In regards to comp picks Brad breaks it down great right here. Jets can still get a 4th round comp pick for Huff regardless of how much we’ve spent thus far. It just has to happen before April 28th which I’m not sure it does. https://x.com/pff_brad/status/1773820285466161242?s=46&t=RCU1EI_2cEZzRLtLmi7Csg
Reddick probably isn't going to hit the snaps % anyways. The Jets didn't have one edge rusher go over 65% of the snaps last year
It’ll be interesting to see what they do. He’s played 74% of the snaps each of the past four seasons.
Guys, can we stop with the "possibly a 2nd" talk? No EDGE has eclipsed 65% of snaps since Saleh took over as HC. Here's 2021. (Highest EDGE defender was JFM: 60.22%) 2022. (Highest EDGE defender was Carl Lawson: 58.26%) 2023. (Highest EDGE defender was JJ: 65.79%) I would be shocked if Reddick gets to the 67.5% required for the pick to become a 2nd. While a 3rd round pick isn't something to scoff at, using a 2026 3rd rounder to acquire someone who's top 4 in sacks over the last 4 years is solid.
I’d be upset if he doesn’t reach that percentage. You go out and trade for a guy like this and then don’t even use him over 67% of the snaps? just let the best players play for once and if he goes over the threshold then you judge the deal accordingly
I never really understood why this was always the strategy though? It’s good to rotate guys through but you want the best players playing more snaps.
No EDGE has hit those snap thresholds in 3 years for Saleh and Ulbrich. Which includes 2 1st rounders that have been drafted by them in that same time frame. Now we expect a 30 year old EDGE to eclipse that? While it’s obviously possible, I find it highly unlikely that it’ll happen. And if it does? It’s because he’s so dominant that Saleh and/or Ulbrich can’t take him off the field. In either case, he’s worth a 3rd or a 2nd, 3 drafts from now.
I know, I think it’s been said like 4 times in this thread maybe. Reddick is a different player than Huff who was poor against the run, so it made a little more sense to rotate him out. Reddick is a unique player and if they made this move just to give him half the snaps then I would be disappointed
CBS sports reports it as an "or" statement: "which is bumped up to a second-round pick if Reddick gets 10+ sacks or plays 67.5% of the snaps" so all he needs is 10 sacks according to this.
That's what it was initially reported as I believe but ESPN has corrected it and said it is playtime AND sacks.
To be fair, it seems like they sort of did that last year with Q and JJ hitting 68.51% and 65.79% respectively. The previous high for any DL player was Q in 2022 at 60.63% (JFM led DLs in 2021 at 60.22%). I think Reddick will be up there with Q and JJ this year but I think all of them will cap out around that 65-66% range. Which is fine by me, still means our best players are getting 2/3s of the snaps.
Chris Jones played 73% and 80% of snaps the past two years and that’s with deep playoff runs tagged on. Bosa 74%/75% TJ Watt 83%/83% Josh Allen 79%/77% Trey Hendrickson 68%/65% Maxx Crosby 96%/95% Micah Parsons 81%/80% Feels like the Jets need to play the better guys more than they do and abandon this “well he’s a worse player but he’s slightly more rested” nonsense.
I understand the thought but they’ve also had a Top 5 D by most metrics the past 2 years by employing that strategy. Like it or not, it does seem to work for them.
Well yeah but they’ve also poured a ton of resources into the defense while have an All-Pro at all three levels of the defense. Yet they continue to spend to try to make the defense better. I’ll stop bitching about it a bit as long as they go offense in the first round.
The offseason goes from a B+ to an F- for me if JD uses our 1st rounder on any defensive prospect. That pick, wherever it ends up, HAS to be OL or WR/TE.
JJ came very close last year. It's certainly not impossible particularly if someone gets hurt. It's far from a guarantee it's a 3d, though I agree more likely.
