Jets Draft Day - It's a Trading Frenzy!

[mydogisajetsfan]

Mac knows he has an unusual situation on his hands. While the team played well last year and was on the cusp of making the playoffs and possibly a playoff run, he knows the team is full of older, costly players who will need to be replaced in the not too distant future. With that in mind, Mac goes on a trading frenzy on draft day. Mo is sent to the Titans for #33, #76 and #140. That's a total of 825 value points or #20 or so in the first round. Then on draft day, with Lynch and Hackenberg sitting there at 20 and Cleveland concerned about the Chiefs and Broncos ahead of them, Mac sends the pick to the Brownies for #32, #65 and #141 for a net gain of 35 points.

The draft then plays out thusly:

#32 (Cle) - Jason Spriggs, OT
#33(Ten) - William Jackson, CB
#51 - Kyler Mackrell, LB

#65 (Cle) - Jeremy Cash, S
#76 (Ten) - Connor Cook, QB
#83 - Shon Coleman, OT

#118 - Graham Glasgow, C
#140 (Ten) - Jerell Adams, TE
#141 (Cle) - Devontae Booker, RB

In one draft, Mac replenishes the roster with younger, faster, and cheaper players. Yes, he double dips at OT and finally drafts Thor's replacement. If Spriggs and Coleman both work out the T position goes from weakness to strength. This draft nets six 2017/8 starters and allows Mac the leverage of going after WR, LB and RB during free agency and the 2017 draft.

I'll take it. Youth baby youth

Spriggs and Jackson are good value picks there. If this hypothetical actually happened, I'd be OK with those two picks. Don't know much about the others, but I'm pretty certain that there will be a run on QB's in the 2nd round, and Connor Cook won't make it that far. I could be wrong, but there are a few teams who are reportedly very intrigued by him.

Step away from the pipe. Mackrell? Coleman and Cook will not be there at those picks and you are reaching in the first. Other than that I'm in:global (23):.

Unfortunately I strongly suspect that the Jets aren't getting 3 draft picks for Mo.

The way it's shaping up they might get #76. Sure as hell hope I'm wrong, but I don't like the lack of any trade rumors 4 days before the draft.

if it happens .............Great

Leave my pipe out of this! I've been a Jets fan for over 50 years and the pipe has gotten me through it all!

Who knows exactly who will be there and who won't be. Consider this more of a blueprint for how to get us to the next level. With nine picks in the first four rounds OT, LB, RB, C, CB, TE and maybe even WR can be addressed. That's what Mac needs to do.

I believe Mac has offers in his hip pocket that will go down during the draft depending on who's there and who's not. Tennessee, the Niners, Oakland and Chicago are all in play. For example, if the Bears are able to get one of the top two tackles, they may pull the trigger on getting Mo for a second plus a third/fourth. Similar scenario with the Raiders.

Then hope Lynch and Hackenberg are available at #20 and Denver and Cleveland are falling over themselves to move up to grab one of them. Cleveland has the picks and we could land an extra second and fourth.

The Raiders aren't in play for Muhammad Wilkerson. First can't afford him, and second Mckenize isn't given up draft picks to acquire him.( loves his draft picks and probAbly looking to acquire more, than have less).

And then you woke up....

Ian Rappaport is hearing the Jets may be going WR in the first round. Mentioned TCU WR Doctson and ND WR Fuller. Doctson is soaring up draft boards from what I'm reading.
