If you want an impact player at 21, an impact pass rusher, it will most definitely be somewhat of a project. I'm totally good with this. I like watching players develop and am going to enjoy Paye's. He is a huge character guy. This is totally in line (all the bitching going on here) with how freaks root for this team during the draft. We waded thru how horrible it was to take a guard at 6 and then how we totally blew it by taking a small college undersized linebacker in the second. Always thinking we blew it until these dudes start to play. Almost all draft picks are crap shoots. I like this one.

Also, here's a concerning quote on him from someone who knows what he's talking about:

Said McFarland: “I’m just concerned: Can Kwity Paye do it right now? He’s a very raw guy.

“Do the Colts need him next year? If they do, they better coach him up pretty quick and get his primary move and secondary move ready to go.”
Sacks and TFL are great, but really are not the be all and end all of performing your role on any given play. If the DE forced the running back to run inside and Buckner stuffs him for a 2 yard loss, Buckner gets the credit, but it was ultimately the DE who created the stop. There is so much more to this great game than whomever makes the splash plays. You need all 11 guys to do their jobs on a consistent basis, and from what I have seen and read that is what Paye has done throughout his career. Plus Paye only played 3 and a half games last year.

Is he going to be great? Who knows, I certainly don't, but I am willing to bet he tries his absolute damnedest on every single snap he plays and is generally assignment sound.

Something I just thought of. Are we even able to use next year's 1st or 2nd rounder to trade up? Due to the dynamics of the Wentz trade I'm thinking not.

If we don't get a tackle tonight the odds of Nelson moving outside go up I would think.

Looking forward to Day 2. I'll be out having some beers watching this one. I'd like to see LT. Could Cosmi or Eichenberg fall to us?

Count me on board. We could have done worse IMHO and if he becomes another Mathis or Freeney or not, then so be it. It is always a crap shoot.

Jets go WR at No. 34: Mississippi’s Elijah Moore.

Nice pick for Jets
