Not buying the rumor. The Jets would have to be making a move on an elite player in order to even consider trading up and whatever else Beckham is he clearly is not an elite player.
I'm sorry this is the dumbest rumor I've heard yet. Why trade up to get a WR in the deepest WR draft ever?
I agree 100%. If the target is top 10, it's to grab any one of these five. Maybe you consider getting to 10-12 for Evans if he's available there.
I don't think the Jets will end up trading up..and if they do it's likely outside of the top 10. That said I worry quite a bit about their being a run on WR's before the Jet pick. Everybody wants to talk about how deep the WR class is...and maybe thats true..but it's a position that is difficult to project.We've had our fair share of non 1st round misses at WR.Let's face it...this is not an evaluating strength for the Jets. The need is absolutely glaring.Frankly I'd rather the team select one of the safer sure-fire WRs in round 1 & take my chances with filling other needs later in the draft. Maybe all this late Beckham love is fabricated..but I don't think it is. He's climbing draft boards for a reason & it's not b/c of his 40 or any measurable.He's one of the best route runners in the class as well as one of the best after the catch. That makes him a pretty safe bet. And despite what others may think he IS an elite level prospect.
At this point we don't know what the hell to believe ... I just read something with brandon cooks saying that he feels like the jets are pushing for him and seem really interested ... Who know what to believe lol
And I just read an article that Marquise Lee would absolutely love to join the Jets and said the Jets were "very" interested lol
Exactly ... I read the same thing as well with lee ... With OBJ, Cooks, and Lee ... Who knows! Watch all of this talk with these 3 mean nothing and we end up trading up for watkins or evans ... That would be pretty funny although I doubt it cause we would have to mortgage a ton of our future
I hope it is just BS. Trading up would be dumb, I like OBJ but not as a top ten pick and not if we have to give up additional assets for him,
He's earned the benefit of the doubt to date, but with all the holes and needs the Jets have, trading up in this draft for one player is nuts. The only player/position the Jets should consider trading up for is Teddy Bridgewater/QB. If he trades up for a WR (Watkins or Evans or even Beckham), I will lose practically all respect for and trust in him. If he trades up for Mack, I would only be slightly less pissed. I'd be thrilled to have either Watkins, Mack or Beckham on the Jets, but not at the price of multiple picks. Hopefully, Idzik is smarter than that.
Another reason this seems suspicious is that the Jets FO has been pretty good and keeping things under wraps but now it leaks that they are planning to move up?
Theres a possibility that the comp chart goes out the window this class.Teams looking to move up can leverage the depth of this class which puts more value on individual picks.Could make for some bargain trade ups.
hahahahaha... this would be very funny. Im sure this place would crash if Idzik drafted Beckham, aka flounder, let alone traded up for him.
Apparently, Rapoport doesn't care what his batting average is on stories like this. This has got to be BS. Otherwise, we are idiots. A sample of his work from 2013: http://www.steelersdepot.com/2013/11/steelers-qb-ben-roethlisberger-says-ian-rapoport-report-is-bs/
