Bobby816 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Connor Hughes seems to think that GVR will be our starting RG. So the OL pre draft is... LT: Fant LG: Lewis C: McGovern RG: GVR RT: Edoga I still think we go OL round 1. Now it’s interesting with this signing where we’d put him.

SDotNova Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 All things considered, I’m happy with what Joe Douglas has done with the OL. This is a good signing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe56 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Being one myself, always like when the Jets sign guys from Long Island Edited March 22, 2020 by Abe56 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famousj Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I really like the signing. I think this would supplant Alex Lewis at LG. I understand people want to get rid of Brian Winters. Does Greg Von Roten have experience playing at RG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskid007 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Full out competition for the starting 5. Love it. FWIW I don't think the Jets are going to commit to anyone as starter other than McGovern. Also, Douglas wasn't kidding about versatility: Fant: experience at LT and RT McGovern: experience at RG and C Lewis: experience at LG and LT Andrews: experience at LG and C Van Roten: experience at LG, C, RG, RT 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be fine with wr round 1, but I'm looking for the stud OT round 1 to really upgrade our ol. Cause right now I see upgrades with Van Roten and McGovern. Both are solid players.

JetsandI Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hopefully, they are able to trade Winters. Like extra day 3 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 You guys are going to love Greg. I have a picture of him fist bumping my 2 year old daughter from Argos training camp in 2016. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskid007 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Listened to Greg Van Roten on Connor Hughes podcast today. Cool to get some insight on how his FA went. He was in contact with the Jets the entire way, but other teams that were interested in him included the Bills, the Dolphins (prior to signing Flowers), the Redskins, the Seahawks, the Bears, and the Bengals. He mentioned that free agency wasn't what he expected because teams were just checking in on him and gauging what he was looking for, rather than actually making an offer. As I stated earlier, I think this is how teams have adjusted in the legal-tampering era because they can kind of get an idea what the deal would look like without executing an official offer. Considering how organic free agency is and that each addition changes a team's budget, teams would rather just stay close and offer once their other plans/intentions clear up (for example, GVR mentioned how Seattle was interested but were kind of waiting around on Clowney). Acknowledged that his market was weird because he was a rare, low-milage vet who got a late start to his career but also has plenty of experience. I liked that perspective. He alluded that the Jets did not make the strongest offer, but they showed the most interest and that him returning home to play for the team he grew up rooting for was a strong pull as well. Another thing he noted that has somewhat flown under the radar is that he was being brought in to "compete for a starting job" - meaning nothing is given. The way I see things shaping out: Fant, Edoga, and 1st rounder battling for 2 tackle spots GVR, Lewis, and Winters battling for 2 guard spots Only player at risk of getting cut is Winters. If he wins outright, they'll all remain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
