for me its howard, hooker,thomas,adams in that order. draft anyone of them and you fill a hole for the next 8 years.
Lol. Hell yes! Let's build our dominant wall of 3techniques and be done with it. Who cares if there's no speed on the pass rush? We'll be laughing all the way to the bank when we're giving up 400 yards through the air but only 2.2 yards per carry for the next two years!
I have a feeling that if Fournette is still there at six,the Jets will be calling teams like Baltimore who have hard on for him, to see if they want to trade,
Thanks. I agree that Adams and Hooker are really special talents, and would prefer one of them or Howard, but I think Foster is right up there with him. I also like Williams a lot, just not as much as the other four.
That would be the right play. Fournette would be nice, but ultimately not someone who will propel the Jets to competing for a Super Bowl. A luxury the Jets shouldn't be spending their limited resources on.
I have a feeling Jonathan Allen will be drafted at 6. Bowles, in a shocking/genius move, will have Allen play nothing but OLB. What more could you ask for? BPA, pull a wild card, and make him play OLB. I love it.
I know you're joking, but this idea scared bejessus outta me Normally I'm for BPA drafting ex. Williams, but not this year. I believe Macc is now in full control of personnel and I expect he is smarter than drafting another D at 6. I want an offensive player, if nothing else just to have a confirmation that regime and thinking changed. I'll be beyond pissed with Allen.
If the Jets stay put at 6, I'd prefer Adams, and would settle for Hooker. I'd really love it if there was an OT worth taking at 6, but there isn't one. Of course, if there was, the 49ers or Bears would snatch him before he fell to 6, anyway, so it's just as well.
If this happens, and the Jets agree to trade down, they had better get a boatload in return. Even so, wherever they land in the 1st, will likely mean that all the "premium" talent is taken, and they will have forfeited a chance to add a real difference-maker. That would be a real disappointment, but as a Jets fan I expect it.
At 6 the Jets should take Mahomes or Watson if there. If not, Fournette or Howard. I don't think Adams or Hooker are locks to make THIS Jets team better than the ones I mentioned.
I don't think anyone likes Mahomes that high. Me being a Jets fan,I'm really not feeling Howard at 6. I would like them to draft Howard, but not this early. I've got Kyle Brady, Dustin Keller, Johnny Mitchell on the brain. Fournette looks like a guy who will last three to fours years because he will try to run over everybody and his body won't last. I'd rather get Hooker or Adams, because if you believe what the pundits say, they can change the game on defense.
Well, if they think he's FQB material - and he would have to be to taken that high - then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If he's your guy, you take him. For all his size and bruising power, Fournette actually can, and likes to, run away from people, that's what makes him so special. He's not John Riggins. Actually, his combination of power and speed remind me of Jim Brown. I'm not saying he't that good - yet - be he can be special, and the Jets could sure use something special. Hooker and Adams are no doubt excellent, but I don'r think they'll make the same impact on the Jets as a QB, elite RB or TE, or an elite pass rusher, all of which I would put ahead of any secondary player.
Kyle Brady and Anthony Becht were good players for us. Neither guy lit up the passing game but boy could they block. Sure, I would have preferred Warren Sapp but Hugh Douglas was a good player and there was a plan to address the DL when they passed up Sapp. Douglas did not fit Parcell's scheme so we only got a second rounder for him but there is no way we could have known that the Tuna was coming here when we made the pick.
I'm just curious...when did the game change that TEs no longer had to be able to catch? I know somewhere some "genius" figured this out and obviously had success so that everyone else copied him, but when was that?
Until recently when all of the rules changed, most tight ends did not catch all that many passes. A good blocking tight end is worth his weight in gold. Using a tight end to take a linebacker out of a play can help your RB or WR turn a three yard play into a 20+ yard play.
