    Fantastic move. Almost no downside.

    Great move!

    Late pick, low salary. Love it!

    He wasn't looking good to make Texans roster, would have been free Tuesday night

    Good move, the old low risk/high reward deal.

    He's not great but he's better than our other options. I'm a fan of this given the low compensation.

    I'd imagine this is a move more to make sure we don't get gashed off tackle as it is for an edge rusher.

    Outstanding. i did not expect a big splash and rightfully so. JD wastes no time. Added needed help to this young team with zero downside. Can't wait for the JD critics to rush to the keyboard and find some fault with this move.

    Now all of a sudden the moron view of “oh he was getting cut anyway, we wasted a big sixth rounder on him,” will start.

    I'm SO fired up!!!!

    This was a post I made yesterday on another Jets forum...

    JD is a much better GM than me because I would've given away both 4th round picks for this BEAST and 2019 Buffalo be was apart of a top 3 NFL D!

    Hard to see fault for a 6th round pick. He's instantly better than what they had left. Given its now his 4th team hopefully he'll get that he's way past living off his 1st round status.

    Love it. A 6th rounder for a relatively seasoned veteran. With the CLawson & VCurry losses, - we HAD to do it. SLawson stats are actually pretty much same to VCurry.
    Jets had three 6th round picks coming up in 2022. The one they are trading was originally SF from the Jordan Willis trade to the 49ers.

    Shaq Lawson was drafted 19th when Darron Lee was drafted 20th in 2016.

    If Robert Salah can't get anything out of him, - this guy is washed up.

    A pass rusher that doesn’t rush the passer

    6 rd pick I guess, can’t expect much

    you ain't getting 4-7 sacks per season from ANY 6th rounder.
    Great play, Joey!

    JD is very decisive and moves quickly.
    I love it.
