If it was you what would do with our 2019 draft picks?

[jets82]

I know we have about 10 different threads on this topic, so allow me to start an eleventh. I felt the need to start this thread because I wanted us all to express what we would do with our draft picks of this year. Whether you would stay at number three and why and who would you pick. Or would you trade back and who would you pick there. Now most here seem to believe that an edge rusher/OLB or dline men is or most important need. I disagree and say it’s your oline and WR. Just my humble opinion of course.

If it were me, I would trade back but only for the right value of course. If I couldn’t get it then I would draft Allen, Bosa or Q. In that order if either were available. If I got the right trade offer, which would be the Giants or Raiders two first round picks, their second for this year and another pick either this or next year. If it was a team like the Dolphins, Broncos or the Redskins it would have to be they’re first, second and third this year and their first next year. The right trade offer from the Giants or Raiders and I'm drafting two oline men in the first, WR in the second and pass rusher and CB in the third.

If I got the right trade offer from the Dolphins, Broncos or Redskins, I would draft the best oline men available in the first, a WR in the second and a edge rusher or CB with my two third round picks. The rest of my draft picks would be a mixer of oline man, CB, RB and a dline men. I feel getting our offense at a top notch level will help the defense automatically. I don’t think our defense was that bad last year and it will be better with our current additions. So if we can get an offense that averages about 27 points a game, our D won’t allow more then 20 on an average.

I have major reservations in letting Mac trade back. He has proven outside the 6th pick he is abysmal to awful at best. I think we have to take Allen/Bosa/Quinnen. Having a bunch of picks and Mac at GM is just going to be a disappointment.

I'm trading back if I can. We could still get an edge rusher later in the round and get an upgrade at O-line with an acquired second round pick. Or vice versa. Makes no sense to give up the farm for Darnold and do nothing to protect him. Bell doesn't impress me as a baller, he turned down a Superbowl chance with Pitt to sit out last year, and it won't take too many rejections at the line of scrimmage for him to lie down and take the money.

I'd find out who Belichick is going to draft and draft them

The problem with that is if we did drafted them they would suck for us but be excellent for the Patriots. This is the way it usually works play for the Patriots players, they usually are garbage for anybody else. Few HOF exceptions like Randy Moss a hand full more but you get my point.

I would try and trade back with the Packers getting there 2 1st Rd picks (#12 & #30) along with a 2nd and a 2nd or 3rd next year. I would draft at #12 either OT Dillard, ER Burns or ER Ferrell. At #30 I would look to grab NT Dexter Lawerence. With the 2nd Rd pick I would take the best CB available. With our 2 3rd Rd picks I would go after the best Center available and another CB.

You are 100% correct... And it kills me. But I will add, Belichick isn't the greatest draft genius either. He brings in a lot of older guys that have talent and are not working out where they are, then when they become patriots and enjoy winning every game, they change their attitude and play even better. That's what it is all about. Winning begets winning.

Starting the winning culture is the hard part that we need to figure out. Everyone wants to play for a winner and they will play harder and better when they are winning.

Not a bad plan, but in direct response to the question:

Based on his track record, probably better in the lower rounds than Mac.

Quality over quantity... how many 3rd to 7th rounders are making this team... AND contributing besides ST ... Izdik had 12 picks and 3 made team or something horrific like that

Speaking of the title, I know it's self explanatory what I meant by the title but MODS, if you can correct the title for me and add the YOU in there I would appreciate it. Thanks

Excellent point and that's why I wouldn't be upset if Mac drafted Allen at #3 and pretty much only Allen. However, Mac isn't Idzik and no where near as bad as he was. Yes Mac hasn't hit on all his draft picks but he has done great on a few. I think we can all acknowledge that edge rusher isn't the Jets only issue or need. Some will say it's there biggest need and I disagree with that but we can agree it's not the only need. So if oline help is pretty much just as bad, then you have a need at WR, CB and maybe another TE, then what do the Jets do with those needs?

YES, I know all these needs can't be fixed in one draft but some teams have managed to hit on multiple drafts picks just recently. Take the Saints for instants with their draft picks from about two-three years ago. They hit on their oline need bigtime, CB and safety and I believe one more need. Hell, even the Jets hit on multiple draft picks back when they drafted Abraham, Ellis, Becht and Pennington. Same when they drafted D'Brick and Mangold. Point is, none of us know what these guys will turn out to be, not even the Jets. So, do you address that one need or trade down and address multiple needs within the first 3-4 rounds? Decisions-Decision!!!
