It will be interesting to see which side of the ball gets the most attention. A lot of critics are saying Newsome or Farley at 23. My gut is telling me JD will take a RT. I would prefer them taking Humphry which would allow Mcgovern to move over to guard and solve two positions. Saleh is a defensive minded coach so I can see him wanting to get a CB and edge rusher. I'm of the believe we should just load up on offensive positions. I can't remember who said it on this board but "our offense is as boring as watching to old people fuck" which I believe summed up the Jets offense perfectly. With so many needs it is just going to be a challenge to address both sides of the ball completely. And this is why I thought maybe holding on to Sam would be a smart move. By having so many picks with trading our #1 we could finally assemble a team where QBs would want to go.
If they're taking a QB at 2 they better overload on that side of the ball because nobody available there is going to carry the Jets his first couple of seasons.
Gotta heavily address offense imo. It's one thing to be a bad team but the Jets have been a bad AND boring team for as long as I can remember. I'm tired of trotting out offenses that look like they're playing in the 50's.
I agree with the rest. If we take Wilson we gotta do him a solid and try and get him help right away.
It has to be offense. The offensive side of the ball has been neglected by this franchise for far too long. It's a QB-driven league. We're taking a QB at two, now get him some help so he can take us where we all want to go.
Offense. I said this in another thread but I’ll repeat it here. I know we have holes at CB and LB but there are still plenty of viable CB options in FA that can hold the fort down for a year and there are plenty of mid-late round LB prospects that have potential to develop into capable starters with Saleh’s tutelage. Out of 23, 34, 66, and 86, I want 3 of those to go towards offense. WR, OL, RB, TE, idc. Give Zach enough support around him so that he has a legit chance to succeed.
Totally agree, we need offensive fire power, but our DB situation is pretty unproven/poor. I wouldn't be surprised if its a DB at 23 if not a move up for a big fatty oline man.
I agree - this draft needs to tilt offense especially OL. I anticipate JD will be going OL at 23 assuming his guy is there. I also think JD may attempt to trade up a few spots for his preferred OL. However that being said, if a trade falls through and his preferred OL is off the board at 23 I believe he will go defense rather than a RB/WR. CB will be preferred over EDGE based on where the specific player is ranked on his board. In other words if the CBs he likes at that spot are gone he’ll consider EDGE players. If 23 does go defense look for 34 to go OL ( the next tier ). I would advise everyone ( and I’ve been guilty myself of this ) not to overreact negatively without considering the player over the position. This is a marathon not a sprint and Rome wasn’t built in a day. JD knows full well he can’t let Wilson down the same way Mac let Darnold down ...... I think he’s fully prepared for a productive draft.
At 23, it depends on who's available. I'm not reaching for an OL or skill position player if a higher rated CB can be had. We have 8 picks after tonight to address the offense. All things equal, I'd go offense.
Emotionally I agree with you but pragmatically we have too many holes all over the roster to not go BPA. Plus you can get WR's later in the draft (RB's too, to a degree).
Got to be offense screw the defense Saleh is a defensive guru he can figure it out for a year this draft got to be about Zach Wilson or he will end up another ruined QB.
JD needs to trade back from 34 and acquire a high third round pick, there are still a lot of good football players left and he can’t go a whole round(3) without a selection. Pick 34 is going to give us a good draft because it will give us another plug and play day one starter. However, I think Joe can move back 5 spots, acquire a 3rd round pick as well, giving Jets an opportunity to get 4 day one starters for this year. I would go offense with 2nd round pick and defense with 3rd if he traded back .
