Assorted 2022 NFL Mock Drafts

[Heismanberg]

I dont care how good he is, if we draft an off ball lb with our 1st pick I'm going to lose it.

Lloyd is a great pass rusher too

Still suffering from PTSD with the Darron Lee pick?

Not even.  If we are picking top 5 with a chance to get a franchise edge rusher, we can't defer that opportunity to get more draft capital.  We haven't had one since John Abraham.  Don't overthink it, take Thibs or Hutch and keep it moving. 

As much as I hate taking a wide receiver top 10 I'd prefer that over an off the ball linebacker in this stage of our rebuild.  Zach Wilson (I actually typed Zach Darnold) can't fail.  We need to do everything in our ability to ensure that doesn't happen.

Assume that Thibs and Hutch are gone. Nobody on this board would pass them if they are there. But at 4, odds are they are gone.

I get being positionally aware with high picks. Thats why I dont want Linderbaum in the top 10. But we have a QB (hopefully), we have Fant and Becton at OT, and the best edges might be gone.

An OT in the top 10 is fine given Mekhi's innjries, but we have 2 startable options already, both of whom can play left tackle.

After that, you can sell me on a lot of positions, starting with WR.

I'm drafting under the assumption both EDGE guys are gone.

If someone wants to move up to 4 to take Neal or whomever, I think walking away with a WR and a day one starting LB plus more draft capital is a great outcome.

Absolutely. Getting our third and fourth choices in the first round this year in order to be able to draft more Perines, Clarks and Zunigas will be the making of the team.

Or we can be adding the likes of Moore, Hall, and Carters

I get our drafts have been less than stellar in recent years...and this is a huge one for JD...but all I'm saying is if we don't love someone at 4 and we can slide back and still get our guy, I am in favor.

I am not. If we want to be picking later in the draft then we should win more games, when we suck we need to take advantage of the can't miss players at the top.

If the top 2 edges are gone, who is or isn't a can't-miss player becomes much more of a debate.

Problem is there isn’t always a can’t miss player left at the top, and if you can slide back you should. Or it could be that we already got one top guy as a pass rusher and the next guys are the tier 2 pass rushers that we no longer need and somebody else wants, so it makes sense to stockpile assets there.

This. I get thst we dont draft well typically, but we need to draft well to build a winner. 2021 is a great start if Wilson can be the answer but we need to build on that. That is how you build a core. There isn't really a workaround if we dont draft well. And if we have a great draft to go on top of 2021, all of a sudden we are building a good team.

[Badger]

I get that we don't draft well typically,

I'm responding to this sentiment more than I am to you specifically, but it's not really fair to say this when the current regime only has two drafts under their belt that are almost entirely TBD.

For the JD regime, this statement you made is true.

But for Jets fans, believing in the draft is key to actually being good. But it’s so freaking hard to believe we can do it, because outside of 00, 06 and 07 our drafts have been a disaster for over 20 years. That’s the piece Smalls is pointing out. People don’t believe trading down (or up) works because we can’t pick the right guys
