Could trade back a few spots in rd 1 and still take a T (my son likes Fautanu from Wash, very versatile, can play anywhere on the line), then pick up a 2nd rounder. The APP has them taking the T Fashanu from Penn St, but if Fautanu is not a real drop off, picking up the extra pick is a interesting idea
Can't trade back unless there's somebody available at 10 whom somebody is willing to trade up for. Which there probably won't be.
No, but I wish they traded with the Raiders and got more back than a pair of 5th rounders
Totally different game back then. That yds per reception was from to catching long bombs, not YAC after catching short passes in an offense that is spread out.I was looking at 1980 draft and saw Jets took Johnny "Lam" Jones at #2.
I knew he was kind of a bust but figured he must have had some killer stats at Texas
Then I saw this:
Who looks at those stats and makes the player #2 in draft?
I know he has track speed but he couldn't catch
Jets wanted Munoz but doctor told Jets his knee wasn't good
The college game was completely different back then. Offenses spread the defense by option based runnng attacks. Darrel Royal invented the “wishbone” offense at Texas back in the 1960s. By the late 70s, Texas was running a hybrid wishbone offense, with Johnny “Lam” Jones at RB/WR and Johnny “Ham” Jones at RB/WR. Lam Jones had blazing straight line speed, I believe he clocked a 9.2 second 100 yd dash. One small problem- he couldn’t catch very well, especially when he wasn’t 10 yds behind the coverage.I was looking at 1980 draft and saw Jets took Johnny "Lam" Jones at #2.

He had olympic speed, was a big home run threat, and that was the allure. He had a lot of those TD's in college, the problem was 1) that was college and he couldn't just blow by guys in the Pros for a 5 yard cushion, and 2) was soft, the one-on-one home run pass was all he wanted to catch, and even there didn't want to fight for the ball. And forget about going over the middle where there might be contact or getting hit - had a rampant case of "Alligator Arms"I was looking at 1980 draft and saw Jets took Johnny "Lam" Jones at #2.

Key word is PROPOSAL. This story is from a week ago. It didn't happen.
