Ro Smith is still my favorite ILB, but Tre's physical features at ILB is insane. Don't be shocked if he runs in the 4.4's. The guy is a freak and arguably the best tackler in the draft. With that said, even though he's likely a better fit at ILB in a 3-4, many project him as an edge rusher in a 3-4 because of his ability to set the edge and his athleticism.

So whoever we’d even think about drafting at 6 would mainly have to be an edge rusher, not an ILB I wish we would just move Lee to the edge and have him bulk up 10 pounds.

Yeah, if he hits the 4.4's. We have to consider him if we handled the QB situation. I think him and Ro will be great LBs but Edmonds flexibility is what Bowles needs on defense.

If you watch tape and you watch him set the edge, he's nasty. The guy's tackling and form is Kuechly-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still be way too small if he did that. He also isn’t a pass rusher. It’d be like asking Enunwa to be a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, we might have no choice but to try it if he doesn't start playing better. He's been abysmal through two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GangGreen420 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 If they sign Cousins, Nelson is the best pick at 6 IMO. Do it right for once please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it right for once please My first option would be to trade back. If we can't trade back, Nelson would be my pick as well. I would like for the Jets to really address the OL this offseason. Center in FA and, Guard and LT in the draft. Sets us up to have a great OL with Cousins at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee is a Linebacker not an EDGE, he's perfect at Will and he's getting more consistent. This was only his 4th year playing Linebacker I think.

That being said... the staff won’t quit so easy on him with such a big investment in him. He will start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was only his 4th year playing Linebacker I think. him being OLB can be done if Bowles actually wants 100 percent zone blitz defense but I would trade him to 4-3 team instead of trying him to OLB in 3-4 scheme. His physical presence has been an issue so there is no reason to continue trying him at different spot in physical scheme. 2 years in pro is not enough to quit on him, anyway. 2018 season will be his last year to make a case for 5th option. If Jets happen to fire Bowles and hire Jim Schwartz next winter then Jets could keep him around for two more seasons. Who knows. If Jets get Edmunds then they will have to double dip on edge since Bowles will ask Edmunds to do some heavy coverage duty that Lee has been used for last 2 years. Pass rushing remains problematic for Bowles if he wants to improve that area. One trick pony like Hubbard or Turay can sub in for Lee.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
