Sorry to be the party popper here but my worries about these two guys or drafting any 280 plus pound dline men, is if he doesn’t turn out to be the next W. Sapp, J.J. Watt, R. White or A. Donald then it was a waisted draft pick pretty much. With all the hype behind these two prospects, especially Q. Williams, you would think he will turn out to be one of these HOFers or future HOFers. Same with the raising hype of E. Oliver and he was supposed to be a number one overall pick anyway, if it wasn’t for his injury and attitude issues. This run of 280-300 pound dline men we’ve drafting over the past decade or so just hasn’t work well for us.
Here’s the problem with that, our very own L. Williams who was just recently drafted had all this hype around him 3 years ago and he’s average at best. Maybe a little better then average. So if Q. Williams or E. Oliver is going to turn out to be another L. Williams then what have we gained? I personal think E. Oliver may turn out to be a better player then Q. Williams but I don’t want the Jets to draft either one. If the Jets are staying at three then draft J. Allen and be done with it. I’ll even be good with Bosa. Although I think Allen fits us better. Recent history has shown that the smaller edge rusher/LBs are more successful at rusheing the QBs then the big guys.
Take examples such as K. Mack, J. Bosa, V. Miller, D. Lawrence. We can even go back a little bit to L. Taylor, M. Stratham, H. Long and D. Thomas. Yes there a few dline men that are very good today but no where as good IMHO as a White, Sapp, Watt and Donald. These four guys are true game changers, impact players to the highest extent when it comes to the 280 plus pound dline men. Guys like C. Campbell from the Jaquars and C. Jordan from the Saints is not on their level. Jordan comes close but not quite there IMO. Now L. Williams isn’t even on Campbell or Jordan’s level.
So unless Q. Williams or E. Oliver will be better then Jordan or Campbell on a consistent basis, like Sapp, Watt, White or Donald then why are or would we draft them???
