The point is- many are bringing up age as a con. No one is bringing up H as a con. So your comparison makes no sense. Back on topic- I don’t think it’s a terrible idea. I don’t think we will or should do this considering our current situation. The window is now. Another season without a SB could be the end of McB. I don’t think that’ll be the case, but it’s possible. So I don’t see why McB would do this, especially this offseason. If we had won the SB last year, it makes a lot of sense. that said, I like Hooker and think he has a chance. I agree that the Vikings and ravens are in play in rd 1

That’s a good trade. I hope we pull this off because Addison will be gone by the time we pick We have 3 guards that are all better than our RT and you’d rather draft another guard? I don’t get this

You’re saying that Diggs isn’t worth a 1st round pick because he was drafted in round 5? In a redraft, he’d be a top 10 from that class. If not, top 5

https://ras.football/2020/01/20/stefon-diggs-ras/?amp that’s what they said about Diggs too

Again, very simple: because I think he’s a lot better than those guys in the 5th there’s a reason addison is regarded as one of the top WRs in the draft. You don’t see it because he’s small and you’re certainly entitled to it. The majority of the board obviously disagrees with your take. I explained in detail why I like him. Yet you continue to badger. Just agree to disagree and get over it. I’ve already explained my reasoning

Yes, I feel a lesser version of a first team all pro WR is worth burning a first on. word it however you like

Thanks. It’s such an important trait to have as a WR and generally something that you have or don’t have. It’s a feel that many players never develop. He has it in spades and it’s one of the main reasons he’s open so often.

I agree that protecting Josh is the #1 priority. If we took Harrison over Addison, I would understand why. I just see Addison as a 1st rd prospect while the OTs available are more 2nd rd picks. Just a hunch- people that don’t like addison haven’t watched enough of him or are generally opposed to drafting smaller players. I am definitely generally opposed to drafting smaller players due to injury concerns. But I’ve watched a lot of Addison and only have the one concern.

Simply put. I see a weaker version of Stefon Diggs. His footwork and route running stands out to me the most. He has innate understanding of leverage and how to utilize it. No wasted movement. Great release packages, change of direction and body control. 4.49 is plenty fast enough when you know how to play WR like addison does. Injury risk due to size is the only con I see. He’s tough to cover.

Addison. 💯

I like him. If he were there in rd 3, I’d run to the podium. Decent value as a Rd 2 pick. At the 27th pick, I don’t like it. I think he’ll be gone before our pick in rd 2 strictly because he brings an entirely different dimension. He can change an offense. I’m a big believer in 12 personnel and hope that we implement it into our offense. It creates lots of mismatches in todays nfl with so many teams running nickel as their base. He would be an asset in the run and pass game. My only question would be, can Dorsey make the best use of him. He’s been a believer of 12 personnel in the past. But show me the baby.

I think it’s very short sighted to look at the WRs and think “I want elite size or elite speed” when the most important attributes are getting open and catching the ball.

Yeah Davis was solid…. But he also played guard. He didn’t have to worry about the speed rush on the outside. There have a been a bunch of mountainous OTs. They just disappear into the abyss of fats and you forget about them. on a more serious note, I hear what you’re saying. There aren’t a lot of them…. But the fact the fact that there are so few we can name as “good”, gives me much to worry about. I’d rather have Harrison, Mauch, Bergeron and possibly Duncan.

Trent Brown had his moments too. But also showed that he was pretty terrible when he wasn’t at his absolute best.

You want a WR with elite size? All time, how many WRs with elite size have turned out to be great? Maybe 1 out of 100 imo

Monstrous OTs scare me. 370 LBs is unnecessary and, imo, shows lack of work ethic. Millions upon millions of dollars on the line. Control your weight. how many good OTs are 6’7- 350+?

With Addison still on board, I agree. Looking back at last seasons offense, we REALLY missed having a stud slot WR. Josh and Cole had a special connection and it was clear that Cole’s replacements weren’t good enough. We need more. maybe that guy is Shakir? I’m one of his biggest supporters and feel like he could be that guy. I love his RAC ability and toughness. Does he have the innate ability to find that soft spot in the zone. Does he have enough wiggle and footwork to take corners to the woodshed when he has to get open? He may very well be a solid slot WR. But is that enough? Cole was an all pro slot and we were close to unstoppable with him in that role. While we had success last year on O (thanks to 17 and 14) the offense was missing what prime Cole brought to the table. I think downs could end up being a top flight, all pro slot WR. He looks special to my eye. And if the top 3 WRs are off the board, I wouldn’t mind him being our pick. I think he’s a sure fire “very good” slot WR at worst with a high floor.

We better not trade down of addison is sitting there for us @ 27. I’m in favor of trading down in almost any other situation (minus Johnston or JSN miraculously being available). what don’t you like about Addison as a WR? Weight is the only thing I have a problem with.

Nice. I think he has the highest floor of all the WRs by a country mile. No chance he busts imo. Pairing him with his college teammate adds camaraderie to the locker room.

I think Richardson is a terrible QB. He’s just such an impressive athlete, that an offensive coach with an ego (and they all have egos) will be tempted to prove how great they are by being the man to mold him into a good QB. If there’s a type of player coaches roll the dice on, it’s his type. but yeah…. He’s awful at playing QB. If play on the field was the only thing that dictates where a player is drafted, he’d be the last player drafted

You think we can get 33,, 65 and 188 for Ed?

His character concerns were the main reason, but he also tore his Achilles in February prior to the draft. I think the injury also had an affect on teams passing on him. I thought he was elite level but the video was too much to overlook with the 9th pick

And Dexter Lawrence is right there with the best of them.

Dam you @wppete good- I don’t want him falling to the jets anyways. with the 13th pick, the NY Jets select Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR, Ohio St. We don’t plan on repeating what the Packers did for AR. We’re gonna give him weapons- Reuniting Garrett Wilson with the guy he says is better than him. Wilson and Lazard on the outside with JSN in the slot. We feel Lazard is a below average #2 option. Adding JSN makes Lazard a very good #3 and Hardman a great #4. Mims as the 5th. We strongly considered Broderick Jones and Darnell Wright after losing out on Skoronski, but feel that JSN is as can’t miss as they come. We love our playmakers. Considered Kincaid as well, but we’re happy with Uzomah, Conklin and Ruckert. @inaugural balls is on the clock

Jets still looking to trade down, but will be making a pick once on the clock if no offers.
