It's cool to go rookie if we have to, but we're going to need good vets that can help Rodgers right away. Then see what rookies can earn their spot. If we draft a rookie and it takes him a year to catch on, we may be screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Did a mock draft on some site traded down with Broncos don’t know a lot of names out side of the first round or 2 cause I’ve fallen off a bit this year on college ball but I ended up with: R1(12): Taliese Fuaga OT Oregon State R3(72): Johnny Wilson WR FSU R3(76): Rod Moore S Michigan R4(111): Donovan Jackson OG OSU R5(147): Jordan Travis QB FSU R5(149): Theo Johnson TE Penn State R6(187): Christian Jones OT Texas R7(229): Nate Watson LB Miss. State R7(255): Derek Wingo LB Florida R7(256): Kendall Milton RB UGA dont know if it’s realistic but I tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.O Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Warming up to Fuaga a bit he seems like he has the athleticism to make it at LT, would prefer we go QB or Nabers but I’d be comfortable with him at 10 or maybe a trade down if we get lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be mad at all, but the more I think about it the more I want Nabers. I think X and Brownlee can be solid depth WRs provided they continue to work to get better. Rodgers would have a field day with Wilson and Nabers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfuel34 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I don't want a WR for the first round pick. You can get a WR 2 in FA. A guy like OBJ and others will be out there. If I can't get a OT at 10 I want Bo Nix. He can sit behind Rodgers for 2 years and be the QB of the future. GB did this with Love we need to do this too.

Love Nabers any other year he’s WR1 but unfortunately he’s coming out with a generational guy in Marv. I’m not as high on our UDFA guys would much rather add a Vet to come in and Play the 3. Another guy I love is Keon Coleman, I see a little BMarsh to his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope they aren't jump ball winners only. Them and Nabers would compliment Wilson so well. Pittmann, Higgins and Evans same. We have 6 shots at landing a great WR opposite him.

JetsandI Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) If Jets took Malik Nabers in 1st round then we should expect him to be Aaron Rodgers' primary target. Wilson would fall off and whine about a lack of targets. It would be idiotic of Jets to do that way. Wilson stays number one as Jets should add more talents around him. I don't know about taking Bo Nix in 1st. Top 10 to be carrying clipboard for at least 2 years? That sounds unappealing. Top 25 is acceptable for that plan. If Jets plan to take qb then Michael Pratt should be the one. I still am not sure where is the best value for him but 3rd round may be an ideal. I advise Jets to ignore qb discussion until 5th round so taking Pratt if available there. Quinn Ewers, Brady Cook, Cameron Ward and Carson Beck stay for another year in NCAA. They are good prospects to scout for 2025. That gives me a pause against drafting qb in upcoming April. I still eye for Austin Reed as UDFA but I just want someone who can get rid of football quicker. When you watched 49ers and Texans games and you kind of felt like their qbs threw a bunch of baby football, that is because they got rid of football quick. Aaron Rodgers won't offer that but if he hurt again and Jets need to find a way to stay offensive longer. Quick passer helps. Also, quick passer could keep OL from heavy wear and tear (major injuries as well). Edited January 16 by JetsandI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsandI Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Jeff Ulbrich will coach the National team at Senior Bowl. Too bad that the OC is Shea Tierney who runs different offense. I guess Ulbrich will need to recognize offensive players' potential versatility for JD and his company to form a scouting digest. The roster has yet to sort out so I don't know who will be on his team at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was at the Pats game a few weeks ago he gave me five and was smiling and jumping up and down to end the streak. He talked to me for about a minute. I told him we as fans are so glad they ended the streak. He laughed and said we are all happy it ended. I then told him he had a great D and said thanks and went into the tunnel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsandI Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 https://jetsxfactor.com/2024/01/18/ny-jets-draft-scouting-report-te-brock-bowers-georgia/ Quote Bowers also had the sixth-highest PFF pass-blocking grade among tight ends at 75.7, albeit on just 23 reps. His 69.6 run-blocking grade ranked 16th out of 153 tight ends with at least 175 run-blocking snaps. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.O Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I wouldn’t say I’m against taking Bowers but looking at our OC/QB history does make me think it’s a bad idea, I feel as though if your going to take a TE that high you should make a point to make him a big part of the offense and not just a security blanket which I don’t think we will do. Hackett I don’t believe has ever really featured a TE much in the passing game and the only TE that really did much with Rodgers was Jermichael Finley and to a lesser extent Jared Cook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaheim Bell of FSU may be better option for draft value if Jets are interested in acquiring that kind of TE. Bell received a wake call about blocking job as he made some improvement at that area. Still, he isn't there yet but his work in progress should take notice for drafting scouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
