I have a bad feeling that Macc is going to get "cute" and draft another "gem" for the "D". The only "D" pick he should make in the 1st round is if Garrett somehow falls through to us. Other than that, he should grab Watson, Kubisky, or Kizer, Failing that, Fournette.
Don't kid yourself our defense needs all the help it can get. Also the value and depth in this draft is at OLB, S, and CB.
I disagree, especially regarding Kizer. If he takes Kizer at #6 I will want him fired before the next team picks. The offense definitely needs to be addressed, but imo not at the cost of taking a lesser player. Trubisky is definitely a lesser player. Kizer isn't even in the same area code. Depending upon who is there at #6, Watson and Fournette could quite possibly be lesser players as well.
Like QBs safeties can be difficult to evaluate in the draft. Unless you are talking about a freak like Sean Taylor it could be a high risk / high reward kind of pick. If Garret doesn't drop I would really like to trade down in this draft.
It depends on how Kizer (and Watson, et. al.) grade out with more scrutiny. I'm holding onto my opinion that if they can get their FQB at #6 they should do it. At this point I think that guy is Watson, less convinced its Trubisky or Kizer. If Watson isn't there, I hope Fournette or Cook are and I would take either - at this point I don't know who would be better, I go back and forth. The other exception I would make is if Garrett falls, which he won't. After we improve the offense with a new QB or stud RB, then the BPA for RB (if not already picked), OL, Edge, DB. The defense isn't as bad as the offense, so that dictates what we should focus on. And no, I'm NOT saying draft a guy on offense who sucks just because we need one, but IMO Watson and Fournette/Cook are the real deal. Moreover, if you pick OLB, DB early when this draft is deep in them, but not as deep in QBs, you lower your chances of improving the most important position on the team.
what i dont understand is how teams throwed the ball on ohio state ive been watching film on gareon conley , marshon lattimore and malik hooker are very good players , makes no sense .
No way no how for Kubitsky or Kiser, Fournette is my choice but happy with S, CB or OLB. There is some serious defensive talent we could use and get rid of our God awful secondary scrubs.
Probly a bunch of short throws that went for some good gains cause very few corners can actually tackle in this draft lol
Only options for Jets at 6 are Hooker, Adams, Williams, Davis, Foster, Watson, Mahomes imo. A trade down opens more possibilities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...emiahs-top-50-prospects-for-2017-nfl-draft-30 updated OJ Howard 7th player overall
He also has the TE from Miami at #12 The biggest drop off is at Safety where he has Hooker #3 overall and Buda Baker #28. As a guy who follows the Big Ten I can tell you that I wouldn't be disappointed with drafting Hooker and TJ Watt #1 and #2.
I start to like and understand the malik hooker pick our corners so bad that you need a deep safety with elite speed to make up for it.
The drop off in talent for the FS position is astronomical in this draft. Budda Baker is really good, but he's no where near as athletic and rangy as Hooker. A good FS prospect can mask a lot of secondary issues. The knock on Hooker is his inexperience, but he's a speedy athletic ballhawk that can track the ball down and has the instincts needed to play the game. Make him a better tackler with technique and repetition, and you have yourself an All Pro FS for the next 8 to 10 yrs. The Jets could still go get another CB in the draft in the later rounds, your secondary is then pretty much rebuilt, just needs depth. Seahawks did exactly that too. Jets can still grab a really good TE in the 2nd round, the talent drop-off isn't as HUGE as the FS position, but with Howard being so damn athletic and polished, it's hard to not say no to him at 6 too. Go for QB in 2018 and you have a young defense along with a young QB. No better combination to compete IMO. Continue to build and in 2019, the Jets maybe in the limelight and in prime position to truly compete for something special. That's the 3 year plan the Jets need right now IMO.
