With all of our needs, I doubt JD spends a first round pick on a RB. He might add another guy in the middle rounds though.Even if Douglass decides to trade down from the #2 overall which as I said earlier I think he's going to do and gets a haul, I want him to take Etienne with our back of the 1st round #1 pick from Seattle that we got in the Jamal trade.
We need someone explosive like that. Let it be written let it be done!...
I'm not over it but I agree with the sentiment. There was no way we were going winless. Just wasn't in the cards given certain things I'll get to later. It already took two borderline miracles to be there. It was destined to go awry. It's probably easier said to move down and get a QB than we think, though. Two tackles wouldn't be all bad, but I'm sure the alphas want to get paid at some point like left tackles do, so it might not be feasible to take two, no matter how injury-prone one might be. I'm just thinking that might enter their decision-making process. So there's that. And the coaching options really do kind of stink. Eric Bienemy's plays don't look so cute when you have Darnold and Herndon IV running plays like Mahomes and Kelce near the goal line and failing. Pat Fitzgerald works great during college, but he's a former college LB. Is he pro offense ready? And so on...
If he's already out of the playoffs I could see Bill Belichick losing that game on purpose just to keep Lawrence out of his division.
It's hard to argue with that. Don't worry Todd, the win will carry over to next season (like it did this year). You need to start building that winning culture! sigh
No way a TE at two. The Jets have so many different needs. The positional win shares -- any advanced metric you want -- don't hold for a TE. Get that hot garbage off my team immediately.
It would be ridiculous, unless he's a Kelce type. Which I think he is. He's an absolute matchup nightmare.
Yes it does. Jamal Adams at safety vs. Pat Mahomes would like a word.
Well we're getting pretty hypothetical now. There is no Mahomes available after pick #1 in this draft, so it's apples and oranges.
No, Andy. Never meant it to be personalized. My apologies if it comes off that way. It's not affecting me that much. Reading the thread where people seem to be gloating is one thing, and I don't think you or ChiefD or a few others were doing that. That said, I think a TE is a horrendous idea at two if I'm a fan of, say, the London Partakers. That's a generalized sentiment as a football fan. An unknown TE at two is just the absolute wrong move. The Jets fan in me makes it the tire fire embellishment.
Probably right on Pitts. I should have taken that you were spitballing and not come so heavy about the debate aspect of things. As far as the bolded goes, I totally agree with your reasoning and was making the same point about overall value. From upthread, my response to this (yeah, I'm quoting myself but just so you can see how much I agree with you)
So yeah, you're basically looking at not being able to maximize your value at two because there aren't apparently any dominant EDGE guys in this draft (I'm going off of the draftniks and what MAC_32 said about it in the IDP threads). So in addition to basically losing the equivalent of another first-round pick yesterday, you lost the ability to absolutely vastly improve your team because you'd already done so last year. The sure-fire thing at a position of undeniable value is already blocked by a potential (potential) All-Pro-caliber player there.
Becton is a road grader type OT that they run behind exclusively now anyway - I don't see how having an elite level tackle on both sides could be a bad thing.
That was just mostly trolls, that have likely only seen NJ on The Sopranos, that wanted to further dump on Jet fans when they're already down.
McCagnan, the gift that keeps giving. Actually JD played it smart. He knew that this team was going to be bad. He had lots of cap space and absorbed a lot of the damage this year (eg. Enunwa's $10m hit). Clears the slate for next year and a great cap outlook. They will have tons of cap space while most teams will struggle when the cap goes down.
Hey, Tony lived in a pretty nice place. Plus the neighborhood had Satriales, the Bada Bing, and just a short drive from the lovely Pine Barrens.
I'm not expecting a haul for the pick - that's a pipe dream but if the Jets were to get a decent trade package, I assume it would be for a team to move up to get Fields and not Sewell.
Loved trying to piece together how long the circuitous route Tony takes in the opening credits really would be.
I live three blocks from the beach - NJ isn't all highways and smoke stacks. It's the richest state in the Nation per capita. I'm guessing wealthy people aren't choosing to live in a ####-hole.
Truckin' up to Buffalo
Rage I get it...I really do. The unwritten rule in the NFL says you never take a RB in the first round. Well there are exceptions to every rule and Etienne is the exception this so called rule.
I'm kind of with you. I spelled out the scenario earlier as this would be THE most Jet like thing to occur. Maybe you missed it as there's been alot of posts today understandably. But I'll reiterate it once again what I said this morning.
I've seen him play, but it doesn't matter who I like or don't like. I just don't think JD will spend top draft equity on a RB. It doesn't appear to be his style. Look at the slugs he's brought in. Gore. Ballage.Adams. He doesn't seem to care too much about the position right now. He probably has a half dozen other priorities.
