Great talent, exactly what we need on offense, but will have to see how he carries himself with this team. Right now it's a B, but will easily be an A if he comes in and lights it up in this offense while being a quality locker room presence.
These two deals aren't even close in compensation. We swapped firsts and gave up a 1st the following year for Watkins and a 4th, who was unproven in the NFL at the time. Diggs is proven, we gave up far less in draft capital, and there is no NFL learning curve to go through.
The author also fails to take into account what a blithering idiot Bill O'Brien is. You can't logically compare the trade of Hopkins to any other because it absolutely defied all logic whatsoever.
Where on God's green earth would Jerry be able to pull $$$ out of to sign Clowney? There is no way this is possible with the salary cap. Joe must be in Franchise Mode with the cap turned off.
This has been discussed, it's more like the 18th pick. Show anyone who has ever dropped from 8 to 22 by just gaining a 4th, 5th, and 6th. It's never happened.
Gase is going to continue to waste the years of Darnold as long as he is the HC, potentially ruining him along the way. As evidenced by FA thus far the Jets are a hard sell to anyone with that idiot at the helm. I hope the tire fire in NJ continues.
