    30.2%
  2. Brock Bowers (TE)

    17.5%
  3. Fashanu or another OL

    Kind of a non story, but I just got a notification that JD would prefer to trade down to get more early picks.

    Sent from my genius mind.

    There's a better chance of Woody suddenly becoming one of the league's great owners than there is the Jets O-line rising to the level of mediocrity. Douglas has had 5 years to fix the O-line, which was supposed to be the first thing he was going to do as the GM. He's somehow made it worse than it was before he got here. It's not just going to magically fix itself this offseason.

    They might as well just hold up a sign saying that the McDonald pick was a terrible decision because we know they're never just going to come out and say it out loud. He's going to play about as much as he did last year, maybe a little more, and then we'll be hearing all offseason next year about how great a player he is and how he's going to really come on next season. Lather, rinse, and repeat.

    It really is amazing. If Douglas hadn't knocked that one draft completely out of the park, he'd probably be fired by now.

    The other half of that is, would Lazard have caught it?

    A. As of now we have 1.4 million dollars, and we'll need at least 6 million to sign our draft picks. Space will have to be made somewhere and its unlikely that we sign anymore notable FAs.

    B. If we plan on going tackle at 10 or 72 than Behktiari isn't coming. Even if we don't draft a tackle we probably cant afford him without borrowing more from next year.

    c. I assume WMD will play rotational snaps, but probably not be a starter unless he breaks out.

    That's ignores the fact that Lazard would probably have dropped the ball. Have you thought of the possibility that Zach didn't throw it to Lazard because he didn't trust him to catch it?

    I disagree. T. Smith is still a top 10 LT in the NFL, and Moses isn't too far behind. Tippman is solid and if AVT is healthy, he is too. Unless Simplson proves to be a disaster, or Smith can't stay healthy for at least 10 games, the OL should be solid/average at worst, and has a chance to be very good.

    If that was his reason for not throwing it, then he shouldn't be playing quarterback. "He's wide open but he'll probably drop it so I'm gonna take the sack." You might want to reconsider that one.

    Is everyone ready for the trade up? That's the latest chatter in Jets land. Targeting are MHJ or Nabers, future assets be damned.

    Nonsense. I have seen lots of QB not throw to a WR because they don't trust them.

    Wide open in the endzone? First of all it's relatively rare that a receiver is wide open in the endzone. Second, any good QB throws the ball to said wide open receiver regardless who it is. Third, it's bang/bang pressure in his face. The last thing he's thinking is "I don't trust Lazard, I'll take the sack". Fourth, even if he did... It's the absolute WRONG decision. Why? Because even if Lazard did drop it, at least there was no loss on the play as opposed to taking the sack.
    I'll quote you here, "Nonsense".

    I wouldn't be surprised if he did. He has only traded up in the first round and now his seat is on fire.

    Do it and don’t think twice about it. Rookie in 2026 would be walking into GW MHJR/Nabers/Rome and Breece. When have we ever put talent around our rookie qb? No brainer.

    I guess this would be a sign of progress since it would at least be focusing on the offensive side of the ball instead of taking yet another defensive tackle or end.

    Would still be yet another trademark decision by our incompetent GM. It's going to be awfully hard for that new receiver to get the ball when Rodgers and Taylor are knocked out because this O-line can't protect them and they're stuck with Wilson throwing them the ball by midseason.

    That would require Zach to know where to throw the ball in the first place. Zach’s problem is completely mental, as in he either doesn’t put in the time to learn the mental game or he doesn’t have the brain capacity to understand it.

    Imagine trading up and not taking Joe Alt. Wheeee!

    We resigned Garrett and Breece already?

    If JD trades up, it would be the worst possible move he could make, especially considering the Jets cap and roster situation for next season. Of course, he may not care about next season, but then that means that he is in total panic mode, and is selling out his principles. Anyone worth a damn who truly believes in his principles wouldn't abandon them because his job was on the line, unless they were totally screwed up to begin with. Building from the lines out is a sound principle, as is building primarily through the draft, and building a sustainable winner. He already sold out on the last principle (unless it was forced upon him by Woody). If he hopes to have a job in the NFL as a GM in the future, he'd better not sell out on his other two principles, or he can just go ahead and retire from football, and go sell real estate or used cars.

    Joe Alt didn't play in the Senior Bowl. Imagine all this hand-wringing and daydreaming and the Jets end up drafting Fuaga at 10 like was rumored a month ago.
