So, lets be real. Who are we going to pass on Leo/Cook for?

The FML pick is going to be Reuben Foster. Macc will go out and say he was the most talented guy on the board and some of us will start to rationalize the selection and say that he is the next Patrick Willis blah blah blah.

I feel like collectively we gave a pretty honest assessment of last year's draft after it ended. The general consensus was that the first 2 rounds were shaky, but that the team drafted well after that. Lee was promising but not impactful, Hackenberg was in detention, but it appears we may have some promising starters down the road in Jenkins, Burris, Shell and Anderson.

Looking back, I have no idea who we should have picked in round 1. None of the guys I was targeting were available. I liked William Jackson, but he was out for the year. Paxton Lynch didn't look too hot this year in limited action, but he was expected to take some time, so that is ok.

In the second round, I wanted Mackensie Alexander. He was pretty bad this year according to Pro Football Focus.

I hope they don't pull the trigger on Trubisky either.... his throws are behind receivers and I just don't like the way he looks.

@ years ago the best player available was the top rated player on just about every pro or amateur scout's draft board . We either had to trade out or take the player . We took the player, but one could argue that had he not been there, the BPA might have been Gurley . We will never know .

Last year we had a whole bunch of nothing to choose from and after trying to trade up for a QB and then an OT, we took what they believe was the BPA with need as a factor . The need was for increase speed in the Line backing core .

This year, the BPA(Cook) could be a RB, but that player might have some concerns medically . I think the pick will be on the offense, and I still think it's either going to be an OT, the RB or a QB .

it's gonna be a CB or an OT.

Fournette seems to be sitting right at the intersection of BPA and Need streets. Mike Williams is about the only name I pause to mull over if both are available at 6. But the Jets taking a WR at 6 might signal the end of the universe.

Fournette would be a classic Macc BPA pick. So not sure why anyone is freaking out that they Jets brass will pas on him if he is there.  

I will post a thread on this. BUT- I believe the best NFL CB to come out of this draft will be S.Jones out of Washington.

I think the Jets need to cut Revis and draft S.Jones.

I know 6 is considered high for him. I would love a trade down scenario where we get S.Jones and add draft picks.  


But the need is there (our secondary was horrendous last year, and it was not jut b/c of the safety play, it was b/c our CBs were beat a like drum on every play. 
The value is there- easily the most skilled CB in the draft. Playmaker. NFL ready. Great leader. Great athlete.

S.Jones has VERY few weaknesses. His biggest knock is his lack of ideal size and strength for an NFL CB. But he is 6'0 180 and played on fully capable of playing on the outside. Its an overstated concern. 

Its only a reach if the player does not pan out. If Hack ends up being a Pro Bowler, nobody will say Macc reached. People will say Macc fooled everyone and got a steal. Would you not have drafted Tom B. overall instead of the 6th round?

If the Jets 'reach' for S.Jones at 6, and the fan boo b/c we are taking another CB, becasue we are not drafting offense in the first round, because Milliner and K.Wilson were busts and somehow that correlates to this pick and this GM, Mike Williams or a QB or Fournette (who I love-btw) were on the board...I would have no problem with it b/c I have a strong feeling S.Jones will be in the Pro Bowl in year 2 or 3.    

Whichever CB blows up the combine is who we will take.
