If we would've signed someone like Thuney and ignored the EDGE rusher position...you'd be complaining about that.  I get how this works.

Every position wasn't going to be filled in FA. This horse has been beaten to death. 

Like i said, if IOL gets ignored in the draft...then i'll join you in your quest for blood. 


I'm also not going to hold Douglas to the countless failures from our previous GMs.  This is his 2nd draft.  Let him do his thing.


You're a smart guy, Cato....i know you can think about this rationally.  Perhaps the Jets PTSD runs a little too deep for you and some others here.  Just stay the course.
If we signed someone like Thuney and missed out on Lawson I would have said that signing Thuney was the more important choice. I've been beating the same drum for years.

We had no shot at Thuney and Douglas pretty clearly chose sticking with McGovern at center over making Linsley the highest paid center in the league (we'll see if that pans out).

Douglas is pretty clearly committed to building the OL through the draft. In my opinion, this is the correct approach. We'll see if we're able to execute.

I'm freaking out day 3 plus a whole decade since we've had a functioning OLine. It's the only platoon on the roster that I actually care about right now.

Basically day 3476 since 2011 Week 1.

What qb will we target with our next "tank for qb" philosophy in 4 years?

More like 3707 since the AFC title game in Pittsburgh.

I'm not assuming we're not upgrading the OL when all is said and done - I'm just "going on record" that it would pretty bad if we rolled with the guys we have/don't expend FA/draft capital on the position.

what if we took an IOL in the 7th round?

How did you discern that from my post? Obviously they're both needs that should be filled but to suggest that a guard is a more important signing than a premier edge rusher is ludicrous.

That’s just your opinion. I would rather have Thuney than Lawson by a country mile.
