Are we missing a deep threat?

Odd but I love the way Isiah Davis runs.  JD apparently does too.  He is an old skool RB.

I'm fine with either or but not both unless the jets after one year have decided abanikanda stinks.

I think thats where this is leading. Wouldnt be surprised he ends up on the practice squad.

I said this in the other thread, but last year they carried Breece, Cook, Izzy and Carter.   They can carry 4 RB without much trouble and they probably will carry one less TE with Uzomah gone.  Davis in particular seems like he will perform on specials and Izzy has handled kick returns.

Interesting thread.

The lack of a true deep threat is the reason I was so convinced that the Jets were going to pick Troy Franklin, who is a true field-stretcher.

I like Corley, but he's more of a gadget guy who catches short passes and then runs people over.

I would have been very tempted to double dip at WR with a guy like Franklin in the 4th.

That might have been the plan.  I like Corley, but he seems a strange choice.  They were sitting at 111 and traded out.  After Corley there were no WR for like 15 picks, but then Burton, Roman Wilson,  Jalen McMillan, Luke McCaffrey, Franklin and  then Javon Baker went 110 and they traded out.  Tez Walker, and Cowing were the only others to go in the 4th and Gould, Ainias Smith and Bub Means were the only ones to go in the 5th.

They didn't re-sign him.  He hurt his knee pretty badly in the joint practices last year and they carried him on IR all season.  Not sure if they didn't/don't want him back or if he is not ready to practice, but currently he is just a free agent.  His contract would be up because he came out in 2020, so he has been out for 4 seasons.

The #Jets have signed UDFA WR Tyler Harrell!

Another exciting playmaker on Offense who ran a 4.28 40 time at Miami’s Pro Day!

 

Tho very little college production

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/tyler-harrell-1.html

 

DRAFT PROFILE: BIO
Tyler Harrell camefrom Miami, Florida, where he attended high school and quickly established himself as a standout athlete. Rated as a four-star recruit by ESPN and recognized as the 53rd-best receiver nationally, Harrell displayed elite speed, running a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash and clocking a 10.37 in the 100m dash at the Florida state finals. His high school career was marked by significant achievements, including helping his team win two FHSAA Class-4A championships.

Harrell's collegiate journey began at Louisville, where he redshirted the 2018 season, recording two receptions for 36 yards. Over the following years, he saw sporadic play until his breakout season in 2021, where he caught 18 passes for 523 yards, averaging 29.1 yards per reception, and scored six touchdowns. This included a memorable 75-yard touchdown against Florida State. After Louisville, Harrell transferred to Alabama for the 2022 season, participating in six games and contributing modestly with two catches for 18 yards. In 2023, he concluded his collegiate career at Miami, playing in eight games and catching just four passes totaling 45 yards.

SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS

• Fits a zone system, can sift through oncoming traffic and explode through tiny creases and cutback lanes. Elite, darting stop-and-go acceleration. Dangerous in the open field.
• Fluid athlete with explosive burst and speed to stretch the field and breeze past defenders. Has a quick first step and gets to top speed in a hurry.
• Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #43. He wrote "At U of L, he was consistently hitting 24 mph on the GPS and had a 10-yard split of 1.41. His former coach there, Scott Satterfield, told The Athletic that Harrell is the fastest guy he’s ever timed and had him on his stopwatch at a 4.19 in the 40; he did 4.24 on the laser."
• Exceptional track speed, potential top performer in 40-yard - if only he had been invited
• Explosive off the line, excels in vertical routes and stacking defenders
• Has demonstrated ability to outperform top-tier cornerbacks in the ACC
• Shows potential to significantly impact games with increased targets
• Effective in clutch moments, showcasing notable playmaking in key games
• Proven high school track champion, bringing athleticism and competitiveness
• Performance at pro day supports his reputation as one of the fastest in draft history

SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES

• Super limited experience - has only ever had a single year of decent production
• Route-running, particularly intermediate and outside the hashes, needs development
• Reliance on speed over agility and evasive maneuvers in open field
• Limited exposure and production in slot receiver roles
• Transition to NFL may require substantial technique and playbook adjustments
• Average hands

SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY
Tyler Harrell's draft prospects are intriguing due to his crazy speed, marking him as a potential deep-threat specialist at the pro level. However, his limited experience and narrow route tree are significant concerns. Harrell has not been tested extensively across different offensive schemes and situations, which could limit his initial role.

NFL teams considering Harrell will weigh his potential impact against the need for significant coaching and scheme adjustments to broaden his skill set. His success in the NFL will likely depend on his ability to quickly learn and adapt to the complexities of professional defensive schemes while developing a more versatile route tree.

Overall, while Harrell's ceiling as a complete wide receiver may be capped by his current technical skills, his ability to provide an impact as a vertical threat could make him a possible late-round selection although most likely a PFA.

So draft is over. I like  the players we got. BUT, are we missing something? A DeepThreat? A WR that can stretch the field and open things up underneath. Garret Wislon is great but he's not a Tyrek Hill type WR who can get behind defenses. And Mike Williams never was either. he is a more possession type WR. Corely is a mid range gadget guy.  Right now our WR room is GW, M Williams, Corely, Lazard, Gipson, Brownlee, Charles. The last 3 are reserves/special team guys.  Does this suffice?  I was hoping we could get a burner.  Does JD sit on this or is there something in the works? 

deep threat?  man I will be happy when any Jet QB throws for over 200 yards....it has been years...

[FootballLove]

That's OK. We just traded our 'deep threat arm' to Denver.

And at this point, Aaron is closer to Pennington than Favre.

We'll be fiiiiine.
