IF we hadn’t beaten Washington

I know the discussion of beating Washington has been beaten to death.  However, now that the draft has taken place, who do y’all think we would have taken in that scenario?  Guessing it would have been between Sewell Pitts and Horn, with the likeliest choice being Sewell.    I’m good with how it turned out btw

Where do you think they had Wilson on their BPA board?  I assume they would have Trevor #1. 

Hard to say. I don't think they had any intention of drafting a QB in this class unless it was Lawrence as more stuff comes out.

 If we had not beaten Washington, we would have been able to trade up for Wilson.  I read we liked Lawrence and Wilson.  NY was not 100% sold on the idea of abandoning Darnold, and they would have taken a first rounder in 2021, 2022 and maybe a second in 2022 (what Darnold cost us) to move up.

But had we made the Darnold trade, I have to think we would have traded back---and still tried to acquire a #1 CB.  Here is why--there (in my opinion) were only 2 #1, lock down/zone/press etc. corners.  I said this before the draft in mid April---as much as I love Pitts and Sewell, we HAD to have a #1 CB to put on the WRs in this division.  And our CBs were KILLING us last year.  71% completion rate against us outside the numbers....who sucks that bad?

So trading back would have been a given. 
If not an option, we take Sewell.  elite LT > TE/WR/Star

Actually, yes they were or rather yes Joe Douglas was.

The writing was on the Wall during that season from hell. 

Yes, Adam Gase was history but Joe Douglas(Jets GM) wanted to draft HIS OWN GUY (as Sam was drafted by the previous GM) so he was gonzo no matter what.

but there were repots we talked to the Dolphins some about trading to 3.  If you are going to 3 it is for a QB.

That was before the Darnold trade.

Once they got Darnold, they were out of the quarterback market but they didn't want anybody to know that.

I think they would have drafted Lance if available

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
