The TRUTH About Brock Bowers to The Jets?!

[@TheBuffaloJetFan]

The comments have been surprisingly... logical lol. Good points on both sides. Thanks for tuning in!

[@BillySBC]

There are 257 picks in the NFL Draft and the Jet have #10... that's DRAFT GOLD, that's "Starting Quarterback Territory" not Tight End territory. If the Jets took one of the top two or three Wide Receivers I guess that would be debatable, but a TE? I don't see it.

[@andrewjacobson3758]

Great video! Need more vids like this! I would rather go OT for the salary reasons/ depth issues with injury concern but this kid can ball. Wonder if the reason TE’s look so good out of college is because they can expose matchups with bad coverage LB’s as opposed to just CB’s like receivers do. Regardless, good work Buffalo 🫡

[@jeffreyventrone-hl8xk]

Excellent breakdown on this kid. Nice job BJF.

[@BillySBC]

Gronkowski was drafted in the 2nd Round. Kelce was drafted in the 3rd Round. Kittle was selected in the 5th Round. LaPorta was selected in the 2nd Round. Taking Bowers at #10 overall in the 1st Round is an incredible reach historically speaking.

[@TheBuffaloJetFan]

I don't really care about that. If you think hes Gronk, you don't hope he's there at 72. You take him

[@BillySBC]

@@TheBuffaloJetFan Well I think you really want a Kelce or a Gronk or a Tony Gonzalez, and that is clouding your view of just how high a pick we're talking about here. A Top 10 pick in the draft is "Starting Quarterback Territory" and we're gonna go TE way up there? It would be a historical reach, it's hardly ever been done, and I don't see the Jets doing it really.

[@hawk1093]

I sat, I listened... I considered everything you've said... Brock Bowers is not worth a top 10 pick to the NY Jets. Not this year, not with this team, not with this OC. I would rather have Garrett in the slot and Mike WIlliams and Odunze or Brain Thomas JR on the outside if we're going to go weapon... but we shouldnt go weapon, if we have to pick at 10 and cant trade back, pick 10 should be the best tackle available even though its not the flashy sexy move. If we trade back, tackle should STILL be the first pick and take a day 2 WR. There is no scenario where the Jets should take Bowers at 10 and then be waiting to pick 72 for Oline. Can't do it. Run through some mocks and see what happens, it decimates the draft every time. NO NO NO NO NO! Team needs: OT, G, WR, S TE isnt on the list and it surely shouldnt be spending our best pick on one in the best tackle class in 5 years.

[@wintersresurrection9841]

OL or bust, couldn't agree more. Now, if Bowers can play OT, sure let's do it...

[@BillySBC]

I agree, we have to consider our recent history with our offensive line, and we already have two very good TE's. Combined with the fact that the LT we signed has a significant injury history. I like Warren, but I don't only want to have Warren if something goes wrong with Smith.

[@HarrisonHollers]

You don’t draft based on need at 10.

[@BillySBC]

@@HarrisonHollers Just sit and think about what you just said.

[@HarrisonHollers]

@@BillySBC what did I just say?

[@JamesMolinaro-yr8fu]

The fact that people consider him a “Te” is crazy he basically a wr in the te spot and could line him up in the slot as well

[@Murf1802]

Great video Buffalo, thank you, I knew zero solid info about Bowers before I watched your content, after watching , ill shut my mouth and be very happy if this is the way the jets land at 10, if this is a possibility at # 10 for the jets , it has be covered and talked about, and you've been slamming so many videos out my head is spinning lol, I love Lathem, but I'm reading that he would be a super star guard one day, now would that make sense for the jets right now ,, idk, so if they can't grab a plug and play Tackle , this dudes in the mix , no doubt. I love the knowledge Buffalo, really good stuff! till next time, be well.

[@GlydeJ11]

Great content UE !! Still not sold but if we take him at 10 I won’t scream “WTF!!” Im a WR,Tackle guy myself but I trust JD to absolutely crush the Pick🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ryanshea3008]

Great stream! Love the content brother. I’m all in on bowers or a wr. Wouldn’t be mad at a tackle but I just think we are more likely to get baktiari to be our swing tackle as opposed to Tyler boyd to be our slot depending which direction we go in the draft

[@billyd78]

Even if Bowers is a "Dude", it's not just about him. It's also about who you passed on and what hole you potentially have on the roster post draft because of it.

[@jeremybrocknblue5593]

I want Bowers as long as we can still get Conklin and Ruckert in the games……they’re good they just need a decent ball thrown to them

[@sifu9863]

Listen man idc who it is just as long as it is an offensive player that is ready to make an impact from week 1, is going to be good and contribute to the team.

[@AllstarProperties]

I'm all about getting a TD machine with our 1st round pick.....and, getting veteran insurance as the swing tackle as opposed to that insurance being a rookie. Easier said than done regarding veteran insurance at T. I say all this because of our specific situation....which is WIN NOW! Otherwise, I believe we would be in a trade down situation to get another or two top 100 picks. The thing about Brock Bowers that kinda scares me is he is unique and doesn't fit in just any scheme...he would need to be used uniquely. That takes unique coaching. We all know better than to have confidence in our coaching staff to use a unique weapon correctly. If we find a way to acquire one of those top 3 WR's that works too. If you recall, A Rodgers is on record saying he never had 1st round WR's to work with during his time in GB.... Our #1 pick is gonna be Bowers or a WR because of our situation. The prudent thing would be an O-lineman or trade down, but we're living in the moment with this squad. It's about right now.

[@josephipattersonh6933]

Fact! When you are a great player/a problem, for the other team --- they scheme for you. Outside of some of the offensive weapons ahead of him….if they don’t pick Bowers it’s the same old jets and the same old jets fans!

[@kgordon8834]

I'm all aboard with Bowers. He's a weapon in the middle that Rodgers will pick defenses apart with. He's a mismatch for most linebackers with his speed and too big for nickel corners to bring down. He basically makes defenses have to run a 3 safety set, and I like guys who can dictate a defense. Besides, Rodgers needs another weapon. Williams is coming off an ACL and everybody is just assuming he has Breece Hall/Adrian Peterson healing power, but the average athlete usually needs a year before feeling like themselves again. We don't know how explosive he is going to be off the line this year or if he's even going to resemble what we saw with the Chargers. I know I'm in the minority, but unless it's Alt, I don't want to spend my #10 on a guy who's riding the bench when the team is at full strength. I'm ok with Bak on a 1 yr deal playing the backup swing tackle role.

[@deeo2417]

I’ll sleep so much better if we just take the best offensive linemen. Taking a small tight end who isn’t the greatest blocker seems reckless to me

[@seeingghosts]

Does Hackett scare anyone with his capacity to use a Brock Bowers creatively?🤔

[@kgordon8834]

It's about how Rodgers would use him. Hackett just gives suggestions, Rodgers makes the adjustments at the line and basically calls his own game.

[@havnt3782]

Small window, go all in, backup OL backup QB probably best long term selections. We have to think short term. We need BWA best weapon available. BB most likely to be available in the weapon category. Nabers probably best scheme fit but he wont be around at 10.

[@NYJetsSitRep]

This was incredibly logical, once you watch till the end.

[@Roneck888]

I like a trade up for Rome Odunze....then latter round..Spencer Rattler. If we walk away from this draft with those 2 and maybe a couple of OL depth pieces I would be very happy.

[@charlesm7646]

I like him but not enough to pass on a tackle for him. If they don’t like any of the tackles left, then go ahead and pick him. He’s going to have to change his game a little bit to the nfl. I agree with you in that he’s not going to run over guys like he did in the SEC. He does pop off the screen when you look at his film though…

[@serendipitousslim1529]

I’m excited no matter who we get, so long as its one of Bowers, BPA at OT, or Odunze. My PREFERENCE is to trade back, grab an OT and WR in the 2nd, but we can’t control whether or not some GM wants to trade up to 10. If we can’t trade back, perhaps we can use our two fourth round picks and/or our third to trade back up into the second. If we do stick and pick and go the skill route though, I think I prefer Bowers to Odunze. Odunze is a freak athlete with an exciting highlight reel, I get it, but his route tree is limited, his route running is sloppy, he doesn’t get consistent separation, doesn’t get consistent YAC, and for a dude his size he can get bullied off his path within the first five yds too often. His contested catch ability is INSANE, but from what I’ve seen, contested catch WRs always seem the most likely to bust at the next level. I would argue Bowers has shown to be a better WR than Odunze in every aspect of his game besides the contested catch.

[@stevesalvatore7091]

with 2 injury prone tackles we NEED a TE that can block somewhat, and bowers just cant. Gimme a OT please Conklin and Ruckert will be fine..

[@maristoldboys5466]

WR's and TE's have markedly different utilities. It's not analytically sound to use raw yardage to compare the 2 and discount TEs because TEs/Bowers especially in 12 personnel allow the qb to dictate terms to the defence because pass/run are both viable, in ways that WRs can't. He even allows 11 personnel because he's deadly from the slot. In the playoffs you need to own the middle of the field as well as open up the deep shots (play-action). He'll also be able to see the field straight away whereas OL pick or even Odunze wouldn't start over what we already have. In a win now season we need results straight away on the field not on the shelf saved for later. Jets can get depth in the mid rounds, sign Bakhtiari. He raises both the floor and the ceiling of the O in ways that other prospects can't. He is a unicorn. #UptownBaby #JetsFanFromFiji

[@w.l.graves7228]

hey BJF , i would rather jets fill an immediate glaring need , not tight end , and have not been on the bowers train @10, his blocking is not great , but i will say this ,neither 49ers kittle ,nor kc's kelsey's run blocking ability was great in their first years, they both got better at it, and have not heard a word about their blocking problems the past few years. bowers is about same size also , so the question would be ,, is bowers such a huge difference over our current tight ends , that he would change the outcomes of games if he were in the game, and we'd be eternally regretful if we didn't draft him with our first pick @ 10.

[@shawnbennet432]

Well...my feeling that most likely he'll still be available at #10, and Indy most likely pass on him at #13...so JD does want a prospect with a high ceiling...he'll have to pick him. But if...Rome Odunze or Nabers falls to #10 I'd draft them instead.

[@lightxgrenade]

I wouldn't mind Brock Bowers, I think he's going to be a very good player. But what I think to myself is - Odunze > Bowers, Brian Thomas Jr. & 2nd round OT > Bowers, Troy Fautanu & 2nd round WR > Bowers. If Odunze is gone, and we can't get good value to trade down then sure, go for Bowers. In 2023 seven TEs in the league had 800+ yards, one had 9+ TDs. Look at receivers - 27 of them had 1k+ yards, six of them had 9+ TDs. I just think the value of a top WR or the combo of an OT + WR outweighs the value of even an elite tight end more often than not.

[@jdunlap850]

Still need a partner to pull off those trades. Not sure we get a 2nd round pick with a trade down. If we were offered a 2nd and stay in top 16 to 18, I’d do it.

[@lightxgrenade]

@@jdunlap850 Well that's why I was saying if Odunze was gone and we couldn't get good value to trade down, then go for Bowers. A pick doesn't have to be a "1 pick for 2 picks". If we're trading down in the teens, It could be something like a team trades up, gives up a 2nd, but also swaps picks with us in the 3rd or 4th to make it a little less lopsided.

[@maristoldboys5466]

[@lightxgrenade]

@@maristoldboys5466 I see your point but I'd argue that Odunze would see the field immediately as Garrett Wilson can play all 3 receiver positions and last year Mike Williams was used in the slot with great success - albeit with a small sample size . All 3 of Wilson, Williams, and Odunze showed they can win in the middle as well with the caveat being that Odunze is much better lining up on the outside but has no issue working deep and intermediate routes that go towards the middle. Hackett eventually adjusted the variety of offensive looks to cater to Zach Wilson who seems to be much more comfortable with 12 personnel than he is with 11 but before that, we were running 11 personnel to a high degree with 3 receivers because that's the offense we had for Rodgers. The OL and Odunze preference is because 1. Tyron Smith will inevitably miss games 2. Both tackles are on a one year deal 3. Mike Williams is still recovering from an ACL and even if he's ready to go by game 1, he won't be 100% and 4. Williams is on a 1 year deal as well. We can call it an "all-in" year but grabbing Odunze or a tackle is valuable for both this year and next year. I like Bowers but to me that seems short-sighted when next year you'll again be looking to replace both starting tackles and a wide receiver in a season where our cap situation will be much worse and we have to start negotiating with Sauce, Garrett, Jermaine and possibly Breece regarding extensions to their contracts.

[@Axt3r]

Regarding the volume of passes he catches behind the los, you could also argue that in his favor. I mean how many TEs can you throw to like that and still have them put up offense like Bowers did?

[@nicholaslanzo2998]

Now you are making sense…keep watching his film dude…he is that guy. Watched a lot of UGA football over the past 10 years…there are no good comps for him.

[@HarrisonHollers]

Well since the Jets have been so exceptional drafting in the 1st Round, let’s skip the guy considered one of the greatest prospects entering the league. YOU DO NOT DRAFT BASED ON NEED AT 10! But we can trade down….not if another team doesn’t want to move up! Get A-Aron the Playmaker Green Bay never got him. Draft Bowers or one of the Top 3 WRs. Sign Bakhtiari as OL depth. Let’s Go Win!

[@richr7215]

My only thing is I don't want us to fall for the hype that's exactly what happened with the Zach Wilson situation and no I'm not saying he's Zach Wilson it's different positions but you got to be really careful I'd rather be safe to take a tackle or a wide receiver

[@peterlafontaine502]

MHJ, Nabers, Alt, Odunze and maybe Fashanu are the guys I'd rather the Jets take over Bowers. Not sure, maybe BB over Fashanu.

[@intienergia1]

With the injury issues of the OL, the Jets desperately need a swing tackle. Bowers is interesting but you take him only if you can get that player some other way, either later in the draft, free agency including late cuts, or trades. Much of the NFL is seeking left tackle help so it is risky to hope to resolve it later. You really can't say the same thing about tight ends. So I go offensive line.

[@kgordon8834]

But you're not going to get a talent like Bowers later in the draft, free agency, late cuts or trades neither.

[@robertpapalia]

Sorry Buffalo I don`t agree with you on this one. The Jets 2 offensive tackles are fine if they don`t get hurt. But they are both 33 years old. Behind them are Max Mitchell and Carter Warren. Are you confident if Smith and Moses go down that these guys will take their place and do a credible job? I am not . They need to come away with at least 3 offensive linemen in this draft. Anything less is nothing short of football malpractice 101.
