I'm making this under the assumption that we'll have our 1st, 2nd, and 4th round picks. I expect us to be picking in the 25-32 range. 1st Round: Arthur Jones DE Syracuse. With WR locked up, this pick makes 100% sense. Both of our DE are 32 and repleneshing the lines is what good organizations do. We run a lot of 4 lineman plays also, so he can spell Jenkins during those and play DT. 2nd Round: Jason Fox OT Miami. With Woody and Faneca getting up there in age, we need to Draft a guy who can replace one within the next two years or so. 4th Round: Danario Alexander WR Missouri. Even with Braylon Edwards, we still need some help after he and Cotchery. Danario is extremely athletic, has good hands, and is tough to take down after the catch. He could play slot for us and even though I love Wallace Wright, he probably isn't fit to be a starting receiver. 6th Round: Myron Rolle S Florida State. He could go anywhere from the 4th on, so I'm not sure if he'll be there. But Rolle is obviously a very smart guy and a solid player. Eric Smith has played well in a backup role, but I'd like to see the Jets address Safety in this Draft. 7th Round: Pat Angerer ILB Iowa. We could use some depth at LB since we lost Trusnick. Angerer is a very solid player from Iowa and was huge against Penn State. Since we won't have to worry about QB, RB, or WR, the Jets can start piling depth on the lines and the front-7. Hopefully they don't getting another WR now that we have Braylon because if Tate/Gilyard/Alexander/Briscoe/etc falls, they'd be great picks.
I could be wrong, but, I think we're only gonna have our 1st, 2nd and either 6th or 7th round picks for next Draft. We owe the Browns our 3rd (or possibly 2nd, depending on how many catches Edwards has this year) & 5th. Our 4th will probably go to the Eagles for the Shep trade, and we also owe the Lions our 7th round pick for the O'Connell trade. So, if everything goes according to plan, we'll only have our 1st, 3rd, and 6th round picks. Or if Braylon drops the ball often, we still have our 1st, 2nd, and 6th round picks. Edited after seeing the Lions trade.
This doesn't make sense... You say we don't have to worry about drafting a receiver, but you draft one anyway?
From what I read, Lito has already missed enough to prevent us from giving a 2 and they'll likely give very small compensation for him. The number of passes Braylon would have to catch is very high apparently, so it's unlikely that coming in to a new offense, he'll reach that number.
I meant in the 1st or 2nd round. It was our #1 need before. Now we can add depth there by addressing it later in the Draft.
The Lito trade is conditional. If he still plays the next 9 games and has a strong outing, I doubt the Eagles will take less than a 6th for it. I'm sure they're gonna want at least that 4th. If he misses half the season, then maybe I can see the Eagles taking a 6th. So far, that's not the case yet. I like to plan for the worst case scenario. But u are right. I don't think the picks will change in the Edwards deal.
Why? There's no reason to use another one of our draft picks on a receiver. We have up two for Edwards. He fills that HUGE hole opposite Cotchery. Depth at receiver doesn't matter anymore. Cotchery, Edwards, and Keller can handle the receiving duties. I have a gut feeling that Miles Austin will be a Jet in 2010. The Jets have to draft a tackle, a guard, and defensive end. Anthony Davis out of Rutgers would be a great pick for this team in the first.

He's already missed +15% of the season so we're keeping our 3rd rounder which made this deal possible. Sheppard's injury could be a huge blessing in disguise and here's the most important part: • If Sheppard is injured and misses considerable time, the Jets can get out of the deal after one year and they wouldn't owe the Eagles a draft pick in 2010. If that's the case, all it would've cost them is a fifth-round pick in the '09 draft. One person familiar with the deal said it could amount to a "one-year test drive" for the Jets. We may very well keep the picks we were supposed to send to the Eagles.
Considerable time is 2-1/2 games? I would think considerable would mean something like a quarter of the season, or at most half the season. He's listed as questionable this week, so he could very well be en route to missing considerable amount of time, but as of right now, I still consider us owing the Eagles a pick. As of right now.
That's only if Sheppard stays on the field for the rest of the season. Depending on our packages and how well his ankle holds up, he could miss a lot more. If we can win without having him on the field for every defensive series from now until the end, I think Rex will move to keep the draft picks. Also, I don't have too much faith in him playing out the rest of the season. He's only had 2 season of 16 games.
That's true. Our D has held up lately with him out, so we've been fortunate. I hope we do keep out draft picks. I was really looking forward to getting some Rex Ryan guys to join this defense in the off-season via the Draft. That man has eye for talent and I would love to build a scary D for years to come.
It's definitely going to be a 3rd and not a 2nd round pick, Schefter said the numbers had to be HUGE for it to be 2nd round picks, and I don't see him putting up huge numbers this year. But I definitely do in the future.
to be honest if edwards catches more than 60 balls for us, i would be surprised... only so many balls to go around, you know cotch and leon and keller will get theirs...
Now, I've heard forever that this draft is awesome. I know it's far too early to make any real judgments, but I'm definitely going to pray Tanny trades down this draft. Would it be better to trade out of the first round and pick up some 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round depth? Or would it be better to keep the first rounder, take someone good, and trade down out of round 2.
I think we should definitely use the first to capitalize on the top DL talent. Oghobaase, Jones, or Cody would be a good pick.
not to claim that i know diddly doo-dah about the draft upcoming, thats Mr. E, Jabba, and all the other draftnicks on the site to say, but it depends where we are selecting in the first, if we somehow end up selecting in mid-round 1, i would stay put, but if we are sitting late round 1 say 26 or later, i would look to slide back and look to add the depth that will be there rounds 2-4. however like the above have said there is expected to be some serious talent not only on the defensive side of the ball, but especially in the trenches. We need quality young guys on the lines, so if the right guys are there, expect us to stand pat...
