Protect Sam Darnold 2. Give Sam Darnold weapons So, aside from the fact that they're likely to Jets this thing and kill his career before he has a legitimate chance, I'd see them going OT or overdrafting a WR early in the draft. JMHO Taking a page out of the old Dan Snyder playbook - flashy signings that likely won't amount to more than a couple additional wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I've decided that if we don't go DL in the 1st with this loaded class, I'm all aboard the Hockenson train at #17. The double TE sets with him and Njoku to go with Landry and Calloway that would allow creativity in not only the double TE but freeing up Njoku as a hybrid would create so many mismatches. Throw in Chubb and Hunt as 2 back sets to go with this...and of course KITCHENS!!!! AHHHHH! The possibilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too much talent in the top 60 picks of this draft to be drafting a second TE in the first round, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get him in the first, I'd take his fellow Iowa TE in the 2nd or 3rd or Irv Smith. I'd still prefer an EDGE/DT guy in the first at 17 for the record, but if we go offense, I want Hockenson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistakey Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 i will admit though i want either sacks or touchdowns in the first round. interceptions would be ok too but id rather build from the dl out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eyeballs this day say Njoku will be looked back as a meh pick. I would be fine grabbing a TE or two in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in Chubb and Hunt as 2 back sets to go with this...and of course KITCHENS!!!! AHHHHH! The possibilities! I’ve just started watching some of Hockenson game film, and I can’t lie I’m quickly getting on his bandwagon. If he’s BPA at 17 I’m definitely down! (May not be there). He kills 2 birds with one football. Really good receiver and really good blocker. In fact so much so I’ve seen him set up LBs and safety’s that he’s going to block and blow by them. 😂. Good speed, good size, decent hands, good blocker and smart. He’s the total package at TE which we haven’t had in YEARS. He would immediately become Bakers best friend.

NateDawg Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I’m at the point that as long as I think the player is good, I’m good with whatever route we go. Just gimme a good player. OL, WR, DL, LB, let’s go. Gonna be a great season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care to draft RB, TE, OG or SAF in the first round given the more simple transition to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's a position we can get fair production out of in lower rounds and develop. I mean guys like Cameron and Barnidge were unsexy, but effective as heck and didn't cost much. The talent at the top of this draft just supports drafting a more premier position, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheeRealDeal Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 If we aren't going DT in round 1 the guy I want most after watching him for the first time recently is Andy Isabella. He can be a game breaker on offense. I honestly am totally off the idea of Odell Beckham because I would rather have Andy Isabella. When I first made the comment he was a sure fire 1st rounder I thought he measured at the combine 5'10 and change. Turns out it was only 5'8 and change, but I watched his games again and decided F it the kid is a bonfire 1st rounder I don't care if he were 5'5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blocking effort is there, just lacking technique. Seth Devalve can block pretty darn well also, same with Orson Charles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
