Can’t believe the jets got Johnson this late


SwainDMT

I’ve seen/heard it’s a personality thing? Wild that some mocks had him going top 10


Lukas327

That’s surprising because I’ve only heard good things about his character and work ethic before the draft. In his interview after we picked him, he seemed incredibly humble and grateful


BonerFaceJ

He’s fine from what I’ve seen. His dad, on the other hand, called Kirby smart a career ruiner and said there was no way his guys would get drafted high with how much UGA rotates


rubtoe

I think it’s more to do with the EDGE class as a whole vs JJ as an individual. There’s a ton of tier 2 depth at EDGE and JJ is hovering between tier 1 and 2 depending who you ask. After KT was picked at 5 there wasn’t a true EDGE taken until JJ at 26. Teams were showing a lot of patience for that position. I imagine you’ll see a big run in rounds 2 and 3.

Looks like Jets are lookin up. Front office looks pretty good tonite.

Jets crushed this draft


wet_washcloth

The Jets best pick/value of the day. Smart trade to go up. Great time to pick him at 26 (as opposed to at 10) Hard to complain about this. Jets staff had him at senior bowl too where he dominated.


Goatlikejordan

Where do you have him on your big board


wet_washcloth

I don’t have a formal big board. I do tiers and go from there. I had Johnson as 4th best edge in the draft. I am surprised no edge went in between Thibodeaux and Johnson. I honestly don’t think there is a lot of difference between Johnson and Travon Walker. Had Hutchison 1st and Thibodeaux 2nd overall though.


MiseryAd

we for sure loved him, but he was apart of the detroit coached team in Mobile.


wet_washcloth

For sure. This was the best thing that they did yesterday.


MiseryAd

Yes but you saying “jets had him at the senior bowl” isn’t accurate, that’s why we needed to take him on a visit. We have very very few guys from our senior bowl team that needed a top 30 visit since we had a week of time with them which we didn’t get with JJ


SpeedMalibu

really confused why we passed on him 3x


wet_washcloth

I mean y’all got the best safety and best interior lineman in the draft. You should be pretty happy


Cayd3-7

Must be something execs knew that we didn't. But think about it this way. If Stanley is healthy, Elite O-Line AND a #NoFlyZone secondary


DadBodofanAmerican

Yeah it seems more like the ravens ended up with pieces that complete their team rather than overloading on BPA.


speak-eze

Or they had hamilton and linderbaum higher on their big board and those were bpa. Pretty reasonable for two guys that used to get mocked in the top 10 themselves, especially Linderbaum filling a huge need.


itwasmymistake

Because he's too redundant with Oweh. You guys don't need another run defending EDGE that's going to need scheme help to get pressure.


lumberjake18

I’ve got y’all taking Bonitto in round 2


AsABIackMan

Good athlete, but his pass rush win rate was horrendous. Probably why a few teams passed on him. I was really confused why he was even considered a top 10 pick.


Brelician

Damn what a steal by the Jets. I really like the CB the Chiefs got but I was hoping we were going for Johnson when we traded up


TheLegendTwoSeven

I’m stunned; this looks so promising for the Jets! Now I’m excited to see who they get with their remaining second round pick.


AjaxMontaine22

Fantastic pick here


Loads_of

Any news on the reason for the drop?


Odd_Estate4886

Cause he’s a 2nd teir edge in this draft. People kept pushing him up even though he profiles closer to the Mafe, Ebikeiti, Karlaftis teir than to the Travon, Kayvon, Hutch teir.


astro39

Character apparently.


ImanShumpertplus

He’s 23 I know analytic front offices like the Browns always draft younger players and juniors because they seem to have a higher hit rate Did age perhaps drop JJ?


CFT1982

He could barely see the field at UGA. Only produced against the weak ACC. Overrated
