As one of the teams currently holding not one, but two, top-10 picks in this week’s draft, the Jets are at the heart of the intrigue surrounding Day 1. They have also been aggressive in trying to add to their receiving corps, to no avail so far. The possibility could still exist, though, for them to acquire one of the big-name wideouts they have previously been linked to. 
According to Tony Pauline of Pro Football Network, Jets general manager Joe Douglas remains open to the thought of using the 10th overall pick to make a sizeable trade. It has already been reported that the team is “all-in” on acquiring Deebo Samuel and that their second Day 1 selection is on the table to do so.
As Pauline reports, however, the same is true with regards to D.K. Metcalf. “If Douglas could pry [Metcalf] from the Seattle Seahawks with the 10th pick”, Pauline writes, “he would make that move”. The Jets were named as one of the teams calling Seattle about the 24-year-old’s availability earlier this month. Similar to the 49ers when asked about Samuel, however, the Seahawks have maintained that they are not looking to trade him, prioritizing an extension instead.
New York already made a significant push – in terms of both draft capital to facilitate a trade, and financial commitment on a long-term deal – to try and land Tyreek Hill when it became known he would be on his way out of Kansas City. If they come up short on landing Samuel, they should still be well in range of most, if not all, of this year’s top receiving prospects. Included among those is Jameson Williams, whom the Jets have shown interest in; assuming he recovers from a torn ACL, he has the potential to provide a similar skillset to what Metcalf offers.
I think Jameson Williams is the most likely answer here. I don’t think they’ll land either Deebo or DK. Either way, they’d want to meet their yearly quota for Jamisons or homophones thereof.
Stop rehashing old – non news and let’s DRAFT!
I’m not giving up #10 + the new contract money. I’d be surprised if Joe does it
Guess the Jets aren’t ‘keeping it close to the vest’ about the desire for a competent WR1.
If we can’t extend DK for a reasonable amount given his performance. Maybe a trade is the only way. A year of control with no QB. Non team left trade. We would need 3+ years of control and still have enough for a complimentary piece on the other side. (Brown) or (Harrell) and enough capitol to draft Cunningham 1 overall (1-5)
Really the Seahawks have three years control. This year at $5M, $23M next year with the tag, and they could even use it a second time albeit $30M to do so
I don’t think our QB situation is dire personally.
Hahahaha. Hurts don’t it.
23 and 30. Looks like 58 3 year. 5yr/80 looks to be where I would like him to be.
Trade for AJ brown on a similar deal. But structured incentivized cuz he’s a dropper. Locket in slot. Draft RB talent. Run a falcons saints style offense and try to get draft lucky on defense like 2013. This is the way
If you want a receiver that badly just take Drake London at # 10. Or wait till the 2nd to take someone like Alec Pierce by trading back a few spots.
Or trade back into their 1st with GB or KC using your 2nd rounders to grab Burks / Watson.
Jets should definitely stay away from Metcalf, Samuel, etc especially with a draft deep at WR.
Why should they stay away from DK? You going to parrot he can only run straight routes can’t cut or make 2 moves? The only problem DK had was Russ would go to him in the beginning of the game or the end. This of course was not always true but happened a lot. Throw a td first play of game then didn’t look rest of game. Was frustrating.
They should stay away from DK cause last thing a team in the Jets position need is
1. Trade draft capitol for 1 player they have to sign to an expensive contract
2. Tie up your cap room into 1 player looking for top tier money when the current draft is considered deep at wide receiver.
Jets already went out and paid TEs. Bringing in a rookie wr makes more sense whether it’s the first or second round than giving up draft picks and paying 1 guy top tier money.
I agree but it is the Jets.
Might have misinterpreted your meaning. If you meant stay away because he will be wasted a min of 2 years I agree and sorry. If you meant not good enough then I would go opposite of any deal you would make.
5 years of jameson Williams on a rookie scale contract is worth more than Deebo or Metcalfe and the contract to sign them
Maybe. You can’t say that until he plays and produces in the NFL.
While you are correct, Metcalf has “produced” across from a really good WR in Lockett with a stud QB throwing him the ball. Who knows how much he would produce playing for the Jets with Wilson. The jets aren’t competing this season, safe move is draft Jameson Williams.
I would have to agree. Instead of giving up all that draft capital, just draft Williams. This has more to do with where the Jets are as a team than the player. DK doesn’t make Thelma contender alone. If this was Green Bay…different story.
Agreed
I think a deal will happen. You need a proven legit WR1 this season to see if Wilson is a legit franchise QB. If Wilson bombs this season you need to be ready to draft QB in 23 draft. Salary Cap will take care of itself. Need to know if Wilson is a franchise QB. What the whole season is about. Draft OT with 4th pick, trade for WR with 10th pick and use rest of draft capital on defense.
Makes some sense for Seattle. No Wilson. Could take Jermaine Johnson and Trevor Penning or Charles Cross back to back.
And then maybe Swap 2nds. Take Coral then George Pickens.
Seattle will not take a QB in the first 2 rounds. If someone slips to the 3rd maybe. Next years QB class is one of the best in over a decade and they have (2) 1st round pick and (2) 2nd round picks.
I mean they could very well take on in the 2nd they have two of them, and these QBs all have 2nd or 3rd round grades.
And we don’t know where Seattle has these guys ranked.
No, but none of the QB’s in this years draft would be a 1st round pick next year and after Willis and Pickett likely wouldn’t be seen until day 3. There will be at least 3 QB’s taken within the first 10 picks in 2023
Young
Stroud
Richardson
Levis
These are elite QB prospects and Hawks are in full rebuild mode. They can’t waste one of the 2nd round picks on a developmental QB. Oline, Dline, LB, and CB are huge needs. They are moving to a 3/4 and have one starting caliber LB on the roster. If a QB they like falls to them in the 5th round sure take a flyer but otherwise I say a hard no to taking a QB this year.
Good grief, can you imagine the Seahawks with the #9 AND #10 picks in the draft? Wowza.
technically the #10 pick was theirs so i can imagine it 🙂
Not enough. I’d want the 10 this years second and next years second. Would possibly take a 3rd for next year
So you want significantly more for Metcalf than the Packers got for Adams.
DK is 5 years younger than Adams. So yes, he would get more in return.
Not that much more, if any. Adams has been the best receiver in football.
I mean if you look at the typical draft pick valuation chart for the Adams trade, the 22 overall & 53 overall equal the 13 overall. So you’re suggesting DK is worth #10 and 2 additional 2nds? One of which is top 38 this year and the other probably won’t be far off from that next year. I don’t think so. I don’t see BOB making any GM decisions nowadays.
They are better off saving the money and keeping the picks. Draft OT with one of the first and WR with the other. They aren’t SB contenders, so no need to waste all that right now.
The Deebo Conundrum:
unless a team is going to continue using him as a “Wide Back”, his value is definitely not such a high 1st Rd pick … then again … the wear & tear of playing “Wide Back” is most likely (one of) the reasons he wants out of SF
can’t see a win/win except for Deebo himself being able to cash in on what he’s put his body through the past 2 seasons
I am sure the Jets would like to offer the #10 for DK. The reality is Metcalf is 4 to 5 years younger than Adams or Hill. It would take a minimum of #10 and (2) #2’s or (2) #1’s for Seattle to even consider trading their star WR.
Depending on contract demands I don’t think your trade value is off here. He is only 24, has stayed healthy and honestly if he is the undoubtably #1 option he IMO will put up monster numbers. With that being said, going from Russell Wilson to Zach Wilson at this point is a backwards move that could hurt his numbers. Or he could make Zach Wilson better. If I’m the jets, I don’t make the deal simply bc they are not ONE top WR away. Giving up that much draft capital plus a contract in this WR class etc isn’t smart. Again just my opinion.
Typical Jets. Trade for someone when you could probably draft a like player and save the $$$ and picks.
If he gets traded to the Jets his career is over. Who’s going to throw him the ball?? Jets have no QB. Receivers in this league are only as good as the QB’s throwing to them
Allen Robinson had very productive seasons on weak teams led by guys named Bortles and Trubisky so there are exceptions to your last statement.
Trade whatever you have to for Samuel and Garappolo and then flip Zach Wilson and whatever picks you have left for Metcalf. Jets are going to the playoffs with those trades.
Never happen except in Madden.
DK for the #4 (but only if Ickey is still available) and a #2 next year. Seahawks get the LT they need and more ammo for a big move up in next year’s draft to take a top QB (if they even need to move up!)
I was advising to extend DK on an Evan Longoria type rookie extension. But that never happened. Now here we are.
YA, & I would like to trade my 2004 truck, for a brand new F150 w. ecoboost… ;
U need 3 picks to even start to come close to DK’s value! ;
tired of stupid trade articles that aren’t even CLOSE to being accurate! ;
