I can see him shoot up boards. And Jefferson has ties to us since he's our WRs coach's son. I don't know much about Hennessy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan4life51 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Just watched highlights of Jeudy and Lamb. How does Jeudy compare to Julio and Cooper? Holy crap Lamb looks like a #1 superstar WR from the moment he steps onto the field. Sounds like he has great work ethic and intangibles as well. Very tempting to take him over an LT ugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Jeudy is a better version of Cooper. And Lamb is a version of Hopkins for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small flaws he displayed this year can be worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby816 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Id just like to state like I do every offseason how much I hate that FA is before the draft. I truly wish they’d change that down the road. From a team building standpoint it makes WAY more sense to grab young talent in the draft and then fill holes in FA. Not the opposite. I know some will say it shouldn’t matter just grab the best player even if you have a starter there. But that’s doesn’t happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point but reversing it would potentially negatively affect the market value of some veterans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby816 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 We get 3 new starting OLineman in FA... can we not all agree Jeudy or Lamb should be the pick at 11 in that case? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyt31 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm down if one of them is an LT. Justin Jefferson is in consideration for the first round as well. There are so many WRs, I don't care when we pick one honestly. I really like Michael Pittman jr in the later rounds too. He always gets the ball at it's highest point.

Lamb is going to be one of the best in this class. He has superstar written all over him. Edit- plus if we grab OL in FA we don't have to wait for a rookie to be ready to play.

Sure, lets keep building the OL like we have been.....with FA. That has worked so well for us. Enough already, draft the best OL at 11. Period. FA WR are a lot more successful, usually. OL not so much. Everyone complains about Mac's aversion to drafting OL early, then you want to avoid drafting OL in rd. 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone complains about Mac's aversion to drafting OL early, then you want to avoid drafting OL in rd. 1. I do think odd are we draft an OLineman. But it’s not out of possibility that we rebuild the OL in FA. If that happens... grab the bpa and there’s really no argument that Jeudy and Lamb purely on talent are probably 2 of the top 5 players in this draft class. Furthermore. When have we tried the FA rebuild OL route? JD was left with a hole at C and got Kalil out of retirement. Harrison, Winters, Shell and Edoga are home grown. Alex Lewis was traded for for a 7th round pick. Our only FA OLineman is Beachum and he’s our best OLineman. Unfortunately for us our 2 best OLineman are FAs in Beachum and Lewis so JD has to make a decision on both of them. But there’s plenty of very talented OLineman in this years FA class to spend on. And when we don’t need much on defense... that should be where the money goes. So it’s not at all unlikely we rebuild the OLine in FA.

Dr.O Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 We need to do both, sign at minimum 2 quality Starters and draft 1 of Thomas, Wills, or Wirfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doumeyer Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) I like what the Dallas Cowboys & Tenn Titans did when they used first round draft picks to build a O line. We did the same thing when we drafted Nick Mangoold, and D;Bickashaw Ferguson in the first round, and then plugged a hole at guard with FA Alan Faneca. As much as I want another WR the KEY is a strong O line. The center position has to be high on our needs Edited January 5, 2020 by doumeyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that not fit need and bpa? Oh I’m not saying they wouldn’t be I’m saying the likelyhood of us actually committing that type of money to a singular position group is unlikely when we have so many other needs on top of extending Jamal and potentially Maye.
