Prospect Info: Who should the Jets draft - social isolation edition

[Whileee]

So, while we are all isolating socially and pining for the return of hockey, I've decided to engage a bit more in draft discussions. It would appear that the Jets are likely to draft in the #12-15 spot in the first round, so we can start to speculate about who they might select. Daximus and others always provide a lot of good insight, but I thought we could perhaps get more specific about our views about players who might be available in the Jets' 1st round spot. To make things a bit more specific, I've included a poll that has a list of players that have been rated around the #9-20 spot (based on Mckenzie's list, augmented by a few players that seem to be rising or have caught the attention of some posters on our Boards.

So, vote away, and then let's discuss.

Went with Lundell, would love to get another late first and take Nybeck as well.

I like Jarvis's combination of skill and speed at that position.

I really like LaPierre but his conclusion history is a big time risk. Maybe he falls to the second round.

Concussion?

 

[surixon]

Concussion?

Yeah. He's had quite a few of them.

 

[Daximus]

Concussion?

Yeah he had 3 in the span of 8 months. Still suffering the effects of the last one.

 

[Daximus]

This is where it gets hard for me because if I go with BPA then it's Jarvis on my list.

 

[bustamente]

Jereme Poirier or Braden Schneider, both D in a position of need for the Jets going forward

 

[Adam da bomb]

No you wrote conclusion I was clarifying what you meant.

 

[Daximus]

Jereme Poirier or Braden Schneider, both D in a position of need for the Jets going forward

Poirier is on my do not draft list. I'd be really upset if the Jets take him anywhere but maybe the 6th or 7th round in this draft.

 

[EnglishJet]

I took LaPierre. I know he's a risk but he's such a great talent I'd be willing to take a risk, especially if we're more to the 15th OA spot. Also, great name!!!

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Not knowing a damn thing about any of these players, I just went with the guy who has a similar name.

Why the disdain for Poirier Dax ?

For what it's worth...

If we’re talking dark horse then Jack Quinn for me. Quite possibly one of the best scorers in the draft when it’s all said and done. No one is talking about this sleeper.

I don't know nearly as much about prospects as you, but I was already intrigued by Jarvis and his potentially transformative skillset, and your endorsement offers more weight.

I don't see a franchise-altering C or D being available in the #12-15 slot, so I think you go with pure talent and upside. Mercer is another player that intrigues me, but Jarvis' sublime skating and all-around game puts him on top.

He's an interesting one, for sure. Pure scoring talent, maybe like DeBrincat. I prefer Jarvis because I think he has the offense, and also will tilt the ice with his all-around skill and speed.

 

[puck stoppa]

What does everyone think of Mercer? He’s one guy I’m not too sure what to make of. Solid prospect but not sure how big of a ceiling.

 

[puck stoppa]

I didn’t see Lundell on the list before I voted but I had him in the top 10, he’s not going to be there when we pick.

 

[puck stoppa]

For what it's worth...

Good to hear. Hope he gets healthy cause he’s good. Sort of reminds me of Nolan Patrick with all the bad luck on injuries.

 

[surixon]

No you wrote conclusion I was clarifying what you meant.

Ah gotcha. Good old auto correct.

 

[puck stoppa]

Jarvis is a good player, I don’t mind Zary or Holloway either. All these players outside of 9-10 have some sort of knock on them, it’s a matter of picking the right one.

 

[surixon]

For what it's worth...

Ah so similar to what happened to Crosby. That would be great news and move him back up my list.

 

[puck stoppa]

Jake Sanderson could be Samberg 2.0 could he not?

 

[Daximus]

Why the disdain for Poirier Dax ?

He's just a black hole defensively. And not the I don't care type like Merkley was. He's the I try but have absolutely no idea where to be, how to get in passing lanes, how to use my stick efficiently or how to use my body in any physical way type. He also is a very one man show type of offensive player and just tries to do way to much on his own. I would hate it if we used a 1st round pick on him.
