    Wirfs, Jeudy or Lamb should have been the pick. Don’t like it at all. This guy better be a fuckin stud because we passed on at least two IMO.

    This is a great pick, He’s the best tackle in the draft. All the people crying for OL, well we got it now. And he has more upside then Wirfs so let’s not here that BS. This was the pick.

    Watching clips of him in pass protection, once he contact is made and he plants himself, he does NOT get moved back. No one will be able to bull rush this guy. And he's got some decent speed and agility for a o-lineman.

    Get the heck out of here. If they took a WR over this guy they would have gotten killed. Those two guys weren’t even the first WR to go. Get lost with that nonsense.

    Find the interview Becton gave on NFL radio around the time the reports came out about him talking with the Jets. He impressed me with this interview and that was what made me call him to the Jets weeks ago.

    He can play multiple positions and is willing to.

    Despite his weed mistake, he’s a smart player.

    Is he playing RT in 2020?

    Because as we all know, the only star receivers are the ones that get drafted first.

    Bell has to be the happiest guy on the roster right now. Expecting a bounce back year for Bell. Need to get another lineman in the 3rd or so.

    Becton plays tackle. Gase is unable to call running play that don’t involve running between the center and guard.

  12. Becton was the one OT i was willing to take instead of the WRs. Thrilled w the pick.Perfect for the new wide spllits.And perfect style OL for Darnold’s movement in & out of the pocket

    Becton has the potential to be “the next one”. Hill.Powell.Ferguson.

    I was wondering when the Gase bashing would come out. Maybe they couldn’t run to outside because their tackles were not capable of executing those plays.

    Pretty sure you can run in between a tackle and a guard. Cannot let the f7 destroy the gaps. Perhaps this also opens up the playbook

    I’m sorry but I disagree about the WR. . Both WR are still there at pick 15. JD must have seen something more about Becton than Swift.

    I know, I was being sarcastic. Like I said there were at least three other guys I would have rather had and I think two of them are going to be household names throughout their entire careers. I’m gonna root for him that’s for god damn sure but I have my doubts.

    It was down to Wirfs vs Becton for me. Would've preferred Wirfs, but Becton has all pro potential. As JD's first draft pick, I am sure he will give him tons of tips. We are a better team at running the football, no doubt about that.

    Perhaps some of these receivers drop.

    Pretty worried about Lamb dropping to 18 right now...

    I mean Becton fits our zone scheme really well. I wanted Wills and Thomas over him but they were gone. I think the Jets actually put him in the best chance to succeed based on fit. Also our wonderful OL coach (name escapes me) has talent to work with so he better show us what he did successfully in Dallas
