I think maybe they figured the did some shopping on Fifth Avenue and are now ready to go to the outlets to get some bargains. The second wave is better value and now they can take adavantage of them having the leverage.
Mac went to the Dollar Store and signed Vikings guard Tom Compton. He's pretty average, Depth I guess. Can play RT in a pinch.
$2MM is very cheap and he’s decent enough to win a game if need be. McCown meant a lot to Sam but he was pretty terrible when he had to play last season.
I don’t see any other possible move that makes sens than taking whoever is left between Bosa and Allen.
I'm all for Bosa/Allen, but it would not surprise me if they went Williams. Based on? 50 years of being a Jets fan. Our GM might think Williams is the BPA and I'm sure there are other GMs/scouts that believe it.
I agree -- they have needs elsewhere, so the only way it makes sense is to get an additional pick this year -- they don't have a 2nd round pick -- but I think the value in getting Bosa/Allen is greater than lesser blue chip prospects at other positions.
Jets still plan to stay in a base 3-4? I get the "front office making head-scratching decisions" but given scheme and need -- they shed Wilkerson (a great and overdue move) and their depth behind Leonard Williams on the outside is really suspect, any other move beside Bosa/Allen truly makes no sense.
Yes, they're staying in the 3-4, but Williams will have plenty of different looks. Agreed. They have been looking for an edge rusher since before even @rockaction was born. Yet, the Jets do love their defensive tackles. Who knows if they will re-sign Leonard Williams and could look for a replacement. I know, it makes no sense, but we've seen this move before. Outside of Darnold last year, this GM has a fetish for drafting best player available at non-premium positions (Safety, LB, DT).
I have to laugh. I'm old enough to remember the NYSE. Gastineau was our EDGE.
Yeah, Klecko was probably better. I listed Gastineau because I thought Klecko was interior, and remember Gastineau off of the edge. Turns out, my memory is a little faulty, as Klecko played both EDGE and nose tackle. I was only six or seven in his prime, though.
I could live with it because I do think Williams is the safer pick and could be a force - and like you said getting pressure up the middle is key with Brady - but if course the team would be forced to get creative with blitzes to get pressure from the edges. We’ve been down this road for far too long.
Yes, Klecko played both inside and out in his career. Although sacks were not an official stat in 1981, both Klecko and Gastineau had 20 sacks each . Can you imagine? Lyons and Salaam combined for double digits. That's 50+ from only our d-line. That was sick.
Kiper's mock has the Jets staying at 3 and selecting Josh Allen. He has the Colts taking McLaurin at 26.
Lee isn't a good fit in the 3-4 system. He improved last year, at least in pass coverage. As far as the run game goes, imo, Lee has to guess off the snap because he's too small to fight through blocks. I think he guesses incorrectly often, but when he guesses correctly, he makes some nice plays in the backfield.
He has the feel of a "Bowles guy" who isn't going to thrive under what isn't going to be a particularly player friendly environment run by Gase/Williams.
For some reason I thought Lee had speed and was a bit undersized, i.e., built like a 4-3 WLB type but it doesn't seem like a good fit for a 4-3 Wilks defense that may be more of a 5-2 base.NYRAGE said:
He is fast. He ran 4.4-4.5 in his 40. His best plays are when he comes off the line of scrimmage using his speed to nail the RB behind the line of scrimmage. When he guesses the wrong direction, he's completely out of the play. He's not the type to read and react. He guesses before the play is run. He's pretty small and gets engulfed when blockers come at him. He came to the Jets with great coverage reputation, but wasn't so good early on. He improved last year.
They seem to be under pressure to perform well this year. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything on Ansah and went cheap on K/returner with this much space left. Maybe they look at Jaime Collins on a cheaper deal.
I’m not a Trenton Cannon fan as a RB, and I realize he had some issues fielding kicks, but I’m guessing they think he can be a dangerous return man for them and with his speed and cutting ability I don’t doubt that.
I think it's a good signing. He also provides depth at slot WR which is where he first played until GB moved him to RB out of desperation.NYRAGE said:
Yes. Overall it's a relatively easy schedule but they could conceivably start out 1-5 or 2-4 and have to dig out of a hole.

How much of that is Woody listening to Bowles, though? Bowles looked like he just got served authentic New Haven pizza when they selected Darron Lee in the first, which was a disaster pick from the get-go. Bowles was grinning from ear to ear.
This is a good point, and logic I used to apply when considering what happened to Tannenbaum as a GM when we all loved him under the Mangini year(s?) because he brought in a good core of players...versus the Rex years when we were drafting the likes Kyle Wilson, Quinton Coples, Dee Miliner and Calvin Pryor with our 1sts.
I could be wrong, but wasn't there some criticism of Bowles after he was fired for not providing input to McCags on draft picks? I could have sworn that I read that Gase, unlike Bowles, was working closely with our GM on draft philosophies and players that fit Gase's system. Apparently they (GM and Bowles) didn't work together and were forced on each other like an arranged wedding. Allegedly Bowles would say that he can coach any kind of player.
Agreed. Our GM still might be.
This Oliver thing makes no sense. I don't see the Raiders trading up for him either.
This Ed Oliver stuff feels smokescreen-ish. Not convinced at all that Oliver goes in the top-6.
