Based on needs, value and possibile availability at 29 Overall NO PARTICULAR ORDER S Earl Thomas OLB Jerry Hughes OLB Sergio Kindle 34DE Brian Price S Taylor Mays I didn't list Brandon Graham or Dan Williams only because I don't see much chance of them being there.
RB Ryan Mathews WR Golden Tate DE Carlos Dunlap 3-4 OLB Sergio Kindle OG Mike Iupati There's no reason to go after another small back like Jahvid Best. I'd really like to see the Jets pick up some like Gerhart or Hardesty in the second. Thomas Jones isn't going to re-sign. Running back has become a huge need now.
Im going to do like Jabba because at the moment I am still fuzzy about where the Jets could go DE/DT Jared Odrick-Penn State (also Tanny likes picking big 10 people early) DE/DT Lamar Houston-Texas OLB Jerry Hughes- TCU WR Damian Williams- USC DT-Terrance Cody, Alabama
HB-Ryan Matthews DT-Terrance Cody WR-Arrelious Benn WR-Golden Tate OLB/DE - Brandon Graham ** Yes, i still believe we'll have a shot at him @ pick 29
I don't think they go RB early if at all. They drafted Greene anticipating Jones would not be here in 2010. Greene/Washington is a heckuva combination. I think they will pick up a veteran (ala Jesse Chatman) as insurance. I still think they may go CB if there are no DL they like at that spot. I also think they can get a good WR later ( D Williams/Gilyard, etc) Call me crazy, I think they will move off this pick (again). McCourtny/Robinson/K Jackson Oldrick Tate/Benn
Just for the record, MBG, if Graham is there he's the guy I would take in a NY minute, and I believe the Jets would as well I didn't list him because the odds on him being there at 29 are so miniscule in my view, but I hope I'm wrong
Shonn Greene and Leon Washington is a very good combination, but in this system, we're going to need a third back. Washington is more than likely gone after this season. There's no way in hell the Jets are going to pay him what he wants. Also, Greene and Washington cannot carry this team, even with shared carries. Neither back can take a heavy workload. Bringing in another powerful back has to be considered. I don't think we'll go after a corner early in this draft. It just wouldn't make any sense after the Cromartie trade. What do you mean by later? Damian Williams won't make it to the back of round two. I'm really interested to see how this Coles' situation develops...if he returns to New York, our need for a slot receiver would decrease quite a bit.
agreed. i know Graham's stock is rising.....but weirder things have happened in past drafts....he may fall right into our laps.
Also Leon Washington is coming off a "compound fracture" I don't care how much people want to downplay it, that injury is deadly serious, especially for a RB who relies on his legs. Maybe he bounces back and he's the same player he always was, but that is not even close to a gimmie. That injury has ended careers, its that serious.
DT Terrence Cody CB Kyle Wilson(I'd still do it) CB Devon McCourty HB Ryan Matthews DE Lamar Houston Graham would be my top pick but I don't think chances are great that he will be there at 29.
OLB Sergio Kindle ("Sergio!") DT T.Cody OLB/DE E.Griffen G Mike Iupati DE C.Dunlap I'm going on the assumption that G.Tate, Brandon Graham, and R.Matthews will all be gone. Actually, I also wouldn't be shocked if the Jets gamble on Taylor Mays if he falls to 29.
^ yeah...i'm pretty sure drafting Mays would ruin my draft festivities.....unless we got him in the 5th round :smile:
Hopefully: OLB Brandon Graham Realistically: OG Mike Iupati DE Carlos Dunlap WR Golden Tate NT Terrence Cody RB Ryan Matthews
I dont think we go running back early we just have bigger needs look at the Giants two or three years that headed monster was composed of late round draft picks. The year the giants drafted Jacobs they had only 4 picks (same as us this year). I understand a late round pick, hell LeGarrette Blount, who is one of my favorite running backs, may even be available when we pick and even then there are still good backs like Charles Scott or James Starks (there are more of course). I'm not saying that we shouldn't consider adding another back I'm just saying I don't think it is logical to draft a running back with our first two picks
