Impossible and idiotic. He’s still a top 5 WR. Josh and Diggs are the only reason we’re better than a .500 team. Anybody else on the roster besides those 2 is expendable. If Diggs wants to play with his brother in Dallas, then they can give us Parsons for Diggs. Short of that, it would take one of their O-Lineman plus their 2023 1st rounder.

How does trading diggs help us get better? He’s our Kelce.

Edmunds and Poyer are the only guys who aren’t JAG’s. The punter, Keenum and Lawson are the only guys I’d keep over a vet minimum guy or rookie. Phillips is an out of shape injury prone guy you can’t depend on.

OBJ in free agency. Trade up for Skoronski in 1st round.

I’d actually be for this if the price is right. OBJ can play and 18+ months removed from an ACL, he’ll still be a dynamic weapon with great hands. Then McBeane can focus on the OLine early in the draft.

This coaching staff has gotta be extremely difficult to draft for. The defense prefers non-aggressive players in the back 7 and quantity over quality is preferred on the D-Line. On offense, we couldn’t find a place for an All-Pro Guard because his strength was run-blocking. And at RB, the guys who get on the field do so because of their pass blocking. There’s no physicality on any side of the ball except for our franchise QB. The teams who consistently draft well known what they’re looking for and have a certain type. Can really only say that about a McDermott team when it comes to the secondary. They know what they want there and can generally get it in the later rounds.

The 2018 draft was elite. And yes, guys who go on to do well for another team count. It’s not the drafters fault if the coaching staff can’t figure out how to use good players. Same with losing guys in free agency. You can’t re-sign everybody.

Evans had a lot of drops last year. He might be motivated to have a redemption year, but I think I’d rather roll the dice on OBJ 18 months removed from ACL surgery and keep Davis.

McBeane don’t play the comp pick game. Every year we sign a big helping of veteran JAG’s instead of playing draft picks and we never have a net loss in free agency.

I wonder what the Bills offered him. And if his market is that strong, I wonder if we can now tag him and get something in return

What about moving Benford to the slot to get bigger and cheaper there and trading Taron? Clearly the Bengals saw a weakness that we are too small in our base nickel and pounded us with their big skill position players like Mixon and Hearst.

No way I’d trade any of them, especially with Hyde and Tre’s injury/recovery situations, and Poyer’s free agency status.

I hear ya. One things for sure, McBeane will finally have to start making difficult roster decisions on the defensive side. Extending every good/decent player on that side of the ball isn’t gonna get you to a Super Bowl. My 1 caveat would be to not just keep who you already locked up and let edmunds/poyer walk if you think those 2 guys are more valuable than guys like Taron, Oliver, Settle, Tre, Hyde.

Not sure. You can’t have 9 or 10 core players on the defensive side of the ball, but Poyer is probably in the 3-4 inner core for me so it’s a hard decision. 1. Milano 2. Poyer 3. Hyde 4. Edmunds? White would be in there pre-ACL. Obviously Miller given his contract. Taron has a big contract for a slot CB. Oliver has $10m guaranteed. Dequan Jones? The defense has become a bloated mess.

This is what happens when you never make any hard decisions and constantly bring everybody back on the defensive side of the ball. Plus rookies and young players never get developed. Are Poyer and Edmunds the right guys to draw the line on? I think I’d rather bring those 2 back than keep Oliver, Tre White, or Taron Johnson. Settle too.

Not as cringe as this thread. How is this still going? Time to move this to a different forum.

Jets gonna run back what the Colts have done the last 5 years.

I keep hearing the argument that “it had been allowed all game”. Is there any actual evidence of that? And the grab might not have effected the WR that much but it definitely allowed Bradberry to be stickier in his coverage. I didn’t love the call but if your complaint is ‘yeah, it’s a penalty but they could’ve called it the entire game’ then show everybody where else in the game a DB grabbed a guy’s jersey and it wasn’t called.

The officiating was terrible back then. Testaverde scored a TD for the Jets that was a yard and a half short that resulted in teams not making the playoffs. Now people cry conspiracy when a flag is thrown and the player admits he committed the penalty. NFL officiating problem now is how do you create consistency among the entire crew doing a game when 7 guys can throw a flag, but otherwise NFL officiating is 1000% better than it used to be.

Philosophically, you gotta try to peak at the end of the year. Develop your young guys early in the year even if it means losing an extra game or 2. Personnel-wise 1000% O-Line.

nice throw Hurts.

Clark is killing the Chiefs

Mahomes had a lot of time against that philly pass rush.

It’s hard not to like Diggs, but his thirst for attention is disturbing. Please get Josh another high end WR this off-season for a lot of reasons not the least of which is so Josh and the team don’t become hostage to this guy’s emotional outbursts.

Houston isn’t getting anybody as good as Oliver for 1 year $10m in free agency. They’ll have to over-pay over multiple years to get anybody decent. He has value to a rebuilding team like Houston with picks and cap space. He’s still young and would be their best D Lineman.
