WR JAMISON CROWDER, NEW YORK JETS
After agreeing to a rather substantial pay cut before the season to stay with the New York Jets, Crowder earned just a 65.1 receiving grade for 2021, the second-worst mark of his seven-year career. The veteran is a reliable slot receiver with just four drops on 154 targets since 2020. However, his 3.4 yards after the catch per reception in 2021 was a career-low by almost 1.5 yards.

Strengths:
– Quickness
– Hands
– Play from the slot

Weaknesses:
– Size
– Speed

Scheme Fit/Role:
SLOT RECEIVER: Crowder isn't big nor fast, but he does everything else well and has been a consistently clutch slot receiver despite plying his trade for the Jets and Washington in the NFL. Crowder has a defined role, but any team needing a slot receiver would benefit from adding him.

Recent Injury History:
Crowder pulled a groin muscle early in the 2021 season. He has a history of soft-tissue muscle injuries in his NFL career.

Contract Projection: One year, $4.5 million ($3.5 million total guaranteed)

Bottom Line:
Crowder would be an upgrade at slot receiver for most NFL teams. Seventy-six percent of his career snaps have come inside, and he is a specialist in that role.

I think they would like to draft a day 2 receiver. Turner was as good in limited action, he is more of a quality #4.
how do you know turner doesn't take the same leap Cwilson did with reps more reps i say he could more likely than not i saw his flashes ..im not going higher then 4th round on wr its deep and we are talking role players..

We are thin at the position right now.

Who on the market do you like

I start Pollard and use him like a Deebo Samuel, where he is just as likely to take a handoff as go out for a pass.

If they are going to utilize CD in the slot, I assume they will utilize Simi outside.
If they need a slot, I assume Pollard.
If they need a goal line jumpmaster, I assume they will use Vasher.

If they don't know what they are doing, I assume they will use a high draft pick on a #3 WR and then not utilize him.

What I've been hearing top 2 need by the team. Somewhere within the top 3 rounds.

I’m not happy with any of the options we have currently at third receiver. It’s supposed to be a pretty deep wide receiver class I would draft one. I would also keep my eye open for one in free agency.

dont agree Polards just not built the same..these hybrid guys are rare closest to Deebo is Cordelle patterson imo

I mean yes use Pollard more in space, get him outside as wr some but i dont believe he can be a deebo type..

Cordelle is a FA correct?
I'd like to think we would use him like Atlanta did, but we'd probably just ask him to go deep and run an occasional jet sweep.

Whoever it is, make sure he has superglue-coated hands. I'm tired of all of the drops.

Our #1 Qb does not need any kind of WR. He will elevate anybody you name.

I am concerned about his ability as a route runner. His hands are good as a receiver and having him split out opens up options of him motioning into the backfield or coming around on a jet sweep, which keeps the defense from bunching as much to stop our inside run.

Number 3? What about #2? Gallup was tore up his knee in week 17 last season, no way he's 100% by game 1.
