    Davis is a solid but unspectacular WR. The Jets need someone that is spectacular.

    Wilson does enough things well to have a high floor. But, some say his skill set is too similar to Moore's. I've thought of him as the one who can make an impact in year 1 and become better in future years. A notch below Chase and Jefferson, but those guys don't come along every year.

    i agree with both of y’all, but to lump him in with Mims and that guy hasn’t done a thing in the NFL close to Davis is a little disrespectful. He can be a very solid #2 within the right offense and QB play. As long as he is healthy he can produce and let’s hope this year he does, because he’s gonna have even more young guys around him if we draft two WRs which we should at min

    Offense sells tickets, defense wins championships.

    IDK which is more important but they’re both definitely important.

    JD has spent his last 5 premium picks on O. If D has any value, I expect JD to spend 3 out of his 4 picks on D this year.

    The last 5 Super Bowl winners have had higher ranked offenses than defenses. They also all had top 5 scoring offenses other than one, which had the 6th ranked scoring offense. Offense is a prerequisite to get there, defense might help you win it once you're there though.

    Cools story, bro.

    The “championship” aka the Super Super bowl is a single game. During that game, season long rankings and performances matter less.

    In 2011, the Giants had the 27th ranked D. Anyone who watched the big game knows the D won it for them.

    Offense sells tickets (season long excitement), defense wins championships (high pressure single game).

    They won't understand and refuse to even try.

    Mims looked like he didn't even belong on an NFL field last season.

    You don't even get to the big game without an elite offense. Can't win it if you're not even a part of it.

    Nothing you said goes against my point that the elite offense is essentially a prerequisite and an elite defense can help you go all the way. This is apparent if you look at the playoff teams from any given year and what their offensive or defensive rankings were for the season. Playoff teams are much more frequently the best offensive teams than the best defensive ones.

    It’s more that I think Davis can’t stay healthy.. he also isn’t that good.. Mims same story.. we need 2 new studs for Wilson to work with

    4-5 receiver at best given that he’s hardly on the field. He’s so injury prone. Even on the titans he was hurt a lot… if he can’t be on the field then what’s the point. Maybe he turns it around this year but I’m not holding my breath

    Correct. I agree that a good offense is needed to go along with a strong defense.

    I believe the offensive pieces are in place and need a season to further develop.

    I believe we desperately need defensive pieces and we will focus on those in the draft.

    Define “injury prone”. Every NFL player tend to miss a game or two every year once they’ve been in the league a couple years.

    yeah people don't realize barely being on the field and always playing from behind is not good for a QB. even with all the weapons in the world.
    We need a stud EDGE, a 1 tech DT, a LBer, a stud safety would be great. I don't think we need a CB though

    they are all top 10 in both so if anything it just says you need a complete team and can't be 1 sided.
    our defense was dead last nobody is winning a SB without a top 10 defense

    This is true but it works both ways so I'm not sure it's worth talking about. If your offense can stay on the field, maintain drives, and score a lot of points it makes things easier for your defense too.

    Sounds like a lot of pressure for a 2nd year QB

    High-scoring offenses are not always on the field for a long time. I actually think it is the opposite most of the time.

    Top of the list:
    Tennessee
    Ravens
    Packers

    Near the bottom:
    Rams

    It seems like if we want our O to have more TOP, we need to get a better run game.

    Edit: of the bottom 8 in TOP, 7 are picking in the top 10, 1 won the SB

    Sure, but just scoring a lot of points helps your defense too. It limits the options the opposing offense has and gives your defense more margin for error.
