    That is one weak WR free agency class. Tyrell Williams might be the best? Tate is good, but he'll be 31. And the rookie WR class is shaping up to be incredibly weak.

    I say we re-sign Robby and Quincy, draft a pass rusher in round 1, shore up the O line with our 3rd round pick and through free agency, and then use 2020 draft capital for a WR. I really dont see any other way.

    That's really unfortunate.

    I really do think they must trade for a WR. I want Jets to draft OL or Edge Rusher in the draft for 1st round. Team badly needs a WR for Darnold. If anything just to help Darnold out, not anyone necessarily long term, just to hold us over until we can find one in a future draft.

  3. WR draft class is not shaping up to be weak at all.

    AJ Brown,N’keil Harry,Antonio Johnson,Kelvin Harmon,Deebo Samuel,JJ Arcega-Whiteside,Marquice Brown.collin Johnson..plenty of good talent.

    I'll take Tyrell Williams (deep threat, good size, wins 50 50 balls). Keep Q and Robby. Maybe make another signing. Tate would be nice.

    Ideally, our draft goes LT, WR, C with the first 3 picks. I'm assuming that we sign an edge rusher or two in free agency.

    I'd have to take a look at the WR class but I'd like if the Jets drafted a super speedster type guy, get him in space and see what he can do.

    You don't see any other way to do what? If you're talking about getting a WR, ok, but if you're talking about the draft in general, then there is easily another way, a better way, and that is drafting their new LT with their #1 pick. Protecting Sam is infinitely more important than drafting an edge rusher. This is coming from someone who has been screaming for over 10 years about an edge rusher being one of their top priorities.

    Hopefully, they can sign a quality edge rusher in FA, then use their #1 on an LT prospect, and one of their #3 picks on a C or OG. Then hopefully, they'll use the other 3rd round pick on a RB, WR, or an edge rushing prospect.

    I'd love this but would also sign up for LT, C or OG, and WR. Agreed that we need to sign an edge rusher or two in FA.

    picking the position the Jets should draft round by round 6 months before the draft is literally the dumbest thing Ive seen on this board. Can we even wait to see who's available? Can we wait to see where we will be drafting? good lawd

    If we draft a 6'3'' 190 lb WR, we could be getting the next Randy Moss.

    there are some amazingly dumb things posted but Im still pretty comfortable with my take on the draft desires......people are quoting the position they want in teh 3rd round. Think about that.

    "I want a center in the 3rd round".....well what if the greatest center prospect in the history of the NFL was there for us in the 1st round? we wait? lol

    That's just faulty thinking, or someone reaching, hoping.

    Does Leonard Williams look fat to you?

    Losing a game is like losing 10 games in a row in baseball?

    Robby Anderson equals Randy Moss?

    Darnold's long ball (as he's overthrowning Randy Moss every game)?

    Is Sam better than McCown?

    Hypothesis?

    We don't need Kahlil Mack?

    String theory?

    Darnold = Sanchez?

    Do you guys like Fireman Ed?

    Sunday can't come soon enough?

    Some pretty wildly dumb stuff.
