I dont understand taking Floyd, we arent a passing offense. We are a running offense, Id much rather take an Oline guy and get back to the ground and pound. I feel taking Floyd wont improve our team that much and wont be as big of an impact. Thats just me though....

Rd 2 (47) - Mohamed Sanu WR: We need a WR2/3 and the more I read about Sanu the more I like him. It also helps that he WANTS to be on the Jets
Rd 3 (77) - Bruce Irvin OLB/DE: He's a great pass rusher who is just super raw. He's explosive with alot of upside.
Rd 5 (154) - Antonio Allen SS
Rd 6 (187) - Ronald Leary OG
Rd 6 (202) - Toney Clemons WR
Rd 6 (203) - Jerron McMillian SS
Rd 7 (232) - Ronnie Cameron DT
Rd 7 (242) - Julian Stanford OLB
Rd 7 (244) - Michael Barbour K

Sorry...this would be disappointing

So because we're ground and pound we don't need depth at WR? That's ridiculous...so shall we line up in a double TE set every down?

Think of Floyd as a better version of Braylon. He makes crazy catches, is a deep threat, can go over the middle, and is the best blocking WR in this draft. How would that not improve our team? We are a running team but we do pass, and in order to work an offense in the NFL we need to have consistent WRs. Floyd, Holmes, and Kerley would be excellent for Sanchez.

Once you open the passing game you open up the run game and vice versa.

Floyd makes the team more well-rounded and less predictable. His selection makes defenses have to account for more, and thus they can't just contain the run. If you're going to blabber about how you think you're going to win games, you better have more than just a plan A. He also punctuates the running game with his eager, physical blocking.

Sorry, but Chaz Schilens shouldn't stand in the way of picking up the franchise WR for the next 5 years.

Haha, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I like the idea of having someone waiting in the wings for Scott's departure. Not to mention I like the idea of refreshing the linebackers in general.

Haha hes a great prospect so I can see why people chose him, I just hope posters have watched him prior to just selecting a name.

We need a kid to groom behind Scott for this year and hopefully to start next season, Goode is perfect for that role and can learn from Scott. He has all the tools needed to be a solid LB, I'd be happy if Rex got his hands on him.

I understand ya, he looks great, but didnt we just pay Holmes the big money? Im sick of this 1-year replacements as anyone else but couldnt we find some depth in the 2nd round?

Im no draft expert at all, so sorry if im coming off as clueless

Its fine, and yes we can, guys like Sanu and Jeffery in the second or Marvin Jones and Greg Childs in the third would all be solid pickups but the problem is passing up Floyd to only hope for those guys instant smart.

When talent is there you take it and run.

mark sanchez thrives in play action and michael floyd is extremely good at run blocking. if we go floyd in round and OT in round 2, our offense could be one of better ones in the league. shonn greene can be extremely effective if he has a good OL (it really dropped this season) and if he can start running better, that opens up the play action for mark sanchez. also holmes benefits from this as defenses now have to account for another WR

I agree with everything except Shonn Greene being effective :\

After reading numerous mock drafts/player rankings, reading plenty of analysis and watching a decent amount of CFB here's my (far from expert) outlook:

There's three guys I would love to see us draft at 16 (in the following order)-

Melvin Ingram OLB
Michael Floyd WR
Mark Barron Safety

One thing we all know about the draft is players fall unexpectedly. Everyone teams boards are different, their needs are different and their draft abilities/philosophies are different. That being said, if I was playing GM, unless one of those three players fell to us I'd try like crazy to move back. There's not much drop off in talent picking late in the first round or 16. Obviously, for this to happen someone needs to fall that doesn't make sense for the Jets. Good examples might be Tannehill, Coples, Reiff etc.

I'd say there's almost a 50/50 shot for one of my top 3 prospects to be available when we're on the clock. But I believe our targets if we trade down in the first round should be: Upshaw, Perry, Hightower. If we could manage to pick up a 3rd round pick and select one of those three players, Tanny deserves a ton a credit.

In the second round, there's 10-15 names I wouldn't mind drafting, but a few names that pop out are:

Alshon Jeffrey - WR
Ronnel Lewis - ILB
Mykal Kendricks - ILB
Harrison Smith - Safety
Lamar Miller - RB

I know many Jets fans haven't been talking about inside backers, but any Jet fan that watched Bart Scott play last season knows his days are numbered. I know Kendricks is short, and Lewis has been a bit inconsistent, but I think they both have a lot of potential. Lamar Miller may seem to be a bit of a luxury pick, but if he's the BPA when we pick I hope we pull the trigger, this guys legit. Everyone knows Jeffrey is a baller, but his discipline has been in question so he could drop to our 2nd pick. Harrison Smith could be gone, but if not, he fills a HUGE need on our defense.

I know my outlook is a bit all over the place so let me simplify things. The Jets have some BIG holes (pass rushers, RT, safety) and grey areas in certain positions (WR, ILB, RB). I'm looking for our FO to go BPA in any of those positions for the first 2 rounds. For instance, in the second round if the best rated player on our board is a wideout- he needs to be selected, same goes for ILB or RB.

A combination of Melvin Ingram in the 1st, and an ILB in the second like Ronnell Lewis would instantly revamped our defense and give Rex the tools to get our defense back to the tops of the league. Unrelated to the draft, chalk me up for signing Braylon back since most likely Floyd nor Jeffrey will fall to either of our picks.

It's late and I'm just real excited to see what happens in the draft tomorrow! Enjoy everyone.

Do you not think Reiff could play RT, or do you believe the front office when they say they like the line as is?

[facch]

I don't think he'd have a problem playing RT at all. I just believe we'll address OL in the later rounds with multiple picks rather than invest more money on our line to a top pick to play RT where a modest salaried player usually can get the job done.

Wow.

No trades mock with Ingram there at 16. Not sure if all of these guys will be available where I pick them, but here goes nothing.

Rd 1 (16) - LB Melvin Ingram, South Carolina
Jets get a LB who they can play anywhere and everywhere. Will be a lot of fun to see how the Jets use him and his pass rushing ability.

Rd 2 (47) - WR Alshon Jeffery South Carolina
Another South Carolina guy, but we need a big receiver to complement Holmes and eventually be the #1 guy. He's big, athletic and could potentially be that guy.

Rd 3 (77) - OG Brandon Brooks, Miami (OH)
Productive, versatile guard.

Rd 5 (154) - OLB/DE Jake Bequette, Arkansas
Rd 6 (187) - WR Danny Coale, Virginia Tech
Rd 6 (202) - RB Terrance Ganaway, Baylor
Rd 6 (203) - ILB Emmanuel Acho, Texas
Rd 7 (232) - CB Omar Bolden, Arizona State
Rd 7 (242) - CB D'Anton Lynn, Penn State
Rd 7 (244) - DL J.R. Sweezy, NC State - Just for the name

I think its cheating to do trades in these things.

I like the mock aside from the lack of any safety signing (unles you see a CB transitioning)
