    Why does everyone assume we’d have an opportunity to draft Darrishaw?

    IMO we should assume the Vikings take Darrishaw at 14 and the Raiders take AVT at 17.

    Most of the guard went low this draft. The reason people are specifically mentioning Davis is because he was taken with our Seattle 3rd rounder, at 86. I would have actually taken Kendrick Green before Davis, and he went one pick after Davis.

    I know, hence the other guy mentioning the QB we would never have drafted.

    Jets got best Guard in the draft Davis has knee issues your not drafting Davis when you need consistency on the offensive line Tucker is best Guard in the draft and can double at a RT if there are injuries this draft has to be a home run experimenting with injury prone players to get more players is stupid and will get a young QB to fail. Tucker is a sure as your getting he should be a pro bowler but worst you get is a career blue chip starter Jets can't afford to experiment on players so they can entertain the fan base with more picks. They need to get this right so far thats what they are doing Carter was a sensational pick they are making this draft about giving Zach Wilson a offense to succeed in somthing Darnold never got.

    I wanted both. And we should have drafted both. Instead we took Kellen Clemens *smh*.

    Fun fact, left tackles can play right tackle. It happens all the time.

    Fun fact, WR ‘a can play QB but you should probably draft a QB if that’s the position you are looking to fill.

    Well this is certainly breaking news to me, now this thread makes perfect sense! :rolleyes:

    Like I said in the day two draft thread... to definitively state that trading two picks that historically have a 50% chance of working out for the best player at your biggest position of need is a mistake and that we should have taken a three-year left tackle, moved him to the right where we already have a competent starter and relied on a third rounder to be your left side interior protection is stupid.

    It's only our biggest position of need because we didn't sign a good one last year or this year (with the most cap space in the league). With the picks he used to take Tucker, he could have three highly rated offensive lineman - that's a fact. If Tucker isn't significantly better than all three of them, he made a mistake - end of story.

    No, I’m saying and SAID Davis sucks at pass blocking. I don’t want him for the Jets and that goes triple with Wilson at QB.

    The mention of Wilson and his "golden labrum" was just another passive agressive attack on the kid. I really don't care but your attempt to claim otherwise is just bush. Par for the course with you. Shit is getting so old. Go buy your Wilson jersey. I'll PayPal you $10 to get you started.

    exactly. Legler thinks quantity is better than quality.

    be careful bickety....instead of buying a Wilson jersey, he might put your 10 bucks toward a Justin Fields Bears jersey.....:);)
