Jets essentially overpaid to rent a deep/jump ball specialist for an all in win now Aaron Rodgers season. 
 

we weren’t supposed to march that price tag….given we were basically a 180 degrees from where the Jets are

I am happy.   We already have 2 veteran WRs.  If Mingo and a rookie aren't allowed to play, how do they improve?  We draft players that are developmental and we want to discard them as soon as they don't become superstars.  In fact, we are more patient with first round picks when we should be more patient with the day 3 picks.  Develop them. 

I am OK letting Theilen and Johnson be the veteran WRs this season.  We have a WR deep draft.   I think a first rounder will fall to us at 33 and I think we can find one later in the draft.  Even if we lose both Thielen and Johnson after this season, we would still have 3 or 4 non rookies--add another WR then.

While I belive that he wasn't the best value and that we had a number, let me just say that we don't appear to be in lose-now mode either. 

It looks like we are trying to build up for the future. A one year rental on a 30 year old WR who can’t stay off IR isn’t worth overpaying in our situation. A cheap one year rental to help develop our QB? Sure? But that wasn’t the case.

From where the jets hope they are.

I expect them to do what the jets do and fall on their face in spectacular fashion. But they are throwing everything in it because they know they won't ever have as good as a window as this year. They have no future.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
