32EBoozer Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Corley wasn’t at the Senior Bowl, NFL Combine nor was he in for a Top 30 visit. 31 teams attended his Pro Day…. But was that & some Conference USA tape all it took for the “no matter what” texts? I am just trying to figure out how Jets brass determined MC the number 4 WR prospect… over Tez Walker, Burton, Roman Wilson, Troy Franklin, Malik Washington & Johnny Wilson from much larger schools in much more competitive conferences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Integrity28 Posted April 28 Popular Post Share Posted April 28 A lot of the WRs in the mid-tier of this draft are lean, small… Malachi Corley is built different, for contact. These guys seemed to have a strategic intent going into this draft. I ain’t mad. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32EBoozer Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 I didn’t have a horse in this other than potential replacement for Williams/ Lazard with high end speed and catch radius. For me, Walker was the most viable selection. Just curious what JD was making this decision based on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one of many possibilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 They have scouts watching all of these guys. The area scout pounded the table for him as a later round reciever, Joe D watched the tape and fell in love w/ him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corley was at the Senior Bowl. In fact, the first thing I said to anyone about any player was Corley before I even sat down. Saw him on the field warming up and said "JFC, Malachi Corley is twice as big as I thought he was". We know now of course that he's been going all out to get bigger and it's working. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys seemed to have a strategic intent going into this draft. I ain’t mad. Yep! It wasn’t a sexy draft but many of us would be happy with some hard nosed football after years of being pushed around. The Jets seemed intent this offseason on adding: - Power (Simpson, Moses, Allen, Davis) - Pass Protection (LT Smith - 2nd lowest pressure rate last year; LT Fashanu - 0 career sacks in the Big Ten) - Competitive Fight (WR Williams - #1 contested catch rate in NFL; WR Corley - “YAC King”; CB Stiggers - unheralded journey to NFL) Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t but this offseason seems like a JD led strategic plan with a level of cohesiveness we haven’t really seen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDown Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 If I'm being honest, "no matter what" seems like a silly and unrealistic approach to draft strategy. They have a board with players ranked. They don't know exactly how others teams' boards look, and they can't control who other teams select or move up for. If a player moves into a specific range and presents great value, you can try to jump up to get him, but it's far from certain that it WILL happen. What if Corley was taken with the first pick in the 2nd? "No matter what" is honestly kind of childish and naive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this weighs a lot with this group. Do they come in and kiss the ring? Are they nice, self-motivated lads? After getting burned by Becton, Mims, and Moore, Saleh and Douglas put a ton of weight on how nice and deferential a prospect is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
