I'd be down with Pierre Desir or Logan Ryan. Then let Maulet and Austin fight it out for the other outside spot.

Douglas is doing the 2019 Buffalo Bills strategy. Just sign a poo poo ton of capable linemen and let them compete. There's literally no way that it could be worse than last year, so I'm down.

I mean, the Bills signed three last year.
Spencer Long was Spencer Long, but Quinton Spain isn’t total trash and randomly Jon Feliciano is good. You just keep signing random JAGs and eventually at least one of them will end up being decent.

It's fine but these guys they are signing are mostly Jags. It would've been nicer if they had been able to get a standout like Thuney or Conklin. They still have glaring needs at CB Tackle WR and Edge.

I have no problem with this strategy for the line and I still want to draft a OT with the first rounder.

Re-sign Sun Gawd now.

Only if one of the 4 OT's are there. They can't reach.

Yeah that should be obvious. The tackle class drops off significantly after the top 4. In that case grab Jeudy or Lamb and I haven’t really looks at edge rusher but maybe one of them.

Also Van Roten apparently grew up a Jets fan so that’s cool.

Obviously Thuney getting tagged screwed them to some extent. I'm under no illusion that these guys are good or great starters (outside of maybe McGovern) but (1) they're better than what they were rolling out there last year; (2) throwing lots of darts on decent offensive linemen is a good strategy in and of itself, see, e.g., the Bills last year; and (3) loading up on decent interior linemen will give Douglas more flexibility to fill holes in the draft rather than reach for interior players with his day 2 picks.

And again, Rome wasn't built in a day. They weren't going to build a top-tier line from scratch in one offseason. Assuming they get one of the top 4 OTs at 11, I'd say this is a solid enough start.

Edit: I now like Fant and McGovern solely for clowning on PFF on twitter

Cleveland to Indy, had good year at Indy... had a 3 year moderately sized extension and he was so bad he was cut the very next year.

He’s got serious ability when he plays with his head right so maybe he can improve?

I watched some vids of him on Hopkins in the 2018 Wild Card after I posted, obviously has really promising talent like you aid. I guess you assume if Gregg can't get him motivated no one can and hope it pans out? Would like another vet CB and/or a day 2 pick at the position for insurance, but seems like a solid move.

Diva Cupcake

It’s a risk in that he could get significant playing time and play at his 2019 level. The contract is a dirt cheap 1 year deal though so if he sucks he gets benched and cut without any harm.

He balled out in 2018 though so the talent is there.

The market must be really dry. Jenkins isn't anything great but he should've gotten a deal somewhere.

Big brain strategy I just came up with: Trade up for Burrow without fear of his 2020 supporting cast. There probably won’t be an NFL season this year anyways.

I for one strongly feel if the 2020 season doesn't happen the draft order for 2021should be unchanged.

It makes SO MUCH loving sense for the Jets to try to get Trent Williams now to free them up to take JJ or Lamb at 11.

Yeah, they're officially gonna waste Darnold's rookie deal, even with the line improvements. Allen gets Diggs, Murray gets Hopkins, Baker gets OBJ/Landry, Darnold gets Demaryius Thomas.

If anything, losing Robby probably means that they need to (1) trade for Trent and (2) draft a WR at 11 and 48/68. But I can't see Douglas doing that.

If Robby's slow market gets him re-signed for $10-11m per then that's a huge win imo. Supposedly the Jets are in on Dorsett as a backup plan, but obviously we'd all prefer the Sun God come back.

I knew there was an old post with those numbers. Which seemed right to me, as a non-jets fan. So, they let him go for under that...wonder how much is guaranteed.

We Jets fans definitely overrate Robby, but he had great chemistry with Darnold and was his only weapon on the outside. Even in a deep class, it would be dumb by the Jets to try to replace that with a Day 2 pick at WR, especially in the most critical year of Darnold's career.

We're talking about 52 receptions, 779 yards and 5 TD's.

You don't have to draft some kind of killer to replace that production.

That's basically assuming the Jets will land this year's Terry McLaurin, DK Metcalf, or Deebo Samuel, ie that they will pick the best of the day 2 WRs in a year where everyone is looking for a day 2 WR. That seems like a pretty big leap of faith to me, even in a deep class.

They'd more likely than not get it with Lamb or Jeudy, yeah.

But still, most first-round WRs fall pretty far short of that line even if they later end up being pretty good. For every Calvin Ridley, there's at least two guys like Corey Davis, N'Keal Harry, or John Ross.
