Nasty Nate Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Remember how Jets 'tanked' their last few games (ie. winning) to lose a possible 6th draft pick (7th for sure). How far would Jets have had to really tank to avoid picking Ehlers with 9th pick in first round? My guess is that they would have had to have 5th overall to select another players. Didn't make a difference at 6, 7, 8 or 9 - Ehlers would have been their guy. Any other thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 you've seen their draft board have you? This draft basically went thusly: There were 4 guys at the top then another 4 or 5 clustered together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 FWIW, on my incredibly uneducated board built off reading blogs and watching some highlight videos, I had Ehlers 5th on my draft board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I recall speculation was Jets wanted Ehlers and had him higher than where they picked him. Jets certainly arent afraid to go with their internal draft board over the "experts". I do agree Nate, that top 5 would have been something different, but they liked Ehlers.

Goalie Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Rumours were they were wanting to trade up to get Reinhardt. But Ehlers at 9 is a steal. Canucks probably reached a bit with Virtanen and the Hurricanes went with need instead of skill, They really lack d men in Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
