    I don't know that, but I would bet on it

    Rex loves Ed Reed about as much as he loves Darrelle Revis, and Thomas is that type of ball-hawking centerfielder

    I'm not saying he already "IS" Ed Reed, but he's almost idential in body type and he is that type of ball-hawking safety

    Rex also said (in regards to Cromartie), when it comes to DB's he likes the ask two questions ...

    1. Can they find it?

    2. Can they catch it?


    He answered both questions in the affirmitive for Cromartie, and that's what he coveted most

    So I can definitely see Rex falling in love with Earl Thomas and I strongly suspect he will be the pick if he falls to 29

    Just a hunch

    If Thomas falls to 29 I'd be stunned if he wasn't a Jet.

    Don't get your hopes up...

    Earl Thomas is one of the nastiest all-around safeties that I've ever seen.

    ...and Eric Berry is my top rated safety, so that should give you guys an idea of what I think of him.

    Exactly.

    I'd be amazed if he somehow dropped, and I would think the Jets would break the sound barrier getting their card to the podium.ty

    Now that I think about it, with Tanny and the FO's proclivity for targeting players they really want and then trading up for them, I would love for them to trade up if Thomas fell to the 19-24 range.

    I hope you're wrong, but I suspect you're right :sad:

    I love him too, E

    I just don't see how he falls past Dallas at the very latest, even if someone reaches up and snags Taylor Mays ahead of him. I'd love to have him, though.

    Why do I have the sinking feeling of another trade up in our near future.....

    I really don't think we have enough ammo to move up...unless we dip into our 2011 picks.

    I have a feeling that he loves Taylor Mays. I love Taylor Mays too though so it all works out.

    If we don't go after Atogwe/Bethea, I think we move up for Mays.

    I have a feeling that you've never seen Taylor Mays play.

    If the Jets trade up for Taylor Mays, I will beat someone to death and then drop a piano on their lifeless body.

    I'm done with trade ups for now. IF he somehow manages to fall to 29. Grab him as fast as you can. If he cannot make it past San Diego, forget it.

    You can no longer take Kerry Rhodes home.

    It would be a death knell to the so far good offseason the jets have.

    it's like a hot girl taking you to her place, get ready to fuck you, and then a man wearing a Batman costume rapes you.... and his name is Taylor Mays.

    Even his name is gay - Taylor Mays.... ewwww.

    Except not that.

    I've seen more of Mays than almost any player in this draft. I'm a big fan.

    HAHA, I don't know if I would describe him like that. His style of play just reminds me of an angry kid who wants to break stuff, he doesnt really care about anything other than breaking stuff. When you watch Taylor Mays all he wants to do is break bodies not do anything else

    In regards to Thomas I say he goes to the Texans

    Well, let me rephrase what I said earlier:

    I have a feeling you haven't seen any player in this draft play except for Taylor Mays.

    I've asked you this close to a thousand times and you never respond. Why are you so high on Taylor Mays? I just want to know. WHY?!?!

    and that's great for the NCAA.

    He'll have a shitload more to do in this system and in the NFL and he doesn't have the football IQ. Also, the Jets better be damn sure he is a do-it-all safety.

    Rhodes did. And Earl Thomas certainly does... but this team isn't one Earl Thomas away from winning it all - and that sucks. And Thomas won't be around at the end of the 1st round.
