not high on Andrew Thomas?
He went at 10 to cleveland in my scenario...
Then it's essentially a lock. If there's one thing I learned in being a Jets is always expect the WCS to always happen.
I'm with Mex on this one. The number of times we got a guy we never expected a shot at in the past decade is pretty high. Sam Darnold, Jamal Adams, Mo Wilkerson, Kyle Wilson (we were all thrilled on draft day, even if it didn't work out), Sanchez. I mean all of those guys were longshots to end up Jets, and yet they all did.
It might not be that bad of a scenario when you consider Oakland, Tampa (depending on if they retain Jameis or decide the play is to sign Rivers for two years and develop someone behind him) or Indy might both look to move up to 11 to take Herbert.
I also think if this scenario plays out where there's such a tackle run by pick 7 that Douglas might try to move up to 8 using the 3rd we got from the Giants in order to nab his choice of remaining talent on the offensive line.
I agree on count 1, if Herbert is still on the board, somebody is going to try and jump up. I actually imagine it would be Miami jumping up to 10, since they would never trade with us.
As for us moving up, I just don't see it happening. I think that Douglas will hold his water, in hopes somebody of the top 4 OT's falls, and if they don't he tries to drop back to recoup some value, or goes and grabs the top playmaker on his board, even if it isn't an offensive stud. Particularly if he believes a lock down CB is available.
I want Rodrigo
A kicker that wears sports specs. Get it done.
He needs to be squarely on the top of our board once we enter the 6th.
