The Jets have essentially traded themselves right out of the 4th round.

[ARodJetsFan]

I can see trading down once - but trading down twice - just about completely out of the 4th round when we had three 4th round picks?

There was nobody available that they liked with 4th round grades??

Are we cash-strapped or something?

Sorry, but I'm scratching my head right now.

[ARodJetsFan]

A RB at the very tail end of the 4th round....IDK, do they think they're going to get better value in the 5th round?

I guess they have SOME kind of a plan, but this seems counter-productive to me.

Turning a late 4th into a late 3rd(at worst), pre-comp picks is a great move.  Especially if you're operating under the assumption that next year is where we take our big swing on a QB, getting more ammo is a win.  I'm always in favor of moves like this.  

As far as the other trade, it's hard to judge until we know what we walk away with.  The value at least makes sense.  

[Sonny Werblin]

I am stoked that the jets drafted braelom allen. Perfect compliment yo breece and a force at the goal line. Plus, he is only 20.

[slimjasi]

They just “essentially” drafted a RB in the 4th round 

[Barry McCockinner]

love to see JD being flexible moving around the board.

[RutgersJetFan]

Two 4th's in exchange for a 3rd and two 5th's. If one views 50 spots between the late 4th and 5th as negligible, and depending on the position and year sometimes it is, the third is what justifies it. 

The thing I hate about it all is he went textbook chart with it all and like, come on, Jets are in a do-or-die year and they need players. If they were going to gamble with mid-rounders it's way more easy to stomach if they were ripping others off but they aren't.

The first trade was a head scratcher, but better once they flipped it for a 25 3rd (potential trade deadline ammo). The trade with the 9ers makes sense value wise but improbably would have stuck and picked. Let’s see what happens though.

They traded three times.

So we're punting on Izzy completely then?

JD now has his Becton replacement in the 1st, his Mims/EMoore replacement in the 3rd, and now his Izzy/Carter replacement in the 4th too?

[ARodJetsFan]

I just saw where one of these trades netted us a 2025 3rd round pick, that makes me feel a little better.

Thanks I missed that initially, feel a little better about it.

You need 3 RBs. Quality depth is the goal, but Izzy is more like Breece. Braelon is s big back so he adds a different dimension to the position.

[PS17]

Picking up a third was great. The other two trades I could have down without. Two 4ths >>>> two late 5ths and a 6th 

[Greenseed4]

1. Traded with GB for a 4th and 6th

2. Traded with DET for future 3rd  

3. Traded with SF for two 5ths

[UntouchableCrew]

Helps draw two conclusions:

1) They don't think there's a huge gap between the players available now the the players likely to be available in the 5th and 6th.

2) Joe isn't that worried about his job security and the "he's mortgaging the future" people look silly when he's acquiring future 3rds.

What is interesting about these trades is that is mimics a draft of the good teams with comp picks.  Trading back to the later part of the round and adding more later round picks similar to having late round comp picks. 

The Jets are practicing for future years on how to draft with a later in the round pick and some comp picks. 😉

Does JD think there's a day 4 of the draft?

Why are they punting on Izzy? 3 RBs will play meaningful snaps

[JiFtheOracle]

Weird strategy to say the least.

totally different type of back. Seems like they're going for complimentary type picks w/Corley & Allen. Both players where we have great starters but different types of players for situational stuff.

If everything goes to plan and the offense is running as we hope, this jets team should be in the top 5 in rushing attempts. Rodgers isn't throwing for 4500-5k yards. 3500-3800 yards seems pretty realistic, this is an offense that will run more than it passes. if this offense runs as it should, there will be a lot of rushing attempts to hand out. The days of RBs getting 400 attempts are gone, you need good depth at the position.

Don’t all draft picks essentially replace someone?  Isn’t that the point?

you love to see it!

[Green Truth]

Corley better be great. "Run Angry" you better get open and catch the football. I am not hot on basically almost D-2 school WR's.

Trade away the whole 4th round for a running back that looks like he runs in mud. Make the 4th round picks and bring in competition for the backend trash on this team. Trade away the highest 4th to move down into the super trash realm, when you trade your next 4th for a 3rd next year.

These moves will get this man fired if Rodgers does not save him.

Nobody is breaking the bank to move up in the fourth round.

Name me a GM who has ever gotten fired the following year BECAUSE he 'didn't hit' on mid to late round picks as defined by significantly contributing their rookie years.

At the top of the 3rd, Corley was a good value pick at a position of need for the Jets, someone who will help the Offense move the chains and complement what Rodgers likes to do.

Instant contributors in the 4th & later rounds tend to be special teams contributors or someone who fills a glaring situational need.

JD's seat is smoldering after today.  What an absolute disaster. Now trading JFM. Rodgers is his only saving grace.

And that hopefully keeps Rodgers healthy. Would still like to see him break 4k yards.

Rodgers has only surpassed 4500 yards once. At his best, he's always been a guy that hovered around the 4k-4200 yard range that killed you in the red zone with his ability to finish drives. At his age, hard to think we'll get prime AR numbers. Hes not what he used to be and people forget that rodgers didn't have a 300 yard game for the last season and a half with the packers. I think if we get what this coaching staff wants, you'll have a high end game manager that can go in and finish drives in the red zone.
