Sorry if this has been said on the prior pages of this topic, but taking a look at our current depth chart here are a couple of spots I would somehow like to address before the season: WR--I like the trio of Crowder, Mims, Perriman but both short and long term (Perriman on one year deal), I think we need to add another proven body that could grow with Sam. Obviously, it's slim pickings on the waiver wire, but I'd look to seeing if Douglas can work his magic again in the trade market. I know Curtis Samuel has been floated around, but here are some other options who may be made available with their recent FA and Draft moves: Dante Pettis, San Francisco 49ers Kenny Stills, Houston Texans Daesean Hamilton, Denver Broncos Curtis Samuel, Carolina Panthers RB--This one will be easy. I think we should only carry 3 this year and they should be Bell, Perine and Powell. So I think we should resign Powell. EDGE--I'd like us to bring in one more veteran to the group. Golden or Curry works.

I LOVE THE DRAFT!!!

Or two of those guys are close with Douglas and vowed not to tip his hand. It's going to be OL or trade down.

Ok--maybe you are right. I will double down here, a WR will not be our rd 1 pick. Maybe it's not OT at 11, but it's going to be OT in Rd 1.

Long time reader, seldom poster. However, I think the debate between OT or WR in rd 1 is fascinating. I have a couple of thoughts on what I would do vs. what I think Douglas does (spoiler: I think we have same approach): We all love these WRs, they are polished, pro-ready, game-changing. Will these WRs help out Darnold? absolutely 100%. But I have some concerns on it: 1. Our playcaller. I have zero confidence that Gase will be able to maximize any of their talent. Remember in Miami, he had a Top 10 WR in Devante Parker who looked like a bust until last year sans Gase. 2. Offseason schedule. Normally these guys would have rookie minicamp, OTAs and then Training Camp to learn the playbook and get up to speed. Obviously with the pandemic, we will see drastic changes to that. I have concerns that the continuity and timing will be off. 3. Philosophy. I think this one is most telling. Joe Douglas believes in building the trenches. He has said so in his multiple press conferences. He also comes from an executive tree that has those same feelings. My dates may be off on this, but he has worked with the Ravens, Bears and Eagles. If my memory serves me correctly, only three WRs were drafted Rd 1 by those teams. Ravens--Hollywood Brown and Breshad Perriman Bears--Kevin White In fact, I think this understanding further cements our approach to the draft. Let's use the Ravens as an example. Great team, #1 seed in AFC last year. Below is their WR/TE group from last year. Hollywood Brown, Miles Boykin, Willie Snead, Seth Roberts, Jaleel Scott, DeAnthony Thomas, Mark Andrews, Hayden Hurst, Nick Boyle. Outside of Brown and Andrews, you can make that case that this may be the worst collection of pass catchers in the NFL. So what made the Ravens so good? First, obviously coach and game planning but also a great offensive line (and running game) coupled with a playmaker in Lamar Jackson. Now I am not comparing Darnold to Jackson, but we all believe here that Darnold can be special given the right situation. I think the situation starts with building an offensive line that can support a running game. The weapons will come after. In closing, I believe that one way or another, our first round pick will be an OT, which one is anyone's guess but I think Douglas would be content with any of the big 4. In the event all are gone, Jets will trade down and look at Jones/Jackson. There is a ton of talent in this draft at WR. I don't think any of us would be mad with a top 4 OT in round 1 and a combination of any of the below receivers in rds 2-3: Pittman, Reagor, Hamler, Aiyuk, Shenault, Higgins, Claypool, Edwards, Van Jefferson, Bowden, Duvernay, DPJ, Gabe Davis.....I can go on and on. Pretty simple to me, pick will be OT.

Any news on Hankins? Would really like signing him as I think DLine is one of our bigger need areas.

Side note: I think Brockers would fit as a 5-tech. Huge cap number but if he gets released....

Jamal better be included in every single pre-draft visit to the facility as well.

The thing with Pryor is he probably is going to want another 1 year prove it deal. I wouldn't love that for the Jets.

I can't stand why people are so annoyed with this move? I guarantee you the jets are going to have more than that $10MM left over in cap space this year. If having him in the locker room grooming our guy is what he will do then so be it.

Yes he is going to cost somewhere between $7-9MM but if we release Skrine we save approx. $6MM. Not a bad trade off IMO. Personally I think Skrine is most overrated player on the team.

With all the RBs in the draft...I hate this so much.

That contact is disgusting. Glad we didn't offer that. Thought he was over-rated anyways. I'd be fine resigning claiborne and perhaps getting EJ Gaines or Melvin.

Had a dream last night this is how our offseason ended up. Sign me up!!! Notable FA: Cousins Allen Robinson Jensen Honey Badger Re-Sign: Demario Caliborne ASJ Cut: Skrine Draft: 1. Denzel Ward, CB 2a. Harold Landry, EDGE 2b. Sony Michel, RB 3. Nathan Shepherd, DT/DE 4. Sean Welsh, G
