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.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
