back from injury
you said it right there, back from injury he is now healthy with a National Championship Win 1 catch for 52 yards, a strong combine, and pro day he will be there especially now with Jameson Williams along with John Metchie III hurt...

if both EDGE guys go 1 - 2 there is a real possibility Houston goes CB Derek Stingley Jr. opening the door for JD to trade that 4th overall with Evan Neal available two teams drooling over him right now...

Matt Corral, Kenny Pickett and Sam Howell (Howell gaining steam again) are the real trade up reasons to give up the house to move up...
New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Carolina, Atlanta, are four teams that could... long shot Detroit has a 2nd 1st and some top additional picks if Goff is not the guy... Raiders will have a new HC, will he want his guy?

So many deals to be made...

as of right now if 2 EDGE guys & Evan Neal are the consensus first 3 picks
expect JD to give the Jets one of two options

taking Kyle Hamilton at 4 who fits Robert Saleh's defensive prowess
or
finding a trade partner to fleece

as for the Seattle pick it will be an OL
depending on how the board falls it could be one of three prospects
1) Ikem Ekwonu
2) Charles Cross
3) Trevor Penning

2 of the three would step in as right tackles immediately
1 will convert to guard

Can you believe the meteoric rise in Penning and Cross? absolutely astounding! at 10, if we stay there, i take Penning.
Have a pow-wow with Becton and see if he wants the left side, or wants to maul on the right side.
But with The Doctor at RG, a bookend with Becton makes so much sense...and you can get a RG to replace the Doc in the 3rd.

I still say Ikem at RG makes the most sense his comparison to AVT is too tantalizing not to get him...

damaged goods
in the eye of the beholder
get a couple of billion dollars buy a NFL team and you can tell them who not to draft
until then a team will do their homework, from now to the draft and if they feel comfortable with his medicals
his combine numbers, his pro day numbers then they will take him
until then I am not debating with you about a player I don't see us taking

then get him, Chief!!! Tell Nurse Ratchet that's our pick! Then use a second to snag Darrian Kinnard ;)
then a 3rd to get Jarrett Patterson or Ricky Stromberg, and then the Oline is "buh deep buh deep buh deep...

what I see about players don't have nothing on what the actually people in charge see these prospects
get that @DefenseWinsChampionships
don't at me again and try to throw a conversation we had, like I said that was my purview at that time

the one constant with me has been on the Ikem Ekwonu selection with one of our top picks and trade the other...
fix the interior of our OL make sure that what happened in the Bills game never happens again...
pressure up the middle is a no no in this league, fixing the right side edge at tackle is an admirable options but we have options short term...
getting a developmental late day 2 early day 3 option IOL as depth and potential to play center is key if injuries continue (more so Covid related)

the other constant with me is from day one been on the Jahan Dotson train, never waivered, never jumped on the bandwagon of another breakout player over Dotson, just because of what he can offer to our offense along with Elijah Moore... But Dotson's stock is all over the place because this is a defensive heavy first round draft...

Jets have needs right now...
Free Agency may change that needs list...
then focusing on the draft some picks could be luxury picks, or BPA...
difference with Saleh he likes looking on day 3 for those sleeper options that fill depth...
before Saleh, JD did the same thing that is why they are on the same page...
at the top of the board there are so many ways RN they can go, but first free agency is the bigger question...

And you're right. What happened vs. Buffalo should never happen again.
unless Tyler Linderbaum adds 20 lbs muscle mass and we drafted him it would repeatedly happen he is a technician not an impact blocker which our base line is about...

He demonstrates excellent play strength, he could use a little extra weight. The addition of a little extra bulk would help him combat the few instances of him being taken to the ground during the play. There is some rawness to his game. He needs to iron out some technical inconsistencies, such as the timing and placement of his hands. With another year of development, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Linderbaum consistently play at the highest level. - basically says he is a work in progress

good for him...Patterson it is!
Cade Mays still better... Replaces Dan Feeney backup for both guard spots and center and is versatile enough to backup at tackle played all 5 spots between his college career at UGA & Tennessee...

i read an old report on him, and was worried about him being too light. He is a beast. 6'6'...325.

Hope he is available at 10, like his versatility also. In the event we don't go RG in 1st, is Zion Johnson an option in 2nd?

However once he reaches the NFL and has strength and conditioning trainers it'll be natural for him to gain an extra 5-10 pounds but expecting him to gain another 20lbs is a bit extreme.
not my quote, that is an NFL scout's quote from a team that knows a little bit more than you about prospects
he could be your favorite but you know nothing about what the NFL expects from their players
at this level for the Jets we need someone who can absorb bull rush blocks, he can not...
