  2. yea lets draft a lineman at 10 that isnt gonna start and contribute right away yr 1 that worked out great last yr with mcdonald when we couldve gotten a wr that couldve helped the offense

  3. In all fairness, the reverse is going to happen if Williams or Garret Wilson gets injured and we lose due to some Lazard drops. If there’s anything you should know about being a sports fan, is that there’s always going to be a reason to complain

  4. You can make the same argument if they take o line and a couple of skills guys go down. They need both.

  5. I feel like the answer is obvious. There are just not that many heavy weight men who are also athletic. But if you are an idealist and want to make the Super Bowl THIS YEAR an upgrade at TE can do that. But if you are a realist (and let’s be honest, you’re a Jets fan) you go OL. Both seem appealing to me, rest assured whichever option the Jets go with will likely end up being the wrong one.

  7. I think the calculus is even easier precisely because we have relatively talented players at the TE position already. That is already a strength of the team. And sure, people will argue that Bowers is “special” and cannot be compared to your average TE. But the reality is that we have desperately needed depth on the O-line very single year for the past decade, and it has to be addressed. The single most valuable/critical polayer on our squad, the player whose health our playoff aspirations are MOST tied to, is Rodgers, and he HAS to be kept upright as much as possible. The answer is OL. It’s always been OL.

  8. Should move down and try and pick up a 2nd, Take Latham or Mims in first, Leggett, Corley, Polk in 2nd and nab Jordan Travis in 3rd. We add an insurance policy/LT of the future in first, an Impact WR in the 2nd, and a developmental QB in 3rd

  9. Better get your expectations in check because every chance Saleh and Joe D have gotten they have hyped up Carter Warren. They have been trying to tell the fan base we’re comfortable with CW filling in and I highly doubt they are picking a tackle at 10. And I want them to trade down and take a tackle but listenting to them I think it’s oduzne and if he’s gone bowers.

  10. I know Smith won’t play all 16 games. So at some point he won’t start, but I’m comfortable with Warren and Max to do some spot starts this year. Also we will pick up another linemen later in the draft or free agency.

    Bowers is just on another level as a prospect compared to every tackle not named Alt

  11. You can say the same with the WR core though. We are one Williams/Wilson injury away from being bottom of the league. Hell, QB is really the biggest make or break position.

    Hard to justify not supporting either group. Really the only wrong answer is Bowers.

  12. What’s funny about this whole debate is the only opinion that matters is Joe Douglas’. How he feels about Carter Warren, how he feels about the vet swing tackle market, how he values Fuaga/Fashanu/Fautanu v Bowers. And, in particular to what I think is most important, his view on raising the ceiling v floor in 2024 and whether or not he cares about what the tackle position looks like in 2025.

  14. Man idk why yall are so divisive, I’ll be happy with whoever we take. I can see the argument for OL, TE, WR. I swear some of you just need to breathe.

  15. “Team OT when Wilson/Hall/Williams/Conklin goes down and the offense only has 3 viable targets” we can’t predict the future. The fact of the matter is we don’t know what the right move is because we don’t know who will be healthy and who won’t. It is what it is. Do the best with what you know.

  16. We have so many needs on offense, whoever we take at 10 isn’t fixing anything, especially given our horrid coaching staff 

  18. It’s also team OL when GW goes down week 6 or Mike Williams isn’t fit till week 11.

  20. Important to note, we won’t have our pick of WR1 vs OL1 the way the bengals did in 2021. We’ll be picking potentially OL2/3 vs Weapon3/4. If the weapon is a significantly better prospect than the OL for the long and short term you have to take that player

  22. These guys who want Bowers and a wr are just hoping that everything works out perfectly. That’s the reality. You know how often that happens in football? Never. Never fucking ever. As if we need more evidence than the last two fucking years.

    Build the fucking wall.

  23. All Jets fans when whoever the Jets end up picking ends up being the wrong choice because the team is cursed

  24. Rodgers doesnt need an elite OLine. He needs guys who will catch the ball when it comes their way.

    Odunze/Bowers>>>>OLine

  26. If any of the top 3 WR’s are on the board you take them no questions asked. Those 3 WR’s can help the OL just as much as a tackle just by helping get the ball out of the QBs hands faster.

    That said this is a deep OT draft with a lot of guys who can come in as a guards and be used to kick out later on or just come in and take over the RT spot right away. There will still be a decent tackle prospect in the 3rd round.

    I’m all for going OT if the 3 WR’s are off the board but sorry if any of those WR’s are available for grabs you take them and don’t think twice. Bowers I don’t feel the same about though.

  27. Any team that is depending on a rookie to hit and propel a team to Superbowl is a failure.

    You draft for the future, not for the same year. We need receiver, we need **multiple** lineman. We have two 33yr+ tackles, one has been injured his who career, on year deals. We a guard that has never played an entire season. This is on of the largest tier one OT classes in a while.

    Bowers is special. But your asking him to be a HOF type TE out the box. Just a good TE ain’t isn’t the **one** thing preventing us from getting to the bowl. A good tight end season would be Conklin’s last season for crying out loud.

    LT has got to be one of the rarest physical skillset and hardest to find. 6’5″+, 330lbs+ monsters that move like their on skates in rare among the human population.

  28. The fact of the matter is, whoever we draft, if that person becomes a star everyone is gonna love the pick and forget this was ever a conversation. If that person is a bust, then it’s the biggest mistake we ever made… Like if Sauce was Dee Milner, we’d all be losing our minds right now about how much of a mistake it was to draft a CB at #4. If Jamal Adams turned into Troy Polamalu, nobody would be complaining about taking a Safety at #6. That’s just the nature of it.

    We’ve made enough moves to where I think either OL or offensive weapon are viable options. I’ve gone back and forth on it so many times to the point where I honestly don’t care which direction we go, as long as he’s good at what he does, which as we know is never a guarantee. If we do go with Bowers or WR at that pick, I’d like to see us sign some more OL depth for sure, but other than that I’m willing to go against my better judgment as a Jets fan and trust the process.

  29. Trade back and draft JC Latham is the right move in my book. He can play both right and left tackle.

  30. When mike Williams gets injured week 4 and you’re back to stone hands can’t separate Lazard as your second option in the passing game

  31. Blake just retired from the NBA. I don’t think he’ll beable to play T for us

  32. Oh no. How could this have happened to us? 🙆🏽‍♂️

    *Us being a team that has not had a starting lineman finish out a season uninjured in about a decade.

  33. But then they realize we got Dominick Puni in the 3rd who is able to fill in solidly after sitting and learning for 6 games. Input thumbs up kid GIF here.

  34. Exactly have they not learn there lesson get the OL with the 10th pick
    With the 3rd pick they may be able to get WR Devontez Walker or Jermaine Burton both are under the radar good talented potential future pro WRs.
    Folks the WR pool is deep and Bowers is going to catch one yard passes to run for 10+ yards college yes he can the NFL no he can’t.

  35. Fans literally trying to manifest an injury just to prove a point is stupid AF.
