job and pick a second HC. Plus Woody will want a "face" in the wings. Don't discount Love looking good this year. Choosing QB allows the Jets to develop a QB that way. I could even see Woody forcing QB because of this. If I had to rate the likelihood of things right now it might be this: 1. Small trade up for QB if the one they really want is there 2. Trade up for one of the receivers and maybe as high as 4 if they love MHJ that much 3. Pick WR/QB at 10 4. Trade down 5. Pick defense at 10 6. Draft OL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA additions have really opened things up. The Jets can go in a multitude of directions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Fashanu in the same light. I remember Marvin Power. Nice comparison to Brick. Both were technical players. Powell was a better run blocker though with Brick being a better pass blocker. Powell A- to B + pass blocker. A- run blocker. Brick A+ pass blocker and C - Run blocker. Nick Mangold was also a very technical blocker vs. being a mauler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don’t do that for a backup OT even if they start the following year. With the injury history of your starting LT, you have to expect to need a second starting OT. Chances are that Smith is going to miss a few games. I HOPE just a few. While I would REALLY like to have Bowers or a tip WR in the draft, the smart play would be OT at 10 and WR in the third round. Or, give something up in the 2025 draft to garner a 2nd round pick this year. The draft is so deep at WR and OT, you can get both this year if they work a deal to get back into the 2nd round this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protecting Rodgers is a pretty high priority task. If he stays healthy we're likely a playoff team. Tyron is only a 1 year deal and he has been injured a lot. Tackle is still pretty likely at #10 imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go top WR or Bowers. If not they trade back imo and get OT later maybe they get a 2nd with the trade back. It will be a weapon at 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Trade back and take oline has been the wet dream of this fanbase forever. We saw the draft room video last year JD suspected the Steelers would come up for Jones, Jets could use a LT, didn’t do anything about it. He asked Jon who his top 3 were and took the first guy even though they could have used a TE , the second prospect of the three, more than the DE he took. He’s a stick and pick BPA guy. anything can happen of course and an OT could be the BPA but in that range it would not surprise me if Bowers and Verse are in play. The Jets scouts thought Mayer was the 16th best prospect last year I think they may have Bowers higher. Maybe. Add to that the win now strategy and I think draft day should be pretty amusing around here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may take a bit of time to develop but he could be a steal in the 3rd round. He also seems to be well built for a man blocking line with less motion. The type of scheme that Rodgers likes. Since the Jets already have a starting OT on both sides, they may have the time to develop a prospect like BF for the pro game. https://www.bigblueview.com/2024/3/3/24089198/2024-nfl-draft-prospect-profile-blake-fisher-ot-notre-dame-scouting-report-ny-giants#:~:text=It isn't exactly uncommon,their right tackle%2C Blake Fisher. Another I like is Matt Goncalves https://www.bigblueview.com/2024/3/3/24089198/2024-nfl-draft-prospect-profile-blake-fisher-ot-notre-dame-scouting-report-ny-giants#:~:text=It isn't exactly uncommon,their right tackle%2C Blake Fisher. I'd expect him to be available in the 3rd round. I also see him as very versatile. Probably not ideal on the left side, but at least quick enough to play RT and stout enough to play RG or LG. Again... With some development, he could be a starting quality OL player. Just some ideas if the take a pass catcher WR/OT in the 1st at 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was terrified Aaron was going to sign him to be the starter but then Tyron Smith saved us from that crapshow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
