rampantjet Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Just now, JetsandI said: Daniel knows the draft algorithm. lol. Still, yeah there is no hard evidence for Murray's situation. I would just be baffled if they went to all of these lengths and alienated Rosen just for a smoke screen that will probably gain them absolutely nothing. And Rosen isn't the type of guy to let that sort of thing go. He will hold a grudge against the Cards forever. Just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate Beachum. He's better than he usually gets credit for, but he has had a history of injury in his past. And I could be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that Shell may not even be ready for camp. I've lost track of who the backups are. Probably better not to know. Say the Jets draft Jonah Williams. Well, he might start the season RT, slide into a guard position when Shell is ready and someone else is banged up. And if, God forbid, Beachum goes down, the Jets have an answer and a plan. We can't forget it's all about Darnold right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't forget it's all about Darnold right now. Beachum is ok for a stop gap but going on year 3 that is no longer a stop gap. He is an above average pass blocker which is nice, but he is a flat out liability in the run game. Having someone who is elite in the passing game and at least average in the run game at LT would be a big boost for Sam and the offense in general.

ekill08x Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Problem with Jonah is many believe guard is where he belongs. I am not spending a first round pick on a guard. Even though we need linemen, we dont have that luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not as dominate of a player as Nelson was last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like his versatility a lot and really think he can be a pro bowler in this league at any one of the 5 positions in the OL. I unlike you think he can play LT. If he struggles (which I don’t think he would)... move him to RT or OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doumeyer Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 After looking at all the other teams that are behind us in the draft, no way can I come up with any team, that will give us what we want for our third pick in the draft. There is no reason for the Giants to move up, all the teams ahead of them have QB's, they are going to sit in wait. No way we can go wrong by drafting Allen. Somebody on the board early in last year college season was raving about Allen, ( who the hell watches Kentucky football ) but he was 100% correct. After the way he played last season and the great combine show he put up I really feel he is our man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought process for a team like the Giants would be moving up to a spot where they know a team below them will not leapfrog them. Yes the teams between us and the Giants might not need QBs, but that wont stop those teams from trading down with a team that does want one, and knows the Giants do too. It's no different than why we moved up to 3 last year. We knew the Bills were getting aggressive moving up, so we squashed it before they could and guaranteed that we got one of the top Qbs.

Nobody is arguing that. ...but doesn't change the tactical aspect of trading up to ensure you get a guy you are afraid could possibly be picked by another team leapfrogging you. Denver, Cincy, Miami and Washington could all easily trade up with the Bucs to snake whomever the Giants are wanting. They all have assets to make the trade too. The Giants know that, so they will wait until the draft starts to play out, and if they see things shaking out their way, they wait. But, if they see things getting rocky and they start hearing rumors about Bucs or Raiders or whoever entertaining trade offers, better believe they will try to move up. Look back at KCs massive trade up for Mahomes. Nobody saw that coming, everyone thought they were fine with Alex Smith and didnt suspect them to trade up at all. You just dont know until it happens. But make no mistake, it can definitely happen, and there is a precedent for it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockice_8 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I think Jonah will be a high level RT long term or elite RG. I see no reason why he should be a top 20 pick. Top 5 no but top 20 seems ideal for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I don't get real strong feeling about any team trading up to get qb in a panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I don't get real strong feeling about any team trading up to get qb in a panic. Nice find. Let me rephrase. Nobody actually expected that trade to happen beyond speculation. A jump up from 27 that high? Everyone was surprised when it happened including yourself. What's more likely? A trade up from 27 in to the top 10? Or a trade from 6 to 3? The 6 to 3 trade all day everyday, and that type of trade has happened far more than the other. I'm not saying any one of those teams give me strong feelings that they will trade up, but saying that it can easily happen and there is a precedent for it. Every year in the draft a few surprise trades happen that nobody sees coming because some teams are better at keeping their intentions unknown.

Maybe not at 4 but mark my words they are not committed to Carr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
