Two words: Mekhi Becton Joe Douglas has already used two first round picks plus a second rounder on OL. At some point they have to realize that strategy isn't working.
Well that would suck. Rodgers needs to realize her is an employee and not the GM or owner. Try and stick us with an average TE while he plays 1 year and moves on.
The Jets need to pump up the offense. It's long overdue. I'm good with Nabers, Odunze, and the other LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas. Paired with Garrett Wilson they could wreak havoc.
Dont think this is a spoiler. From Diana Russini - The Rams, who haven't picked in the first round since 2016, are calling to get into the top 10, per sources.
Didn't know about Fautanu's knee issue. That basically rules him out for me completely. I have no confidence in coach Carter either, but even if I did, I want to give him a younger taller OT prospect without knee concerns. Fuaga is slow on tape and there are very few good OTs who have arms like his or shorter. He was never known as a good pass protector even at RT. Latham was indeed hurt on the last play in play offs and did not participate in combine for that reason. Check this out, very good discussion on OL from the guys who watched all 22 of every play this season. I do not know much about Dom C, but Joe B is co founder of JetsXFactor, and Ky Samuels is a former College OL player, who now watches the film. Basically all of them came to the conclusion that Olu, Alt, and Latham are top 3 OTs, though the order was different. Anyway, I think worth a listen.
My worst fear is actually the trade down scenario, trying to get that 2nd rounder, that goes badly. Like in Hypothetical Land i can be talked into a final outcome that sees us trade down, get that extra pick, and still get a great latter 1st round value flyer in Mims (one guy who I follow every year for this stuff is super high on him). Bur in reality I think there is just too many teams out there that might make an aggressive play of their own on securing a 1st round OT to feel comfortable with that. Or with the idea that the trade down for guy you might like in Mims would still even be there. I'll actually take 1st round tradeup for OT odds over QB tonight. If we trade down it's more likely imo to be with another team looking to move up to take an OT. That is just....messy lol
Indy (15) interested in trading to draft Bowers? https://www.profootballrumors.com/2...strategy-team-interested-in-trading-up-for-wr
Rumors are heating up that teams are trying to jockey into the top 10 for Bowers and/or Odunze. MHJ and Nabers would probably cost too much. Tonight is going to be interesting.
Draft experts: Bowers is a top 10 pick Teams: trying to trade up to draft Bowers Jets fans: BOWERS IS A TE NO THANKS
https://x.com/nfl_dovkleiman/status/1783590971546169704?s=46&t=eaLIxbRmBqelegocbpHIVQ Tweet basically says that the Falcons are open for business at eight. Makes way too much sense to move up if one of Nabers or Odunze is on the board.
I don't know where you get your information on Fuaga, but based on what I see and read, it's wrong. Fautanu is 6'4 and that actually helps with his leverage and mobility. Several of the taller OTs have trouble with waist bending when trying to block and they don't have good leverage. 6'4" is plenty tall for an OT imo. The only person who reported anything about Fautanu's knee was Albert Breer, and imo he's a hack and usually wrong. He didn't even specify which knee or what the issue is. Thanks for the info on Latham getting hurt. One of Fashanu, Alt and Latham should be there at #10. IMO if the Jets have them as the top 3 OT prospects, then one of them should be the pick, or if they don't think there's that much of a difference or like Fuaga, Fautanu, Mims, or Guyton, I'd have no trouble with their trading back, getting either a 2nd round pick or a 3rd round pick that they could package with one of their 4th round picks to get a 2nd, taking one of those OTs, and then getting one of Corley and Leggette in the 2nd round. Even if they couldn't get a 2nd round pick, I'd rather have one of the 1st round OTs and a 3rd round WR, than vice versa. The Jets aren't going to be able to get an OT worth a tinker's damn in the 3rd round. They might as well go ahead and take an Edge or S at that point and then just forfeit the 2025 season.
https://x.com/dmrussini/status/1783593333916610713?s=46&t=eaLIxbRmBqelegocbpHIVQ And this one says Chicago is fielding offers for the ninth pick. Not great. Odunze won’t make it past 9.
Or there is up to 4 OL guys already off the board by the time pick 10 gets it's turn QB/QB/QB/WR/OT/WR/OT/OT/OT
I can’t see 4 OL being gone. 2 yes (Alt and Latham since apparently hes LAC’a guy) but Odunze will be gone by 10 unless someone is in love with an OT or they know they need to jump us for Bowers.
I don’t think there’s going to be a run on OL unless there’s a trade up. As long as one of those two are there Im a happy man tonight.
