Stay safe!
I am not a big fan of Fields. At least not enough to exchange Darnold for him with the #2 overall draft pick.
Barring a miracle where the Jets leapfrog the Jags again, the Jets need to hope someone absolutely loves Fields, so they can move down and stockpile draft picks, or just keep it simple and take Penei Sewell.
Sewell is a beast and would look great in a tandem with Becton. Add Sewell at LT, move Becton to RT and build a dominant offensive line.
Especially since I have my doubts that Becton can stay healthy or that his body type will age well. You can't have your LT getting nicked up and missing important games.
I am a Giants fan, so that is just my impartial take on what I would do. Ideally trade down but, if not, take the best LT prospect in recent memory, giving you the option to build a dominant oline or maybe trade one for a haul like the Dolphins got for Tunsil later on.
I completely agree about Fields and trading down.
Sewell is an outstanding prospect, but it's a pretty good OT class in general and I'd keep Becton at LT for now. The Jets could get a pretty good RT with their other 1st and build a strong O-Line that way. Investing consecutive top-5 picks on OT's is a bit overkill IMO. I think Cincy takes Sewell at #3 anyway so he won't be available if the Jets trade down.
It's too bad there is no elite pass rusher this year. Maybe grab Micah Parsons as a studly chess piece LB or put him on the edge. Or grab a top CB like Surtain or Farley. The Jets need to beef up the defense badly, the offense has promise already.
Douglas has a ton of cap space so he can fill needs that way too.
Not getting Lawrence though is such a shitburger though, damn.
