Up until the start of the 2019 free agency period in March
White Marcus Maye Jerseys , I'll be running through a bunch of names the Jets could potentially bring in with their hoard of cap space. Let's get into it!Name: Jamison CrowderBirthday/Age: June 17th, 1993 (age 26 on September 1st)Height/Weight: 5'9, 177FA type: UnrestrictedCollege: Duke (drafted 105th overall by Washington in the fourth round of the 2015 Draft)Team(s): Redskins (2015-18)Position/usage: Slot receiver2018 stats: 9 games, 29 catches, 49 targets, 388 yards, 2 touchdowns. 59.2% catch rate, 13.4 yards per reception, 7.92 yards per targetPrevious salary: 2015 fourth round, 105th overall rookie contract. $2.0M cap hit in 2018Spotrac Market Value: $8.1M/year (would currently be 27th highest at wide receiver)Jets connections: Duke teammate of Thomas Hennessy, Redskins teammate of Spencer Long and Andre RobertsMeasurables (via mockdraftable.com): Pros:Will only be 26 at the start of 2019Fits the team need for a pure slot receiver133 catches for 1,636 yards and 10 touchdowns over 31 games from 2016-17 prior to injury-plagued 2018 seasonNot just a checkdown option. Worked a lot of intermediate and deeper routes in Washington and accumulated proficient yardage totals for a slot receiver. For his career, averaging over 11.8 yards per reception on a 67.2% catch rate. The only other wide receivers (minimum 300 targets) since 2015 who are averaging 11.8+ yards per catch on a 67%+ catch rate are Michael Thomas, Keenan Allen, Adam Thielen, Tyreek Hill, and Doug Baldwin. Hill and Baldwin are the only other sub-six foot players who have done itBouncing off of that, via Pro Football Focus, Crowder was a top-five receiver on hitch routes in 2017Was just a solid YAC producer over the previous two seasons, but took a huge leap in 2018. Ranked fourth among wide receivers in yards after catch per reception (7.6, one spot behind Quincy Enunwa) and ninth in average YAC above expectation (+1.0). Type of guy who looks to grind out every extra yard he can get at the end of a playPunt return experience
Marcus Maye Jerseys 2019 , 86 career returns for a 7.9 yard average. One return touchdownCons:Missed seven games with an ankle injury in 2018Fumble question marks. Over his first three seasons, his 12 total fumbles tied for the league lead among non-quarterbacks. Had five as a receiver and seven as a punt returner. On the positive side, he went without a fumble in 2018Only five touchdowns in 24 games over past two seasons after posting career-high seven in 2016Tends to be erratic with his production, with some very good stretches (typically in the middle of the season) and some cold ones (typically to start or finish a season)Outside of his remarkable yardage numbers, efficiency isn't very impressive. Poor first down rates of 34% in 2016, 38% in 2017, and 30% in 2018. Ranked 44th in DVOA in 2016, 57th in 2017 and 54th in 2018Crowder's current Spotrac market value would place him at 27th in average annual value at wide receiver. Is that a reasonable value? It's a question that will be fair to ask regarding almost every single player on the free agent market, especially at this position. Mediocre DVOA ranks coupled with below average first down rates are in the bullet point above. In addition, since entering the league, among wide receivers Crowder ranks 30th in receiving yards, 32nd in receptions, 40th in receiving first downs, and 49th in receiving touchdowns. Considering his age, which seemingly places him in his prime, it looks like a fair argument could possibly be made that 27th is a reasonable price for a 26-year old player on the inflated open market with those production ranks. Still, at the end of the day, a #27 salary for a player with ~35th-40th production is a gamble no matter how you slice it. What are your thoughts on the match between the Jets and Jamison Crowder? FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Mike Maccagnan resisted the urge to trade down or make his first pick based solely on need to kick off the New York Jets' draft weekend.He ended up with perhaps the best overall talent in this year's class, taking Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams at No. 3 on Thursday night.It's hard to criticize that selection — a no-brainer — by the Jets general manager, even if taking a punishing pass rusher would have filled one of the team's biggest needs."When you factor (need) into your evaluation process
White ArDarius Stewart Jerseys ," Maccagnan said, "you run the risk of potentially making a mistake."Maccagnan made it clear New York was open for business to trade on the draft's opening night but found no suitable offers — and instead bolstered his defensive line with Williams."I'm coming in to be a dominant player up front," Williams said, "and be a dominant player, in general."As it turned out, Maccagnan got his edge rusher Friday night, when he took a gamble on Florida's talented but polarizing Jachai Polite in the third round.Then came some wheeling and dealing.The Jets moved up one spot by trading with Minnesota to take USC offensive tackle Chuma Edoga with the 92nd overall pick. New York then traded down twice early Saturday before grabbing West Virginia tight end Trevon Wesco in the fourth round.Maccagnan wrapped up the Jets' draft haul by making some risky selections: Minnesota linebacker Blake Cashman in the fifth round, and Rutgers cornerback Blessuan Austin in the sixth. Both come with injury concerns — Coleman had three shoulder surgeries in college, and Austin tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee twice."Like everything else, you're never really done building the roster," Maccagnan said. "You're constantly doing that, but we felt at this point in time we made some good strides, and we have some good pieces in place."Here's one last look at the Jets' draft:WHO THEY GOTIt all starts with Williams, of course. For the third straight year, the player many considered the best in the draft "fell" to the Jets. It was safety Jamal Adams in 2017 and quarterback Sam Darnold last year. Both are cornerstones of the franchise, and Williams has a chance to quickly become one, too.Polite was initially thought to be a first-round talent, but his draft stock plummeted because of a hamstring injury that affected his NFL combine performance and pro day. Nagging character issues also added to the flaws, but the Jets could be getting a steal if Polite's mind and body are right as he begins his pro career.Edoga could eventually work his way to a starting role at right or left tackle, and he can play guard, too. Oh
ArDarius Stewart Jerseys 2019 , and he and Darnold were once teammates at USC, which certainly doesn't hurt.Wesco is a big blocking tight end who could quickly become a favorite of running back Le'Veon Bell if he can help blow open some holes up front.Cashman and Austin are developmental players who might make their marks early on special teams. Maccagnan said Austin could start camp on the physically unable to perform list, so it's uncertain how much impact he'll make this season.SURPRISE MOVETrading up to take Edoga had some fans scratching their heads, especially those hoping for a cornerback or center at that point in the draft.Those same fans were a bit baffled a round later when the Jets took a blocking tight end in Wesco.HOW THEY DIDThere will be plenty of excitement about New York's defensive front with Williams combining with Leonard Williams, Henry Anderson, Steve McLendon and Nathan Shepherd, the team's third-rounder last year, expected to put lots of pressure on quarterbacks up the middle.A motivated Polite could also eventually give the Jets a consistent pass-rushing presence from the outside that they have lacked since the days of John Abraham in the early 2000s.The other selections, perhaps other than Wesco, could take some time before becoming regular contributors.WHAT'S NEXT?New York still has quite a few holes, including at cornerback, where Trumaine Johnson is a certain starter on one side and Darryl Roberts appears to be the favorite on the other. Morris Claiborne remains a free agent and is rehabilitating an undisclosed injury, said Maccagnan, who also didn't rule out bringing the veteran back.Center remains a question mark, too, with Jonotthan Harrison the leading candidate to start. Jon Toth, who spent last season on the practice squad, is the only other player at the position on the roster, so the Jets could explore bringing in a veteran free agent.
