DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread: Day 1

[Deus Irae]

Jets get WR, CB, Pass Rusher in round 1

The spot you are drafted doesn’t necessarily make you a better player. Johnson was supposed to be a top 10 pick with top 10 talent. Now there may be something we don’t know about him that made him drop for a reason. But at least on paper, he would be a better player than they were originally targeting at 21.

I'm just confused on who's going to be available at 29 that wasn't available at 21?

The player doesn't get better. The value does. Potentially.

Who's running the Jets these days?? They have some players.

 

[Sfpat]

I count 21 people in the Jete draft room

 

[Rob0729]

Damn! The Jets are having a good draft at least on paper.

 

[Kontradiction]

Every single Jets fan in that crowd probably has hypertension. What a grotesque group of fat slobs.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

We could have Daxton Hill, Devin Lloyd or Nakobe Dean at 29

 

[Ring 6]

His post said a better player could be available at 29 which is impossible. Not all the players available at 21 will be available at 29.

The value could obviously be better there which I agree with.

Whose post?

 

[Deus Irae]

I wonder if the Bucs had Johnson targeted and just got jumped...

The guys you pick at 21 are rarely if ever immediate contributors. For any team. All the guys picked after 20 need development. Quay Walker, McDuffie, Elam, so will Jermaine Johnson

Najee Harris, Greg Rousseau, Tyson Campbell, Elijah Moore in 2021 all were day 1 contributors. Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk, Kenneth Murray, Cesar Ruiz, Patrick Queen, Clyde Edwards-Heliarire, Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman, DeAndre Swift all were day 1 contributors in 2020. Tytus Howard, Josh Jacobs, Marquise Brown, Montez Sweat, all day 1 contributors in 2019.

These are all guys taken anywhere from 21-31 in three consecutive drafts that contributed almost immediately.

You are confused. I said who they were targeting at 21. I am talking before the draft started. Not at the time they traded the pick.

 

[PatsFan2]

Wow!

 

[Love The Drake]

We could have Daxton Hill, Devin Lloyd or Nakobe Dean at 29

Thinking that a receiver or a trade down.

 

[*ChungFu*]

Vrable screwing with BB again.

 

[TheBeers]

I feel like the Pats know their guy is gonna be there at 29

 

[203Pat]

Who did you want? If he's there at 29, will you admit it was a great trade?

Honestly I wanted McDuffie or Jermaine Johnson. Both are now gone.

 

[Jlaff]

And the Jets ruin the careers of three players otherwise good enough to be picked in the 1st round.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Cow suits are back in style?
