hopefully they go QB in the Draft.  Come on down Fournette!!!! 

Their GM is a best available type guy. Keep in mind, he drafted DT Leonard Williams even though he already had Wilkerson and Richardson on the roster.  

I highly doubt they reach for another QB (Hackenberg '16) again this year. Jets will sign a QB in free agency and will not have an immediate need at QB when they pick in the 1st.

How are they going to sign a FA QB? They're cap strapped as all hell.

True, but he also knows that his honeymoon is almost over and if he doesn't start winning soon (patience in NY is not a common trait), he'll be drafting the best player for someone else.  And it's clear to the world that he desperately needs a QB.  But even if he doesn't see any QB available as good enough to be an immediate impact, I could see him going CB to try to win with defense (after all, that is his specialty and foundation).  CB is a huge need for them, and there are some top shelf CB's in this draft.    

That's not to say they won't go with Fournette, but I think it's just as, if not more, likely they go cornerback (or possibly QB).  Bowles needs to win, not just collect a bunch of good players that can put up stats.  They don't have the luxury of looking to put pieces together without showing significant improvement in wins.  And most teams usually start with one side of the ball to build as a strength.  But we'll see.

Bowles was also a DB and DB coach his entire life before being a head coach.

Ironically their board mentioned us this week-Clausen in the 2010 2nd didn't stop us from taking Cam, it was said.  A retread in my opinion would seem as stale and spinning wheels useless as anything could possibly be if I were a Jet fan.  Taking another on day 2 may result in anarchy.  Reaching for a QB at 6 may face longer odds, but would at least provide fresh hope and something to cheer for.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
