things i like: seems like a good guy, reminds me physically of Brick a little things i dont: last time we picked the third OT at 11. I'm superstitious that way
Definitely, that's why we need to trade up in to the 2nd to either take him or Adonai Mitchell or Roman Wilson, or maybe Ja'Lynn Polk. I'm not a fan of Coleman, McConkey, or Franklin, the other WRs likely to go in the 2nd round.
He won the Campbell Trophy so he's book-smart and showed good character (community service etc.). Those characteristics bode well for a good professional career. p.s. the new helmets are... tits? Is that good or bad? I love tits almost more than anything else in the world so I assume you think they are amazing lol. Personally I vastly prefer the Parcells-era helmets and unis, as I have said ad nauseum around here
I think it might help your perspective on that btw to look up those offenses last year with 1500'ish yard receivers and what the left over passing game opportunity values actually shaped up to look like behind their alpha dog. Miami, Dallas, Detroit, Rams, Philly. It dries up pretty quick once you start getting behind option #2 in every one of those offenses. On teams who all have varying degrees of better and more creative offensive coaching then we'll have in 2024 no less. On top of that here is some basic surface level math there just based on what we already have. Starting from our agreement belief Garrett Wilson is a 1500 receiver next year. While giving a 41yo Rodgers a very friendly 17 games played and a 580 top-10 average in 2023 of total pass attempts: - Subtract Garrett's 165 targets in route to a much more efficient St Brown'ike 1500 yard season and that puts us at 415 left over total pass attempts. - I'd like and believe it's fairly safe to assume a full healthy Breece Hall and the arguable best dual threat RB in the NFL outside CMC sees an uptick in opportunity and production. But for argument's sake let's just go with that not being the case and pencil in a straight replication of his 2023 useage. Subtracting those 95 targets takes us down to 320. - I'd like to believe the same on a smaller scale with Conklin, but again for arguments sake let's just go with that not happening. Subtracting those 87 targets from last year takes us down 233 left over pass attempts. That brings us to Mike Williams, and which to note many of the "2024 weapons!" crowd were higher on then i was. Let's again for this argument's sake let's lean more into their only missing a few games projections and split his 21/22 targets output roughly in half. Pencil him in for a 100. That takes us down to 133 left over pass attempts beyond those 4 guys to go around for the rest of the team. Or basically assuming Rodgers maintains his 65% career completion % comes out to roughly 86 remaining catches over the season. Again, that would be shared out among EVERYBODY Including else. Including any one incoming rookie that probably at best is most likely to get maybe half of them.
Yeah... I know literally nothing about Olu... but he handled the questions well. Said all the right things... if that means anything. As far as the new helmets & unis... anything is better than the previous ones. I happen to like the new look... probably because it reminds me of when I was a youngster running wild around NYC.
The Jets like to find their elite players in Free Agency, for way more than they are worth, at the end of their careers. Maybe we'll get Brock Bowers in 2037 when he can barely run.
He's sure to start games this year. And we'll be desperately happy that we have him protecting the QB rather than Max Mitchell or whoever (assuming he's as good as his college stats, talent, and work ethic show him to be).
I literally said I was fine with the pick. I have no idea what you’re even replying about trying to convince me it was a better pick than going WR.
Well sure but so is Carter Warren and Max Miller and some dude that we will sign to the practice squad in week 6. You draft immediate depth in the top 10... that's just not forgivable to me.
Sometimes I think it's just a block of code, and if we just had the right cipher key, we could view the really intuitive message hidden within.
Would you have preferred to trade up (giving up even more precious picks) to get Odunze if it had been possible (supposedly we were interested but the cost was too high)? Or drafted Bowers instead of Olu?
This is the exact same process (from the opposite position, but probably on about the same timescale) as I would’ve gone through if Bowers had been the pick.
