Thank you for this interesting look at the combine. As fans we tend to focus on guys that play positions of need. This article helps understand why the drills are helpful in the evaluations.

Since we (writers and fans) have no clue what the Jet’s present evaluations are on Becton and Herbig, what are the odds of the Jets starting the season with Becton and AVT at tackle and Tomlinson and a resigned Herbig at guard with a second round drafted center. They would still have Mitchell as the third tackle.

If that possibility exists than it would give the Jets the option to draft another wide receiver or a linebacker or safety. I could see a wr more prominent, adding more weapons to whoever will be the starting quarterback.

Or Douglas could do a reversal from past drafts and trade down, there appears excellent tackle options with early second round grades.

Very good article. Maybe I should not assume but do JD and the Jets staff use this kind of insight? I am hoping that the Jets get Carr then in the draft trade down a little to get more picks maybe a late 2nd/early3rd plus another 5th rounder. Based on your criteria in the article do you have scorecard that we could use to eyeball all these OTs? I bet that would be valuable information - sell it. :)
