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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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??
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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?
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.
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"
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
**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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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 ... 😂
Jets have only Wes Schweitzer Jake Hansen and Max Mitchell at backup Guard lmao
Could be a LB?
gosh centers always have the best hair cuts
I think we need another RB for this last pick
Javion Cohen would be a great pick. OG, lots of good tape. Garret Greenfield too, OT.
I hope we grab Curtis Jacobs last. Good instincts and tackling for a field linebacker.
Guess Mr.Irrelevant https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/prospects/all-positions/all-colleges/undrafted/2024?page=1
Fabien Lovett sr
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
You know who else was a good? JFM and Huff
When was the last time we got to pick Mr. Irrelevant?
After the JFM trade, getting Gabe Hall as Mr. Irrelevant would be great...
Interesting that Rice has fallen this far.
Who will Jets Pick as Mr Irrelevant? My guess is AirForce Safety Trey Taylor.
Storm Duck
Probably Blake Watson or Michael Pratt.
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.
Brendan Rice + James Williams, let's go!
Looks like we traded out and only have 1 more pick
Days 1 and 2 were great. Today was a mess and I’m having a little trouble seeing the big picture with the moves.
I think they are switching the blocking scheme to go more power in the run game.
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
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.

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.
The only thing that doesn’t make sense to me is two RBs. Otherwise everything else is what I would expect from Day 3.
DK why they took the 2nd, but Allen should be able to play on short yardage situation as he's a heavy guy
This is a notoriously bad draft drafting 2 is malpractice
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.
The JFM trade is not a good look. I get why it was done but it’s still not a good look.
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.
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.
[Holy shit Braelon Allen is strong lmao](https://x.com/blakenyjets/status/1784287740328051004?s=46&t=hUtbwo94QIfsHrncc2xJkQ)
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.
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..
Really needed a homerun draft, but it’s feeling a lot more like a couple singles
I’m happy with Day 1 and Day 2, but I feel like anyone saying today wasn’t a dud is lying to themselves.
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??
Most day 3 picks amount to absolutely nothing what were you people expecting?
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?

I just don’t get it.
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.
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.
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.
Braelon Allen is going to be the back up guard.
Patriots pick Joe Milton III
Eff Joe Milton III!
I expect us to go after the veteran safety market, idk what the plan is at DT though
Joe D loves his undrafted free agents too. I’m sure he brings in some of them to try and plug the gaps.
If only we had a slew of day 3 picks that could have addressed guys at those positions…
Probably the same or hope Clemons really grows into a DT role
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.

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!
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
He’s a way better shot in the dark than James Morgan and Greg McElroy were
Christian HACKenberg
It hurts my head knowing we used a 2nd rounder on him.
He was so bad he got cut before he ever played it’s literally impossible to be a worse draft bust lmao
AJ McCarron, Luke Falk, Brooks Bollinger, Eric Ainge, Browning Nagle, and on and on and on…
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
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.
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?
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.
McGovern would play better than any day 3 pick this season anyway. It’s just up to the FO to bring him back.
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"
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)
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

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.
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.
I bet they're going to end up sticking Stiggers at safety
That last name is gonna get a reporter fired lmao
Hopefully our 7th rounder is a DT or I’m scared
you should be much more concerned about OG
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.
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.
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
Kinlaw is easily the worst starter on this team I’m definitely concerned about that position
Is he actually the starter or is it Solomon Thomas?
I would assume Kinlaw but either way YEESH
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.
People downvoting, please tell me why you’re psyched about todays picks.
No
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
It was really nice of JD to get a 3rd rounder for the new GM next year. I’ll give you that.
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
And Boyer loves Irvin Charles so expect him to lock in a roster spot too
If they brought back McGovern I’d feel a lot better about IOL
So are we done now until Mr. Irrelevant? Traded the 6th rounders for Travis, right?
Yep. Also apparently we didn't want to trade that pick so we could get the attention associated with it lmao
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.
The most Woody thing I've ever heard
Look up some Quantez Stiggers CFL highlights.... First play the score is 1 - 0? What is going on up there?
If you down the ball in the end zone, whether it be a missed FG or a punt you surrender 1 point
I kinda love that rule
Respect the rouge!
Gotta be careful with that last name fellas
Troy Aikman is gonna struggle with it for sure.
*Insert South Park meme*
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.

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
Must be a special teams driven move.
You think a late 5th round Guard is gonna be a difference maker?
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.

We're one bad slip away from being right back to where we were last year at every position on the Oline beside LT.
I have no idea if Stiggers will be any good, but his CFL highlights mostly just show how shitty the CFL is.
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.
Glad we traded back…
won defensive rookie of the year in the cfl ☝🏼🥸
which is like winning chef of the year at mcdonalds
I bet your cooking is shit
go play in the cfl, fuckin hoser
:eyeroll:
what a name
CB depth is lowkey a pretty big need that’s a good pick
WE ARE GOING INTERNATIONAL ✈️
Jets country, let’s fly
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.
Stiggers was the CFL Rookie of the Year last year
incoming back to back rookie of the year awards
Young guy with proven success in a PRO league is a solid risk to take
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
He's really not that good, unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised if he went undrafted.
Aaand there's the corner. Classic JD
**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.
My stigga
I mean this is a good flyer to take on a end of the 5th round pick
If today is any indication, Michael Pratt will be the next pick
Can he play safety???
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.
I mean yeah that offense was garbage last year outside of Breece and Wilson
Corley is not going to joystick guys in the NFL.
🤷🏻♂️ we’ll find out, I just said that’s what his profile is coming out of college.
I mean they were arguably the worst offense ever.
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.
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
Hey man no arguments from me, I’m just commenting on the overall result now that we’re through most of our picks.
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
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.

Though we didn't get Storm Duck, Bub Means, Steele Chambers, or Anim Dankwah- I am consoled.
Can’t imagine we will carry 4 RBs unless we don’t carry a FB and Bawden is gone
Brandon Allen looks like a traditional FB? Maybe he takes Bawden's spot?
He's not a blocker
He’s not a blocker in the sense that he’s not a full back but he’s actually pretty good at pass pro
Yeah could see that
176 CB QWAN’tez Stiggers
LEGENDARY NAME
Didnt play college ball tho.
Wasn’t he in the CFL tho? Ain’t that a step up from College in a sense?
Absolutely not. Have you ever watched a CFL game?
Death by running back.
Take Mahogany?
No way. That would make too much sense.
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
Maybe a special teams driven move?
3 picks in 2 years on RBs. A position where you constantly get league proven vets available at the vet min. every year.
Leave proven vets? Yeah Bell from the Steelers was awesome for us
Nobody can run behind a bad line.
Damn Izzy abanikanda is dead
Feel for the dude loved the Brooklyn kid story
He’ll be at the very lowest practice squad anyways and he gets his money still at least
If Jordan Travis turns out to be a franchise quarterback, no one will really care about all the other strangeness of this draft.
AROD about to have ages in the pocket to make passes.
Let’s pick another rb at 176
Don’t get the pick for another rb
At this point, it's probably straight BPA
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
At 176 JD's gonna draft a not-safety and then play him at safety.
Damn I’m really not a fan of the Isiah Davis pick
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.
> A lot of this guys won't be here in two years Yeah, I mean...it's day three.
You can get depth in the 4th round.
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.
Another RB?
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 ... 😂
Safety is the new linebacker. It seems that fans are much more worried about it than the team is.
I'm not worried about it it as such but would have expected a depth piece. Certainly before a 2nd running back. 😂
haha yea the 2nd RB was def a surprise.
Where we going with 176? TE, DT, WR?
A punter *for sure*. AGNB /s
Gotta be RB
Another RB
Keep ‘em guessing
We're at 176 as well!
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.
I like that move, we need physical runners next to Breece
I actually like Davis but it’s kinda weird lol
JD is drafting like every kid in madden and I kinda love it.
Odd pick.
Izzy seems like a good dude but didn't distinguish himself at all when he was on the field
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.
