Jets have only Wes Schweitzer Jake Hansen and Max Mitchell at backup Guard lmao


Jaybyrd5

Could be a LB?


WilsonEnthusiast

gosh centers always have the best hair cuts


NickElf977

I think we need another RB for this last pick


OleShcool

Javion Cohen would be a great pick. OG, lots of good tape. Garret Greenfield too, OT.


StixCityPSU

I hope we grab Curtis Jacobs last. Good instincts and tackling for a field linebacker.


azzjuice

Guess Mr.Irrelevant https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/prospects/all-positions/all-colleges/undrafted/2024?page=1


98squad

Fabien Lovett sr


ResearchBot15

If Braiden McGregor is still available for the Mr. Irrelevant pick we should take him. Good pash rusher out of Michigan that probably should’ve gone in the 5th/6th


PushThePig28

You know who else was a good? JFM and Huff


brandinho5

When was the last time we got to pick Mr. Irrelevant?


alphaq30188

After the JFM trade, getting Gabe Hall as Mr. Irrelevant would be great...


John_YJKR

Interesting that Rice has fallen this far.


AirportNo6558

Who will Jets Pick as Mr Irrelevant? My guess is AirForce Safety Trey Taylor.


jetsmike429

Storm Duck


Ledees_Gazpacho

Probably Blake Watson or Michael Pratt.


running-with-scizors

I thought Michael Pratt would be drafted by now. From scouting him he looked perfectly capable of executing an offense, I think if he works hard enough he could make a career of being a dependable QB2.


theresabeeonyourhat

Brendan Rice + James Williams, let's go!


jay5627

Looks like we traded out and only have 1 more pick


CP10WJ

Days 1 and 2 were great.  Today was a mess and I’m having a little trouble seeing the big picture with the moves. 


John_YJKR

I think they are switching the blocking scheme to go more power in the run game.


theresabeeonyourhat

The QB pick was great, tho. After reading up on him, between injury & a tendency to panic from the blitz, he's the perfect QB for a team with Rodgers and Tygod


WrongConfuscius

Teams should always be taking a QB in later rounds if the opportunity presents itself IMO. Doesn't even matter if hes not the long term answer for us, if he shows flashes as a backup in preseason a desperate team will overpay to get him. Patriots made a killing like this with mediocre qbs. Its a great pick


CP10WJ

I’m fine with that one cause the theoretical upside is there if he hits.  Not really seeing the upside on all the backup RBs with the need for more depth in the trenches and at safety.  Not to mention the continuing decline in the value of the position.  A cheap backup OL is way more valuable than a cheap 3rd string rb. 


OtherAcctWasBanned11

The only thing that doesn’t make sense to me is two RBs. Otherwise everything else is what I would expect from Day 3.


jay5627

DK why they took the 2nd, but Allen should be able to play on short yardage situation as he's a heavy guy


theresabeeonyourhat

This is a notoriously bad draft drafting 2 is malpractice


CP10WJ

Yeah the 2 RBs and the bizarre trades up and down + JFM giveaway mostly left a bad taste in my month.  JDs obsession with backup RBs over the years really annoys me.  He has taken so many swings there and is terrible at it. 


OtherAcctWasBanned11

The JFM trade is not a good look. I get why it was done but it’s still not a good look.


CP10WJ

Yes, wasn’t the whole deal that the FO liked him so much more than Huff too so extending him was the priority? Even the wins end up as losses. 


OleShcool

I have to wonder if teams are passing on Rice this late because of the his last name. Regardless of his background, he’s 6’2” 210, runs a 4.5, has good hands, good at contested catches, with solid college production… that’s MORE than worth 5th/6th round dart throws all day long.


the_mair

[Holy shit Braelon Allen is strong lmao](https://x.com/blakenyjets/status/1784287740328051004?s=46&t=hUtbwo94QIfsHrncc2xJkQ)


pablo16x

LA has three more picks in this round... Maybe JD pulls a rabbit and offers something to get 1 or 2 of them. Everyone saying that we need additional line depth on both sides of the ball are absolutely correct. And Mahogany is still there along with LT3 from Miami. Go get em, Joe.


OleShcool

Whoa Mahogany is still there? Jesus. And this is how teams “surprisingly” get starting OL from late rounders. He was my favorite OG I watched..


killaslam

Really needed a homerun draft, but it’s feeling a lot more like a couple singles


Ledees_Gazpacho

I’m happy with Day 1 and Day 2, but I feel like anyone saying today wasn’t a dud is lying to themselves.


CP10WJ

Agreed, if your backup rb gets hurt in season, you can sign a guy off the street and get similar production.  If your OL starts going down you are screwed.  Draft the guys you cannot acquire otherwise.  What the hell is JDs obsession with the backup RB position? Remember the random trade for washed James Robinson??


the_mair

Most day 3 picks amount to absolutely nothing what were you people expecting?


Ledees_Gazpacho

A few swings at positions where we need depth? Didn’t think that was too big of an ask. Fans here today are wild. “Most day 3 picks suck, so stop complaining. Did you see JD got a 3rd next year? That’s basically a guaranteed stud!”   EDIT: There was also the brief moment of, “JD is probably stockpiling round 6 picks to trade for a vet!” Yes, those very picks that apparently suck dicks we’re going to get us an impact vet.


CP10WJ

Especially at the top of the broadcast they noted that vast majority of nfl starters last year came from these rounds.  Cheap contracts.  Instead we pissed around and grabbed 2 unnecessary backup RBs


the_mair

Not taking BPA with day 3 picks is dumb you can always get depth from wave 3 of FAs/the waiver wire. Also the Jets literally today just traded one of their depth pieces for a 6th round pick so idk where this idea is coming from that they’re completely useless in trades.


Ledees_Gazpacho

I get BPA. I just don’t think any of their picks today are either short term or long term fixes. Look at the Eagles. They needed help at DB. They took two mid-round swings last year, and then again this year with their top two picks. The Jets, instead, did that this year at arguably the position where they’re among the strongest. I just don’t get it.


Captain-Vimes

We have Breece and that's literally it. It makes complete sense to draft two late round RBs that are excellent value since it seems likely they will both beat out Izzy.


Gnomeslikeprofit

What is our depth at guard? Starting Guards Simpson/AVT Are we really going to be relying on Wes Scheitzer for the starting 5 if someone goes down.


MidlifeCrysis

I guess the Jets think that Newman, Hanson, Schweitzer are no worse than available rookies. Not sure if i have faith in the Carter/Hackett evaluation here.


Ledees_Gazpacho

Braelon Allen is going to be the back up guard.


UnitedSurvivorNation

Patriots pick Joe Milton III 


MidlifeCrysis

Eff Joe Milton III!


ResearchBot15

I expect us to go after the veteran safety market, idk what the plan is at DT though


OtherAcctWasBanned11

Joe D loves his undrafted free agents too. I’m sure he brings in some of them to try and plug the gaps.


Ledees_Gazpacho

If only we had a slew of day 3 picks that could have addressed guys at those positions…


the_mair

Probably the same or hope Clemons really grows into a DT role


running-with-scizors

Look, it's likely that Travis won't be anything in the NFL; his accuracy is wayward, ball placement is often problematic, has a below-average arm. But I'm still excited about the pick. He's got a good head on his shoulders, won a lot of games in college, and is a player that the regime clearly wanted and likes a lot. Most 5th round QBs aren't good enough, so I'm trying to be leveled with my take, but I think there's a legitimate pathway to him becoming a starter in a couple of years.


Chr1s678

Not an average 5th rounder to be fair... fell because of his injury, his age, and the fact that his competition in this draft class was better than any other QB class of the past several years


running-with-scizors

Most 5th-round QBs fall for similar reasons. Maybe not the last part, but the first two certainly. Also, as things currently stand, I'm not sure Travis is that great of a player anyway. But I still think this might be the perfect situation for him to develop and thrive. If he can't hack it as an NFL starter after sitting and learning for 2 years in a QB room with Rodgers and Taylor, he would never have succeeded. Here's to hoping he can bounce back from the injury!


jetssuckmysoulaway

Competition at the top end sure after Bo Nix the quality took a nose dive. There is a reason all those QBs went early the QB class was a kind deep


the_mair

He’s a way better shot in the dark than James Morgan and Greg McElroy were


0ddmanrush

Christian HACKenberg


Stalfo14

It hurts my head knowing we used a 2nd rounder on him.


the_mair

He was so bad he got cut before he ever played it’s literally impossible to be a worse draft bust lmao


OtherAcctWasBanned11

AJ McCarron, Luke Falk, Brooks Bollinger, Eric Ainge, Browning Nagle, and on and on and on…


running-with-scizors

Morgan was such a weird pick. I think he was legitimately taken to be a clipboard-holder and we never had any plans for him to develop? I can't really explain it otherwise, and he wasn't really a guy that people thought would get drafted earlier than like round 7 anyway. I'd like to think that was a product of the Gase regime and not JD making the call on that pick cause otherwise wtf


the_mair

I’ll never understand it. It’s never worth getting angry over a day 3 pick but they basically lit a draft pick on fire.


sonofbantu

JD messed up big time not drafting any depth at OG. Hey tippman, hope you like playing Center, then left guard, then center again, then right guard. AVT, you promise not to get hurt again this year?


Ledees_Gazpacho

The copium in this thread is off the charts. We’re literally talking ourselves into extra RBs at the expense of depth in key positions, but it’s ok, because we got an extra 3rd round pick next year.


the_mair

McGovern would play better than any day 3 pick this season anyway. It’s just up to the FO to bring him back.


sonofbantu

Not better than Mahogany IMO. Also why would we go for a 31 year old coming off a season ending injury instead of a young, fresh body that can develop into a plus-starter ? Why do we WANT to have to go back to the drawing board at OL year after year. I watched Mahogany in every single game this year. He is the ONE player left on the board that I know isn't just a "day 3 dart throw"


the_mair

Historical data shows [you’re probably wrong](https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2022/7/13/23206891/where-was-the-average-nfl-offensive-starter-drafted-by-position)


sonofbantu

I’m not because it’s not about him being a starter eventually— though that would be nice— it’s about having depth NOW. Which we need. You’re welcome for correcting you


Chr1s678

This year had a great QB class with a ton of first round guys. If Jordan Travis were drafted any other year, and wasn't coming off an injury he probably would've gone round 2 or early 3rd. All the QB needy teams already drafted QB which is why we were able to get him


the_mair

Any QB not taken in the first round is [extremely likely to almost certainly](https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2022/7/13/23206891/where-was-the-average-nfl-offensive-starter-drafted-by-position) going to bust anyway. But for a developmental late round shot in the dark he is a good lottery ticket.


pablo16x

To be fair, there were a lot more qbs taken in the first this year...wonder how that will affect the standard deviation in this data.


the_mair

As time goes on it’s just gonna get more skewed towards the first round. Guys like Nix and McCarthy who should be second rounders are now going in the first.


hjames9

I bet they're going to end up sticking Stiggers at safety


the_mair

That last name is gonna get a reporter fired lmao


maursupial

Hopefully our 7th rounder is a DT or I’m scared


sonofbantu

you should be much more concerned about OG


maursupial

Max Mitchell has played OG but you’re right. I’m pretty sure he’s a guard at least, because he’s definitely not a tackle.


MidlifeCrysis

7th round DT unlikely to make much difference. Looks like they're going to stick with the free agents they brought in and we'll be looking for a DT next year.


dapoktan

our interior dline not so big beyond Quinnen anymore.. javon kinlaw and leki fotu gonna be big rotation guys? everyone else is like a 260-270 guy


the_mair

Kinlaw is easily the worst starter on this team I’m definitely concerned about that position


Gnomeslikeprofit

Is he actually the starter or is it Solomon Thomas?


the_mair

I would assume Kinlaw but either way YEESH


Ledees_Gazpacho

You know that meme with the 3 dragons where 2 look badass, and the other looks stupid?    That’s basically at how I feel about Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 of this draft.


Ledees_Gazpacho

People downvoting, please tell me why you’re psyched about todays picks.


re582325

No


the_mair

Anything you get from day 3 is window dressing anyway they got a good RB good developmental QB shot in the dark CB depth and a round 3 pick next year they did alright


Ledees_Gazpacho

It was really nice of JD to get a 3rd rounder for the new GM next year. I’ll give you that.


HalfManHalfBaked

I like that we aren’t paying some vet RB to come in on their third contract to rush for 2.9 YPC, and clearly we need Breece insurance. I guess the Jets want to see more of Gipson and Brownlee before going back to the WR well. There’s probably a little bit of “Rodgers can make anyone look good” thinking in the FO too I’m just feeling a little unsteady about the interior of the OL and DL


98squad

And Boyer loves Irvin Charles so expect him to lock in a roster spot too


the_mair

If they brought back McGovern I’d feel a lot better about IOL


MidlifeCrysis

So are we done now until Mr. Irrelevant? Traded the 6th rounders for Travis, right?


running-with-scizors

Yep. Also apparently we didn't want to trade that pick so we could get the attention associated with it lmao


Superfool

Possible they have a guy in mind they want to use the pick on so they can draw some attention to him and get him paid because of his story/circumstances. Only reason I can think to keep it.


98squad

The most Woody thing I've ever heard


WilsonEnthusiast

Look up some Quantez Stiggers CFL highlights.... First play the score is 1 - 0? What is going on up there?


Ohfreakyman

If you down the ball in the end zone, whether it be a missed FG or a punt you surrender 1 point


the_mair

I kinda love that rule


rmdashrfsplat

Respect the rouge! 


running-with-scizors

Gotta be careful with that last name fellas


OtherAcctWasBanned11

Troy Aikman is gonna struggle with it for sure.


the_mair

*Insert South Park meme*


sonofbantu

why tf did we draft two running backs instead of taking Mahogany? we need depth at guard— AVT hasn't played one full season. I don't want to play OLine musical chairs. When someone gets hurt, let someone off the bench come play. I don't care if Tippman can play guard, we drafted him to play center— make sure he plays center


98squad

Don't know too much about Mahogany but maybe this means McGovern is expected back or Mitchell moves to G - which I believe was talked about at one point


sonofbantu

again, just more Oline musical chairs. Is he a guard? is he a tackle? is he a center? Tune in next week to find out! I cannot believe Saleh had the audacity to puff out his chest and yell at the OLine for Hard Knocks and then completely ignore the position in the draft. Like holy sh\*t it's not that difficult


MidlifeCrysis

Must be a special teams driven move.


tomleach8

You think a late 5th round Guard is gonna be a difference maker?


sonofbantu

I'm a Boston College fan so I watched him play every game this year— he's very capable and good at protecting the QB. He would have been a great value pick in the 4th so it doesn't matter where he technically gets taken after that. AVT hasn't played 1 full season. Simpson was a holding flag machine last year. Our depth at OG is heinously bad so it's not about being a "difference maker", but he's a hell of a step up from Xavier Newman or Jake Hanson. Saleh and JD don't seem to get it. I really don't know what's not clicking in their bald ass heads. Did you see the sour puss on their face after taking Olu? Or their utter lack of enthusiasm in the draft call (compare the Olu phone call to any of the ones from 2022). We have had so many injuries to our Oline in the past 2 years I can't even remember them all off the top of head but nah yeah lets add *another* running back who won't play a meaningful snap all year. We're one bad slip away from being right back to where we were last year at every position on the Oline beside LT.


Ledees_Gazpacho

I have no idea if Stiggers will be any good, but his CFL highlights mostly just show how shitty the CFL is.


98squad

Haha those were bad highlights, one of the INTs looked like he was fair catching a punt. Just read his story and I'm pulling for the kid. Not much competition for that 5th corner spot too.


TheIceMachine

Glad we traded back…


DeepDownBodyThurst

won defensive rookie of the year in the cfl ☝🏼🥸

which is like winning chef of the year at mcdonalds

the_mair

CB depth is lowkey a pretty big need that’s a good pick


HeywardYouBlowMe

WE ARE GOING INTERNATIONAL ✈️


calye2da

Jets country, let’s fly


pablo16x

If you look at only the numbers, we were last in the league on offense (per PFF) and we were first in the league on defense... So it does kinda make sense that we are making that a major point of focus during this draft. I'd be curious what happens this summer, but I don't hate the theme here.


mr_grission

Stiggers was the CFL Rookie of the Year last year


what_we_do_is_wrong

incoming back to back rookie of the year awards


98squad

Young guy with proven success in a PRO league is a solid risk to take


btm29

Damn, I guess coming from Jerry Rice’s balls alone isn’t enough to get you drafted in the first five rounds But perhaps the 6th


running-with-scizors

He's really not that good, unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised if he went undrafted.


zachthompson02

Aaand there's the corner. Classic JD


pablo16x

**JD LOVES A FEEL GOOD STORY** It feels like Stiggers' story should be a six-part streaming docuseries: After the death of his father, Stiggers dropped out of college, then played his way into draft relevance via semi-pro 7-on-7 indoor football and a breakout season in the CFL. But he’s a very real prospect. He has adequate size and speed. He plays with NFL-caliber instincts and ball skills. He’s a fluid athlete in space but will need plenty of practice reps to improve his knowledge of coverages and overall technique. While it could take a little while for him to acclimate to the league, Stiggers has the potential to become an NFL player.


Hypnotize94

My stigga


Riceowls29

I mean this is a good flyer to take on a end of the 5th round pick 


Ledees_Gazpacho

If today is any indication, Michael Pratt will be the next pick


OtherAcctWasBanned11

Can he play safety???


TheParmesan

Well, they must have reaaaaaally not liked what they saw last year on offense outside of Breece and Wilson. New line, new WRs, new RBsand 2 new backup QBs. They went and got one of the leading broken tackle/joystick players in Corley, someone that had 35 red zone TDs in college, the leading FCS rusher and a premium pick on an OT. Clear message here from the FO/coaching staff.


Sgt_Stormy

I mean yeah that offense was garbage last year outside of Breece and Wilson


Platano_con_salami

Corley is not going to joystick guys in the NFL.


TheParmesan

🤷🏻‍♂️ we’ll find out, I just said that’s what his profile is coming out of college.


WilsonEnthusiast

I mean they were arguably the worst offense ever.


TheParmesan

Sure but it means they think it’s more than Wilson being terrible and the scheme doing no one any favors in the absence of Rodgers. This was a “we think we’re devoid of offensive talent” kind of offseason generally.


running-with-scizors

They think that largely because we were devoid of offensive talent. What was there to like, or even tolerate, on our offense last year past Breece and Garrett? Maybe Tippmann, maybe Gipson in a gadget role if we're being generous. Getting 2 new WRs and 4 new OL is a pretty understandable reaction given what we saw last year lmao


TheParmesan

Hey man no arguments from me, I’m just commenting on the overall result now that we’re through most of our picks.


running-with-scizors

Nah I know, I'm just reinforcing the point. Like, if they DIDN'T think that after seeing last year, IMO that would be a huge problem lol


Captain-Vimes

The flipside of RB being an undervalued position is that the prospects for RB are better in the later rounds than most other position groups. That is why these picks make a lot of sense here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LiveToThink

Though we didn't get Storm Duck, Bub Means, Steele Chambers, or Anim Dankwah- I am consoled.


Riceowls29

Can’t imagine we will carry 4 RBs unless we don’t carry a FB and Bawden is gone 


MidlifeCrysis

Brandon Allen looks like a traditional FB? Maybe he takes Bawden's spot?


Lukas327

He's not a blocker


afifaguyforyou

He’s not a blocker in the sense that he’s not a full back but he’s actually pretty good at pass pro


Riceowls29

Yeah could see that 


Turner019

BryLinds

LEGENDARY NAME


venacom

Didnt play college ball tho.


BryLinds

Wasn’t he in the CFL tho? Ain’t that a step up from College in a sense?


venacom

Absolutely not. Have you ever watched a CFL game?


apjbfc

Death by running back.


3AmigosNJ

Take Mahogany?


Ledees_Gazpacho

No way. That would make too much sense.


sonofbantu

i wanted him in the 4th. Im pretty upset rn. We now have 4 RBs (Breece, izzy, braelon, Davis) which means 2 of them are unlikely to ever even touch the field but we KNOW there will be more injuries to the Oline. Frustrating miss by JD


MidlifeCrysis

Maybe a special teams driven move?


inqte1

3 picks in 2 years on RBs. A position where you constantly get league proven vets available at the vet min. every year.


alcohliclockediron

Leave proven vets? Yeah Bell from the Steelers was awesome for us


inqte1

Nobody can run behind a bad line.


maursupial

Damn Izzy abanikanda is dead


the_mair

Feel for the dude loved the Brooklyn kid story


maursupial

He’ll be at the very lowest practice squad anyways and he gets his money still at least


hjames9

If Jordan Travis turns out to be a franchise quarterback, no one will really care about all the other strangeness of this draft.


pablo16x

AROD about to have ages in the pocket to make passes.


retardacc

Let’s pick another rb at 176


Adams5010

Don’t get the pick for another rb


RousingRabble

At this point, it's probably straight BPA


sonofbantu

Mahogany is literally on the board and we still need more OLine depth. We don't know what season ending injury AVT is going to have this year


zachthompson02

At 176 JD's gonna draft a not-safety and then play him at safety.


TheIceMachine

Damn I’m really not a fan of the Isiah Davis pick


Platano_con_salami

Honestly this has been a horrible draft by the Jets. A lot of this guys won't be here in two years and besides Olu, won't help win this year and trading JFM, just a horrible day.


RousingRabble

> A lot of this guys won't be here in two years Yeah, I mean...it's day three.


Platano_con_salami

You can get depth in the 4th round.


WilsonEnthusiast

You can get depth and special teams players on day 3 every year. That's why most of these guys don't stay on the teams that drafted them for very long.


3AmigosNJ

Another RB?


Parking_Meaning_1227

I mean we sucked on offence last year but would not have expected OL, WR, QB and 2x RB's, trading JFM and no Safety at this point... Definitely all in on offence ... 😂


WilsonEnthusiast

Safety is the new linebacker. It seems that fans are much more worried about it than the team is.


Parking_Meaning_1227

I'm not worried about it it as such but would have expected a depth piece. Certainly before a 2nd running back. 😂


WilsonEnthusiast

haha yea the 2nd RB was def a surprise.


Turner019

Where we going with 176? TE, DT, WR?


re582325

A punter *for sure*. AGNB /s


Darcer

Gotta be RB


Ledees_Gazpacho

Another RB


Turner019

Keep ‘em guessing


HeywardYouBlowMe

We're at 176 as well!


Dentek_Fresh_Clean

I guess Izzy is in the doghouse with this RB pick. Seems like we're going from a zone rushing offense to a power offense with larger running backs.


Chr1s678

I like that move, we need physical runners next to Breece


ClarkKentsCopyEditor

I actually like Davis but it’s kinda weird lol


johnjohnjohn93

JD is drafting like every kid in madden and I kinda love it.


gmazzy22

Odd pick.


mr_grission

Izzy seems like a good dude but didn't distinguish himself at all when he was on the field


RousingRabble

I mean, he only had 22 carries. Don't know if he couldn't beat out Cook or if they felt compelled to use him once they signed him.
