IMHO, all this Bowers talk is Jets smoke, and if Brock gets drafted in the top nine, the Jets Win. Chicago has needs , and with only 4 picks in this years draft, they are a team that could trade down, Jet competition in the trade down scenario. I’m an OT guy, but if they go weapons WR Brian Thomas over Bowers. Looking at today’s Mocks, reminds me that this Jet organization will draft Defense any chance it gets. Lighting my torch , if they draft Defense at 72, seriously.
Nice post today. I’ll say it again there should not be one defensive player taken in the draft - not one !! The defense is built and even if it was at 80% it’s still good enough to win with - shessh
This whole uniform nonsense is exhausting! The only Jet uniform I ever purchased was the Joe Namath/ Don Maynard vintage Jet Jersey! The rest are garbage. I’m not gonna launch another remote if we take Bowers but he’s probably number 5 or 6 on my wish list. I was a little more keen on him until I read Blewitts critique on him in a recent Jets X-Factor post. The fact that nearly half of his catches occurred at or behind the line is scrimmage is concerning. And his inline blocking is not good at this point. He’s kind of like our current backup TE as he does his best blocking on the move. Which is odd because that’s ( a stalk block) usually the more difficult block.
The more mocks you see, the more Bowers at 10 is there. His popularity at ten is taking off like a runaway train going downhill.
I think whoever the Jets take at 10, they will be criticized for taking that player. Why, because they are the Jets. If SF or KC were at 10, their pick will be called brilliant.
I think that aside from offensive tackle or wide receiver, the NY Jets Torch and Pitchfork Brigade will definitely not be happy if
Bowers is taken at 10. It will be received with the same angst as McDonald being taken last year at 15.
If the Jets are able to trade down, and Bowers is still there, the Brigade might accept the his pick there with a lot less agita.
Unless one or two teams goes off chalk, doubtful any of the top three wr will be there at 10.
Another problem for the Jets are the Bears with the ninth pick. They say they are staying there. Their biggest needs are listed as wr and ot. If the draft goes chalk, 4 QBs, 3 wr and Alt, that’s 8 players. A Jet target could be taken. By the way, the Bears have a solid tight end in Cole Kmet, 73 receptions 719 yards, 6 tds. Bowers isn’t going there.
Dt prospect Sweat, evidently wasn’t on the dean’s list this year. Then again, talented players who are pampered all their lives and especially now with NIL money probably have the I’m above the law attitude. Will this hurt his draft status, doubtful. There will be a thousand excuses coming out of his camp.
March 25, 2019, Chris “ Calvin Klein” Johnson speaking about the Jets new uniforms called them “ pretty bad ass”. Evidently his brother Woody “ Ralph Laruen “ Johnson disagreed. Why, because next week they are introducing new bad ass uniforms that look like Joe Klecko and Mark Gastineau’s old uniforms.I guess what goes around, comes around.
Teams like the Steelers, Frisco and Dallas who constantly win might tweak their uniforms every 20 years but the Jets keep on changing.
SIDE NOTE,For me personally, the Patriots old AFL helmet logo is the greatest in NFL history.
What do Sam Darnold, Quincey Enunma, Jamal Adams, Robby Anderson, Leonard Williams, Chris Herndon and Avery Williamson all have in common.
If you said they were the models when the Jets rolled out the red carpet in 2019. You would be partially right.
All of them were also gone within 2-3 years. Aside from Enunma injury retirement, all traded.
Hopefully next weeks models will be here longer
Woody, you will find Jet fans next week who will be taking out their credit cards out next week quicker than a Sugar Daddy’s mistress to purchase a Sauce jersey. Some of these fans will fall over each other to purchase a new Rodgers Jersey just to put their purchase up on Facebook. Hey, look at me, I’m cool.
Unfortunately, Woody, speaking for the NY Jets Torch and Pitchfork Brigade, we don’t care about new uniforms, we only care about one thing, winning a Superbowl.
The only way I will purchase anything with NY Jets on it, it must say Super Champs 202_
Let the fans who squandered money on an Avery Williamson kick ass Jersey or a # 50 Vern Gholston or a #56 Vern Gholston Jersey,( yes he actually changed numbers after his rookie year), let it be their loss.
Us old timers have been burnt enough times with this new uniform nonsense.
IMO the weekend's mocks show one of four things: Either the majority of them 1) know nothing about a team's needs and draft history; 2) they just do their draft solely based upon whom they think the BPA is at that point and ignore need and positional value; 3) they intentionally make dumbass picks just to rile up fan bases and get clicks; 4) they're just flat out stupid and know nothing about football. For any knowledgeable sports writer to have the Jets taking defensive players with two of their first four picks, taking a S in the 3rd round while totally ignoring the OL or having them take a 3rd string CB in the 3rd round while ignoring the OL or taking a FS in the 4th round who is terrible vs the run when they already have two FSs, and only one SS who is coming off of major surgery and desperately need another SS imo is stupid and should be fired unless he's doing it for clicks, and in that case the whole website and publication should be shut down. They're an insult to an intelligent fan.
So the legacy uniforms are for the road only! Unbelievable. Even more unbelievable is that they will have no home white unis. Lord, please deliver us from those two morons!
Truly we are in the smoke and mirrors part of the off season. Nevertheless, our requirements are offense….a tackle who can be a backup and part-time starter this year and take over the role next year and another WR. The remainder of the picks are needed for offensive depth, developmental QB, backup IOL, RB etc….
Here is something to consider about taking a guy like Bowers at 10:
How likely is it that the guy that the Jets take at 10 plays? I think Bowers is more likely to contribute given his profile as a playmaker who teams will scheme open to get the ball in his hands. An offensive lineman with that pick is just as much of a luxury pick, considering they don't actually need to select someone to start along the offensive line. If they were to go into the season tomorrow, they'd have all five starters along the offensive line filled, and adding a rookie doesn't likely change that. The tight end position, is a little bit different. You'd likely see the Jets actively scheme a guy like Bowers into situations where he has the ball in his hands. He pretty automatically usurps the second string tight end spot on the depth chart, and is also pretty likely to push Conklin into a slightly different (and less targeted) role.
All of this is to say that the offense, while it was terrible last year, is largely set when it comes to starters. There aren't a ton of reps up for grabs. I think the defense, on the other hand, is a bit different. I could conceive a safety, defensive tackle, or corner coming in and earning substantial reps right away. Now; I also could see the same happening for a wide receiver. I, also, think that it's really important that they add an offensive lineman in this draft. Where they add one, however, isn't nearly as important as just adding some talent with upside. It'll be a push and pull with how guys are valued at different points in the draft and whether they can find value at later points in the draft based on perceived strengths in the class of draftees. It's possible that, because there are so many top tier tackles, a developmental tackle that they really like gets pushed down to a spot that would be valuable to the Jets.
