    What are the red flags besides the drug test? I know he has work to do in the pass protecting but Wirfs wasn't the complete package either, and I heard too much of that word "combine" attached to Wirfs name and value. Don't get me wrong I thought we were going to take Wirfs but the more I look into it, I like Becton.

    Drug test isn't a flag for me. Everybody calls him boom or bust. They also say hig ceileing but also low floor. Wirfs was safer based on what I read that's all. I hope he shines.

    He doesn't have a birth certificate. He has a deed.

    What a freak of human nature!!!

    I’m all in to strive for greatness over the easy CYA decisions.

    Joe D knows the position and shows balls

    if he fails so be it.

    but I’m cool with this badass monster on the line

    hopefully he works hard at his craft

    Slim at 363 lbs hopefully they hit it right. I like the pick big Strong guy and can move.hopefully he starts at left tackle and plays well. Tomorrow wide receiver and then center actually in either order

    Becton is nasty too, we need that for our offensive line. Physicality, beating the shit out of the guy on the other-side, and doesn't take shit either.

    People like playmakers...if we traded all our picks for OBJ half the fan base would throw a party.

    I just read his floor is a right tackle starter which is not bad. Run blocking is already at nfl level so I trust they got the right guy that projects to tackle

    Remember when we passed on Warren Sapp and drafted Kyle Brady?You can say something like this with atleast 20 Jets draft busts..

    Becton and Thomas were the only true LT's...Wirfs and Wills have to move to LT.

    Becton has all the necessary tools to be an Ogden or Mckinney. His numbers are better than Trent Brown.

    Coach Pollack needs to do his job and coach him up. Stay in shape and learn better technique. That's our staffs job.

    Joe Douglas got a choice between two top tackle prospects. That’s all you can ask for. Let him do his thing.
