I disagree. For the first time in a loooong time, the Jets have a stacked roster, and we're bound to lose some good young prospects that the Jets would keep and look to develop otherwise. We aren't so stacked that all of the depth is set for the future, however. There are veteran players that we will keep for this season because we are all in, but who most likely will be gone next season (Mosely, Uzomah, Lawson, Brown, Whitehead, Hardman, Huff, Cobb, Jefferson, Woods, McGovern, Amos, and A. Davis). We will need young players to fill a number of those spots. Some of the UDFAs that we began developing this offseason, could possibly develop into capable backups or starters next season, but won't be able to help us if we lose them to another team. We will have limited cap space, and probably already down our 1st round pick to GB and I think our 6th round pick was also traded.
I know, I agree, but I still think it's a waste. He better be one of the best blockers in the history of the NFL and be involved 80% of the time for us to keep him. I'd be shocked too, but I'm hoping for the best. LOL
Sorry that was supposed to say 5 WRs. Typo. And YOU wouldn't keep Bawden but he's going to be on this team. Echols is the primary backup Edge CB and I guess Moreland or Hardee would be the backup spot CB. I really wouldnt be surprised to see this position addressed on Tues or Wed
I don’t see a need for Yeboah at all. With CJ, Conklin and Ruckert clearly ahead of him, when would he see the field. If i keep a 4th id much rather it be Kuntz because the upside is huge. Yeboah is like Knight, just another JAG
Great effort, Craig. Agree with almost all of it! I would keep Kuntz over Yeboah, but we have discussed that at length. I hope they keep Brownlee over Erickson despite his 2 TDs last night. The only guy who I think will make it but not real deserving is RB Michael Carter. He has looked bad now for over a year. Last night, he had good blocking on his only decent run but did little with it. Then,he abused by Simmons on a pass rush. If Carter makes the team this year (likely), it might be his last hurrah with the jets. He hasn't shown squat for a while. Lastly, I know he won't make the roster or maybe even the practice squad, but DE/LB Claudin Cherelus has some speed. He came around the corner on one pass rush last night like he was shot out of a cannon. I had to look his number up just to see who he was. Might be a good addition to practice squad.
Agree completely with your points and one of the great reasons why you want to always protect key draft choices all being equal. We have a young team that will well get younger next year. So having a strong bench is crucial, and some of the young talent that we will have to let go this year are good enough to be contributors on other teams, as they would be on ours behind the vets.
OK, 5 WRs makes more sense. Yes, I have accepted that the Jets will keep Bawden, but I don't have to like it. I just couldn't bring myself to type his name in and keep him on the roster. LOL Seriously, as I was filling out the roster I initially had Bawden in there, but kept thinking I had forgotten a RB, and I had. It was Izzy. So when I had to put Izzy on the roster, I just didn't want to type Bawden's name on the roster or have to cut anyone else that I thought the Jets should keep. I hope that I'm wrong, but I think the Jets will be making big mistake in keeping Bawden over any one of Gipson, Brownlee, Dean, Yeboah, or Surratt, and maybe Kuntz as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see it addressed on Tues. or Wed., either, but wouldn't be surprised if nothing was done, either. Sauce, Reed, Carter, Echols, and Hardee are set, so at best, we're only talking about one player. Moreland has played well in preseason action and in TC, and I think deserves a place on the roster. He has good speed, ball skills, and can play outside or in the slot. If Guidry weren't injured, I think he'd be the #6 CB. I had initially forgotten about Carter when I said that the Jets might keep only 5 CBs. It will definitely be 6. I will be stunned if Hall is still on the roster.
I disagree. I think Yeboah is more than a JAG. Yeboah is good. He's had a very good TC and preseason, and is also good on STs. Uzomah will most likely be gone after this season. Conklin may be gone within a couple of years. Ruckert. Yeboah and Kuntz or Jenkins could be a very good TE corps next season.
Thanks. We can agree to disagree on Kuntz over Yeboah, but I understand why you would choose Kuntz. I think they will keep Brownlee over Erickson, and hope they will. I just threw that out there, because he's a good player and a veteran, which Rodgers, Hackett, and Saleh might feel more comfortable with than a rookie UDFA in an "all in" year. I think Cherelus will definitely go onto the PS unless he is claimed by another team, which I doubt.
I think the likelihood of these 4 guys getting claimed off waivers guess in this order: Kuntz Gibson Brownlee yeboah KY has been in this league 2 years and has never been claimed off the PS - I don't think so anyway. I like him; TEs are notoriously slow to acclimate to the NFL. But I don't think he's shown anything special just yet. Kuntz is 6'8" and unknown. Just think some team would take a flier on him.
I agree with that order. I think KY hasn't been claimed before because he wasn't playing at a very high level. I agree that TEs are notoriously about being slow to acclimate to the NFL. There have been a number of high profile TEs taken over the last several years who didn't light it up their first year or so. I think that he wasn't signed by another team because he was still struggling with route running and blocking, but I see a big difference in him this year. He has obviously worked hard and it has come together for him. He has pretty good size 6'4" and speed too, and he's only 24. His blocking and route running are pretty good and he's had a TD or two in preseason action, and around 4-7 in TC. I also agree that someone will take a flyer on Kuntz because of his size, speed and off-the-charts athleticism.
Keep an eye on the waiver wire for 3 positions. CB, Tackle, and Backup QB if some talent is cut at those spots, it would make a nice addition and kinda round out the roster
First 2 I agree. But I doubt they are gonna look for a QB. I think the CS is ok with Wilson stepping in and holding fort for a few weeks. If AR goes down with a serious injury, they ain't winning shit anyway.
there is zero chance lawson gets cut. I dont see MC getting cut either, but that’s more to do with current depth and health. If Izzy was 100% ready, MC could be a casualty if a spot was needed elsewhere.
I agree with your breakdown this is what I’ve been thinking for a bit. On offense it’s gonna come down to keeping either Brownlee or Kuntz. Tough choice but I think Brownlee gets the nod with Davis gone. Kuntz can’t block well at this stage, and the TE position is deep. On D I think we fine with only 4 LBs, as the edge position is almost quasi DE/LB hybrid depending on formation. Id keep one more DB with Hardee being more of a specialist. Could use on Dean or Converse, or just use the spot for Kuntz instead going with 26 spots for O. I am hoping we right on only 9 OL. 10 would kill another spot, but Warren being kinda a redshirt makes it tough.
I don’t understand why we not trying to trade Carter. Dances way too much, I’m not seeing any explosion, and doesn’t offer much on pass pro. Wr have acquired 4 more RBs since drafting Carter as he wasn’t producing. Move on.
