It’s the correct team building pick.  And he’s a LT not RT, it’s the right move.  And they have nice flexibility now on days 2 and 3.  And cross LT off the list next year.  

 

Alt is a LT, but he’ll move to the right side.

This sh*t is unbelievable, they gave this bald fat **** 6 years to build a OL he missed pretty much every pick and FA and they trust him again to take a backup OL with the 11 pick?

This guy should've been fired 2 years ago when we knew ZW was a bust

nice pick.  may be a need this year and a core piece for the future.

liked him more than latham.  

and didn't want a TE.  once the WRs went off the board, this is the move i would have made.  and picked up a 4th and 5th for a 6th.  well done

Also LT vs RT.  But yes i agree.  We have a legit LT again.  I knew douglas wasn’t messing around.

We went down 1 spot.

If the Vikings are moving up to get their qb, they must fear other teams taking him. If that's the case, why take a sh*t deal? If I'm the Broncos I'm pulling out the minute Jets accept such a bad offer verbally, knowing there must be no other competition lol. The Broncos must have also made a bad offer but why the Jets didn't up the ante, I don't know.

I guess JD must want to use the extra ammo to move back up for his favorite WR. I don't know that we can turn a bunch of 4ths and 5ths into something good, though

This league is idiotic, mccathy and nix top 12 picks.  just great for lower to mid teams in this round, actual top end players fall to them.

This is why I wanted us to be drafting later. Top 5 OL will be there at 18+

If I were JD, I’d have taken the 23rd pick + higher additional comp. Oh well.

Once Rome was gone, I think the jets did the right thing. Would have slightly preferred Fuaga but I also like Fashanu 

Had his choice of bowers and those 3 tackles.  Fashanu is older, turns 24 this year and allegedly had medical flags.  Fuaga is solid but a Rt.  So this pick is kinda the opposite of becton, he chose the prototypical LT prospect.

I kind of feel relieved in a way.  It would stink to not invest in the OL after what we've dealt with the past few years.  Add a good guy each year.  Olu, AVT and Tippy (and his glorious head of hair - @JustInFudge TM) are the foundation.

EDIT: Also, we badly needed an OT and this is a good draft for OT.  Glad we took one.  Opportunity met need and we didn't overthink it.
