I think he's questioning why a GM who appears to suck at drafting CBs continues to waste draft capital on them? How many picks has DG wasted on CBs and then had to fill the void with huge contracts?

If he's saying DG should stop drafting CBs in the top 3 rounds...hard to disagree.

DG drafted Bradburry in Carolina. He knows what to look for. But even DG said that Patrick wants something different in cbs and they are going out and getting guys to fit the scheme. Yea Baker and Beal busted but cbs bust all the time.

Robinson was great value  
allstarjim : 5/2/2021 11:28 pm : link
And good competition at nickel, which is an incredibly important position on defense. By no means can that position be considered solved.

The fourth rounder is a great bet, Elerson Smith. Enormous upside that already has traits you look for.

I'll never get twisted about Round 6 and Round 7 picks. That's where they are looking for special teams guys and projects. Most of them wash out anyway, so who cares. The really relevant picks were made in the first 4 rounds, and I think they did amazing there.

Huh????

SO he is paying money for scouts to help construct a board. And he has Judge there as well and who knows who else- but he should just ignore everyone else and completely ignore his board because he hasn't done well in the past?

So maybe the Jets should forever stop drafting a QB because Woody has made mistakes before? And any team that has missed picks on Tight Ends should have no right to draft Pitts?
As Eric Said

you need 4 CBs.

You want competition / depth at the slot corner spot (now you have it with Holmes and Robinson) and at the dime cornerback (Yiadom, Love and now Rodarius Williams).

You're catching on! Yes, if DG stopped drafting CBs and QBs, he might turn into a below average GM.

Yes, the Jets should cease being an NFL team and should play a college schedule.
Robinson is a  
Dankbeerman : 5/3/2021 5:39 am : link
big piece to the puzzle. He may overlap Holmes in the slot but he is more physical and can play the run better maybe bumping Holmes to the Dime CB.

Williams is a 6rh rd pick you take a flyer on because look at hi build. He is built the right way for a CB. watch the tape cause he looks taller and longer then his listed stats indicate. He is also physicall and all over the guys he covers in a good way.

These two are much more physical then the Yiadam Beal Holmes grouo. They want guys thay cover like CBs and tackle/play physical like safteys. We are loaded with guys like that know.

Theae traots will improve ST as I see R. Williams as a prototype gunner amd am sure Robinson can impaxt that area too.
You improve your team

when you improve the quality of your backups. When last year's starters become this year's backups, the team got better.

Improving your team by improving backups helps but is just one element of the process of improving a team.

It’s even better when last years starters are no longer with the team, And possibly out of football. Despite all the improvement last year, we still started too many guys who didn’t belong.

But when BPA doesn't line up with the position they think we should have drafted based on need, then the whining begins.
This has to be the most incoherent thread ever...
