If NE had selected the four guys that the Jets had picked thus far, would you be upset because they ranked high? It looks to me like a pretty good haul.
He had a fantastic rookie season.I'm sure I'm in the minority but I loved watching Bethel play.
He's a swing for the fences, But sky moore was still there to me he's like another troy brown ,and I'll take that all day
The team has had issues with compressed fields for awhile, so the speed sounds nice, but more than that I'd like a WR who can consistently compete with tight man coverage and I'm not sure Thornton can do that at the moment. His feet look a little slow, a little heavy, not particularly light on his feet, doesn't have that effortless smoothness you hope to see, and doesn't seem efficient getting off the LOS and making cuts/breaks. His feet look choppy and not in a good way.
This feels similar to previous WR picks, like Jackson/Johnson/Harry -- a guy with some unique skill/talent, but not a well-rounded/polished WR to my eye. That's why if they went with a WR I wanted it to be Metchie; he is insanely polished, has phenomenal feet, knows the position well, can line up anywhere, and has the footwork/technique/savvy to destroy man coverage.
Maybe others see him as a more polished and developed WR. I'll watch more and hopefully come around on the guy.
Meh ..
So was Bethal Johnson. We are witnessing the final death gasps of our previously great franchise sadly.Drink some high shelf tequila tonight...all bets are off!
The dew is fast AF tho...I will say that.
Forget that he's a 3rd day pick.
Yup...this has already been addressed. Yer preaching to the choir here.I would've liked it in the 4th round. It's like someone is whispering to BB, "Hey, if you don't select this 3th round guard in the 1st, he'll be gone!" "If you don't draft this 4th round WR in the 2nd, he'll be gone soon!" Even though three higher ranked WRs were taken just after the pick.
It isn't the players, it is when they are taken. At some point, the blinders need to come off.
This draft couldn't be more of a disasterYup...this has already been addressed. Yer preaching to the choir here.
This might be a reaction to all of the added AFC weaponry...it's definitely not par for the course, but, I love their NO FUX GIVIN mode here...it's an absolutely "swing for the fences" draft so far!This draft couldn't be more of a disaster
I can live with it. I'm not over the moon, but not a horrible pick. He's got world-class speed and he's 6'2" with pretty good hands. I don't think he's quite the reach Kiper, etc are making him out to be.
He knows that no one was touching Bethal Johnson 2.0 until the 6th round, except Bill of course.Hilarious dew!
Tell it to Babooshka...He knows that no one was touching Bethal Johnson 2.0 until the 6th round, except Bill of course.
It takes 2-3 years to know whether they bust. You can know they succeed much earlier.Agree on that. But were these picks made by the Jets, I imagine that Boston talk radio would be having a heck of a time. It will always take 2-3 years to know for sure.
it was obvious Harry was a bust halfway through his first TC.It takes 2-3 years to know whether they bust. You can know they succeed much earlier.
