I think either Saleh or Douglas should have a little talk with LaFleur. Two years ago the Jets had the worst wide receiver room in the league. Now all of a sudden after drafting Moore and high fiving each other draft day, he gets 1 look in two games. Same with Mims with this he doesn’t play special teams nonsense. He went in 9 games with Gase 23 receptions 357 yds. How do you not use the talent that you have. Moore is 5’8, should be a slot not running the routes he runs as an outside wr. Mims can be explosive if given the opportunity, plus he has shown to be an excellent blocker, Hall’s run against Denver, he helped spring it. I think both players would really help qb Wilson. It would help Garrett Wilson immensely also if secondaries had more than him to worry about. Look at Hill’s and Waddles numbers at Miami. Both Mims and Moore have to be the most misused second round picks of recent memory. I understand that the Jets haven’t had success with second rounders but in this particular case it’s self inflicted
ever notice that every high draft pick Douglas has drafted has gotten injured with 3 of them season, ending one twice ? J. Johnson IF he plays will not be for awhile
I wrote about it back in the summer, but we heard that the Jets absolutely see Mike White as the permanent backup for Zach Wilson, they want him to be the longterm #2. Maybe they are drifting on that theory and want to get him the practice reps to see if he does have that potential or if they need to move on.
Thanks David for the prompt reply. I get shifting While ahead of the old guy, I was really referring to Streveler. Could JD see him as the real white knight when Zack fails?
I did not expect any moves by us. Zero chance we are trading young guns on rookie contracts. Like you, I thought the Martin move made total sense. I worry that Fant and Mitchell aren’t coming back whole. Big men with damaged knees do not heal very fast.

Heard he was going to play this weekend
I don't like the trade for these reasons:
1. We have a cap hit of 2.3 million next year. Ouch!
2. Martin was a decent player at DE/ Pass Rusher and he was also a backup OLB (He is above JAG level as a player).
3. We get little in return for eating the cap hit (A NYJ 5th to a Denver 4th is a jump of roughly 20 to 30 draft slots).
4. Denver wins big on the trade. I wouldn't be surprised to see Martin thrive replacing Chubb. He is a good guy and I wish him success!
I like the trade for these reasons:
1. We have too many DEs on the roster.
2. Vinny Curry is healthy and playing well.
3. Bryce Huff is playing well and this will get him more reps.
I would have liked to see an extra pick ( Denver 7th ) or a NYJ 4 to a Denver 3rd.
That's my 2 cents..........
Great analysis as always.
Excited to see Huff get more reps.
Still trying to figure out what Joe D. has in mind with the QBs. Clearly he has some plan in mind.
Thanks Philipp.

I wish somebody had asked JD about the strange QB moves.
Yeah I'm surprised they didn't, just to get his version of events.
Wasn't expecting a huge deadline day, but liked the move we made.
