Noticed a few questions on Becton here and I'm a lot where JP is. I really like his play when he's out there. I think he's played quite well in the matchups I've watched this year of the Jets. It's all about health for him and that's why I think he ends up getting a medium-level deal this first time into FA. I think he could be a potential steal if the injury woes are behind him. That said, he could just as easily be a colossal kick to the junk if they aren't. He's the type I'd roll the dice on if he makes it through this season without a knick.

kccrow · 11-02-2023, 07:50 PM

Also on Jordan Elliott... He's not a world-beater and I fully get that but I think he makes sense to add to a rotation. He's at his best when he's in a solid rotation and in a 1-gap scheme. He's much better than Wharton, that's for certain. I'm not really looking at him as a starting NT or anything like that, but he's got good rotational value at either spot. If the price is right, which I don't think is much more than the vet minimum with a modest bonus, then I think he's the type Veach will look for. And who knows, the Saints gave bowling-ball Saunders a 3/12 contract so Elliott might command near as much. We'll have to see how that shakes out.

I'm right there with you on Franklin in the 1st crow!

Rice and Franklin would be a really nice duo.

To be honest, at that price it kinda makes sense. I think my targets would be Billings and maybe Wormley if he looked OK after injury. But to be fair they're probably just a little too pricey. My Maurice Hurst fantasy is probably just that. He's rotational but he's playing himself into a decent contract if he keeps this form up and stays healthy.

Also I think your Becton approach is right. If he makes it out of the season healthy, I'm feeling better about that deal.

RunKC · 11-04-2023, 08:45 AM

We are on the same page Crow. Ideally I'd like to get a functional WR that can play the outside that Mahomes can trust. You listed Mooney, but I like Calvin Ridley. Also think the kid from Indy could be a nice FA get.

Then I'd take a WR rd 1 like you did and then nab a corner like the Bengals have done in back-to-back years in Britt/Turner to replace Sneed.

Btw I really like Franklin. Love Odunze but that's probably a pipe dream

Dunerdr · 11-08-2023, 11:04 AM

Maybe I just missed the draft forum during the regular season but this is a killer mock.

JPH83 · 11-20-2023, 01:05 AM

Becton injured again it looks like. I'd love to fix LT n FA so we can focus on a WR in a good class...but I think we may need to fix both positions in the draft.

Just looks like a high ankle in all likelihood.

Sofa King · 11-20-2023, 07:40 AM

Becton is hurt ALLL the time. He'd be a terrible pickup, especially at that price.

O.city · 11-20-2023, 08:13 AM

I think at this point, I'd give Donovan Smith a nice little 3 year deal and not worry about the LT spot for a bit.

Hmm. Maybe fine, I dunno though the guy just is constantly dinged. Not saying these things don't work themselves out but I don't know if I like the multi-year risk

If Smith is there for 3 years I absolutely would worry about rhe LT position.

He's a good solid LT.

He's not elite. He's fine.

Fine is fine when it comes at a good price.

I think he's well below fine, but agree to disagree I guess. At least he's cheap.
