Post draft breakdown

[Monkeydad]

I had not realized it before, but the Jets drafted TWO guys named Michael Carter. One from North Carolina and one from Duke!

This guy can help in the run game immensely and catch an 8 yard pass in the flat. Truly a dual threat.

Prediction: he will play considerable snaps for a 4th round pick.

Yeah, hearing the Cooley breakdown and now Marcus Baugh released…. I think they really are confident he can be TE2.

Watching the clips he seems pretty damn athletic.

Yeah, I don't think Bates was a reach at all to the WFT staff.

Their read on it might be right. I keep hearing how hard it is to find TEs that are ready to be blockers in the NFL. It actually seems easier to find the pass catching / route running type.

Bates demonstrated he can block, and the team seems to believe he's a pretty good pass catching threat too. If he can do some of both successfully he'll have been worth the 4th rounder.

Nothing sucks worse than having a TE on the field who tips your hand as to whether you're putting him out in a route. Too easy for the defense to figure out what you're doing pre snap.

We'll see.

Losing Sprinkle and Baugh also bodes well for Sammis Reyes' chances of making the team.

After last years result with Logan Thomas I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt

[EdmundDorf]

Reyes was given a three year deal with gaurantees, he is going to make the team regardless

[Edit] having checked OTC, they aren't very big guarantees so maybe not quite a lock

He definitely will be with us at least 2 years, whether it's on practice squad or roster because it will take Reyes more than 1 year to develop as TE considering the fact that he has no football experience. We moved very quickly to sign him and even threw in the guarantees, I think that is a sign that WFT believes in Reyes's potentials.

If, and it is a big if, he has the same potential as Gates did, there's no reason he can't be on the roster come season start. Gates didn't explode until his 2nd season but he showed enough in limited action his first season to give everyone pause for thought.

Wonder if Reyes would be safe on PS given how many teams were chasing his signature, look at some of the TE rooms around the league

Likely not, there was a lot of interest in him. Ron pounced first.

[FrenchSkin]

Probably just a ST/depth move, but I HATE our 5th round pick tackling technique: Mark Bullock Darrick Forrest breakdown

[FrenchSkin]

7th round pick Bradley-King seems to have a lot of potential, displays good effort, good depth move

[FrenchSkin]

One of the good surprise with Dyami Brown is his run blocking abilities !
