same dilemma as last year. OL or TE. They must have a starting right OT during the summer. draft end of april. tough choice to read the future
Agree. Question is how big of a drop is there between getting a TE in the second versus getting a RT in the second. Money wise, future salaries for RT are up of 20 and top TEs closer to 9-10 so value wise RT on paper would trump it. I would be thrilled with either choice.
The problem there is that basically the equivalent of posting a 2024 Sam Darnold highlight video and proclaiming "THIS IS THE QB PRODUCTION WE WOULD HAVE IF WE HAD SIGNED THIS GUY!!!". Again, same reality applies here that applied to Bowers imo. Warren is an advanced chess play for a team that struggles enough figuring out checkers. If the Jets want to draft the guy the highest bust *here* probability on the table, and who's likely higher end outcome (again - *here*) is carving himself into a Tyler Conklin'like player/role, then this Tyler is the pick to make at #7. No please. Same. But in the hypothetical event he does end up there due to QB reaching shenanigans I would probably guess Glenn wouldn't be able to resist taking him though.
These are highlights. Here is Harold Fannin, who btw was picked as consensus all American over Warren and two years younger. Not saying he is better than Warren, he is probably round 3 guy, while Warren is round 1, but these highlights don't mean much.
There are 12 prospects at OT that I feel can step in and start on day one, especially at RT. The difference between Campbell or Banks (both projected top 10 picks) and say Ersery or Cam Williams (both or one at least likely available in the 2nd round) is negligible in my opinion. Membou has been shooting up the charts recently due to the combine, which confounds me honestly given how many great OT’s there are.
Tackle in round 2? The Jets just used one of their "top 30" visits on Univ of Minnesota tackle Aireontae Ersery. Dude is a massive ham sandwich with extra mustard. Played LT at Minnesota but he will be a RT in the NFL Lets take him and teach him to use those big mitts
See now, this kind of shit pisses me off. This is supposed to be PROFESSIONAL football. Where, you know, professionals go to do their business. Why a dude, that SHOULD be picked no earlier than the 3rd round, get's as you say "pushed" into the 1st by a hype machine is simply mind boggling to me and supports my notion that HALF these morons shouldn't be anywhere NEAR a professional football team OR the draft room. Ce la vie, I guess. Nepotism runs deep everywhere. The only thing I'm crossing my fingers is that our usually useless brain trust doesn't do the super dumb ass move and draft Jenty at 7. Oh, I could SEE it happen. Then to watch all those Jets fans, at the draft, split in full conniption mode. Hey, it's what the Jets do! Having had that bit o' fun... I HOPE that I hear an O-Lineman taken at 7 or trade back, if possible. Let's face it, TE is another of those positions that the Jets, historically, have NEVER gotten right nor have they ever really utilized the TE as a receiver...EVER! Kyle Brady. Now that is your typical NY Jets TE. Thoroughly useless AS a TE and better suited for Guard. O-line, O-line and more O-line... That is the word of the day at 7 in the 2025 Draft for the Jets.
Many people keep saying that Dart is no better than a 3rd round pick, but maybe some GMs see him as one of the most valuable players for their team that is available in the draft. QB is the most important position on an NFL team, so Dart may be very high on some teams' draft boards. For the Jets, I don't see it b/c they already invested a lot in Fields and likely see him as the starter.
I don't know but it seems that they have made it very clear what they will do. The Jets new regime has filled holes with young low priced players. They let Moses walk and did not value the old tight end.They are waiting for the price to come down on the WR's that are out there. They like the young TE they signed and don't seem to value the position that highly. The one starting position they lack a starter is right tackle. We'll see.
Aaron Glen came from an organization that turned it around building in the trenches. I believe he will try and sell the rest of the FO that an olineman who is a plug and play piece should be the pick.
I say trade back get an extra pick in this draft. It’s loaded in OT and TE first three rounds. Take best OL, Fanning Jr and then DT, S or LB
By far this is the best option, but only if it also includes a 1st next year. We need all the ammo we can muster because that draft is stuffed with quality QB’s
what to say? so many experts and mind readers here, or maybe some folks are participating in the personnel discussions with the coach and GM. NOBODY, perhaps including the staff, knows yet what to do. maybe players become available before the draft. maybe no one wants to trade into the 7 slot except for a crappy offer. maybe the players they really want get taken before 7. I expect ongoing discussions and evaluations right up to...jets are on the clock. But, this is a new management team. what they value is as yet unknown. Skill vs. beef. potential vs actual performance. who knows? My personnel preference is to beef up the lines before skill. but thats just me. the jets?....wait and see. it will make for interesting discussions when we have some actual decisions before us.
Dude, we're all "pissin' in the wind" here. None of us actually know, we're just shootin' the breeze to make the time go by. There wouldn't BE a Gang Green board if we were all yappin' facts! Just like you did right after you offhandedly "slapped" us with the bolded part. Or, aren't you one of us acting like experts and mind readers? Esshhhh....
Deion just came out and confirmed he's hoping for the Giants. If he's signing off on NY then it's going to NY for no other reason then it's the best potential play for Daboll to save his job This is good for us too as it guarantees NE a choice between Carter or Hunter, and which they'll likely take. That in turn pushes at least 1 more guy (especially if we want T) down towards us that wasn't gonna be there in the event Sanders fell.
Right now, IMO, barring a major surprise by the Jags or the Raiders, by the time the clock rolls for us to make the selection, the two QBs and what most consider the best two players in the draft hands down, Carter and Hunter, will be long gone. NE most likely pulls the plug on Carter or may be a OL. Jag at five most likely either D if Carter is there or OL. Rumors have it Raiders are in love with the RB Jaunty at six. If we stay at 7th, and the board falls that way, we have great options, ranging from solidifying the line in either D or O with Graham or Campbell or Membou, safe picks that a new GM and HC might embrace, or bet on a weapon for JF like TE and WR. There is a part of me that says with the first two picks, the Jets are going to play it super safe, and lean heavily on finalizing the O line to protect Fields, and beef up the D line against the run. While TE and WR are clearly positions of need, they might stick to the basics first and look for high potentials later in the draft for the later. Probably I’m way off but my gut says this GM and HC will not swing for the fences in year one. Of course, given the opportunity , moving down is most appealing for us.
