The Jets were either #1 or 2 against the run. They need some decent CBs, and they'll be tough.

Interesting. I won’t be surprised if they have Duke on their radar after his performance in that last game against them...

5 DTs are locks. Star, Oliver, Phillips, Butler, Jefferson (can play DE too). DE- Hughes, Addison, Epenesa Are locks, so I think it comes down to Murphy v Johnson. Murphy would have very little trade value given his cost, though you might get something...? He’s on the last year of his contract, so he’s more likely cut than traded, which saves $8 mil. Would they trade Johnson? I hope not. He gives them 3 cheap years and plays STs. Epenesa will “start” next year, so makes sense to keep Johnson as the backup LDE going forward. I think any trade opportunity is in the O line group again.

A B-News article compared him to Phil Hansen. I think that's a good one. In his prime, Hansen averaged about 7-8 sacks/year at LDE and known for his toughness. I'll take it.

Was looking to see if someone would bring this up. When you look at the teams with so-called stars, those players typically see over 75% of the snaps. For example, teams that also run a 4-3, SF had Armstead and Bosa with 75% of the D snaps; Jax had Campbell and Ngoukwe > 75%. For the Bills, Hughes and Murphy were about 65%. Over the course of a game, you would expect the rotation to have a stronger impact. Would be interesting to dig into the numbers on first half vs second....

Yeah, I got a kick out of that. They evaluated who was viewed as a steal as those being selected in some range outside of their ranking on their big board. For the Bills, Lawson, Ragland, and C. Jones were all picked beyond their projections. They then identified them as 'steals" on whether or not they "panned out." I assume that meant they were retained by the teams who drafted them. All three were designated correctly as NO.

My initial guess was EAson in the 4th, trade with Cowboys. Eason went the pick before. They went with Fromm in the 5th.

The OP said he was giving his thoughts on the draft, not the draft picks. Any analysis of the draft should include how you used your draft capital. In this case, the most valuable draft asset was used to acquire a #1 WR. Was it a good move to use all of that draft capital to get Diggs? The OP answers that question as part of his "thoughts on the draft." Btw, based on published trade charts, if you assume next year's R4 = R5 this year, it adds no more than 70 points to their R1 pick which gets them to pick 20, not 18. Well played by Beane.

All you have to do is read the OP’s paragraph here to get that logic. Maybe it was sarcasm by FC...?

I believe he said yesterday they were trying to trade up to make sure they got Moss. I'm thinking it might've been Eason in the 4th....?

Had to search to find this after I saw he got picked by the Titans. Going to keep an eye on this guy...

Oh, Heck

Houston moving up to take CB?

Yep, a lot of choices.

This will be the round for a move up. They could move up 12 -15 slots using either their 5th or packaging both 6ths.

I can see them trying to make a move before the night is done...

I like him a lot, but I just don't think they'll do it.

Not after Epenesa.

Going to be interesting. Beane certainly likes to build the trenches. A guy like Cushenberry is a great value, though I'd rather see an RB or WR

NO. they took Mims

Yeah. Cards really needed OL help. Good match.

He is raw, but a lot of potential.

Yep. Two positions of need taken with solid players.

Jets are having a good draft.

Yeah, my thought as well...
