JetsandI Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just now, Colt45fool said: Why do you want a RB in FA? Draft is loaded with talent Get your qb round one, take a rb and OL in round two. Could even wait till round three for a RB. One that's cheaper and has a higher ceiling. If RB class is indeed loaded then you have no reason to draft one as you could get one UDFA RB. Also, having RB aboard could eliminate RB need for draft in case if Jets actually make a trade up. Or spending a pick on other needy position.

Good pedigree. I wanted him bad as a late round guy his draft year. Mocked him to us almost every draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Tebow was one of the great Florida QBs These things were years ago; these players have gotten ample run in the NFL and have been MEH in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Tebow was one of the great Florida QBs These things were years ago; these players have gotten ample run in the NFL and have been MEH in the NFL And Crowell has produced pretty well the last few years with sharing carries. He's had nobody at QB (which he will still have here) and teams weren't worried about the Browns passing game and he still produced. You might not like the move. But the players talent isn't in question. His character was and that's why he was an UDFA. He's had not 1 issue since getting kicked off Georgia and has produced in the NFL. He's still has 3-4 good years of football in him. He needs a RB to compliment him and hopefully we address that in the draft... but Crowell has talent.

You are right that is one stat that has not change in 65 years, 4 yards per carry has always been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jag68Sid87 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm not a huge fan of this move, but I understand it. Crowell is exactly the type of move-the-chains RB Bowles likes/wants. We probably weren't getting Barkley anyway, but what about Michel, Guice, Jones, Chubb, Penny? I'd like to still draft a potential home-run threat at RB, someone who can really catch the ball too...and then trade Powell before the draft.

Ideally for me me roll with a rookie and Crowell as the main backs with McGuire getting some works as well. In theory this makes sense but Powell is still super serviceable. I'd take Powell and a rookie and save our cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akomplice Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I don't even remember anymore, but didn't most Jet fans hate the Ivory trade at first? I mean Crowell is essentially a better catching Ivory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
