Jets UDFA Signings 2014

He's possibly on a bender right now.

 

Brandon Coleman to Saints...:/

 

Jake Steinberg ‏@Steiny31 1m
St. Augustines WR Jermaine Jones will be in minicamp with the #Jets.

 

Especially with the Iowa State connection with Bauer.

 

WW any UDFA I should look out for?

 

Don't overlook Palardy! He was the placekicker, punter, and kickoff specialist for Tennessee this year. He was the star of the team. He'll make a heck of a punter for us.

I glad we signed a Punter, Palardy is very good.
Otherwise I'm not thrilled with anything we signed so far.
I think the Jets weren't as aggressive in FA due to having 12 picks.
There were some solid FA's: Skov, Loston, Dion Bailey, Tiny Richardson,Brandon Coleman..all signed with other teams. Tennessee signed some good players.

 

I have no idea how to grade punters lol.

 

I don't either, I look at their avg punts and # inside the 20.

 

Lol too much involved in that, how quick they get the punt off, hang time, can they kick end over end, I personally don't believe in drafting Kickers and Punters, sign them off the street and let then battle it out in TC.

 

starve them for days then put a turkey leg in the middle of the room and release them from the cages to fight to the death... wait what are we talking about ?

 

I'm surprised Kirby hasn't been signed, or drafted. IDK why we passed on him to bring this other guy in, but hey I'm just happy we brought in a punter at all. I would have been fine with drafting one, if it was a clear upgrade. It's a position we need to be strong at, if we have a questionable offense.

I'm curious about Victor Hampton, and Adrian Hubbard as well.

 

Palardy is a kicker.

 

WW85,

Why do you think Skov, Loston, Bailey and Richardson weren't drafted. I'm not very surprised that Coleman wasn't drafted, but am shocked about Skov, Loston, Bailey and Richardson.

 

I disagree. Kickers and Punters make a huge difference in field position and in close games often whether you win or lose. It's even more important when you have a conservative (or not very good) offense and you try to win with your D as Rex does. If you draft well, you shouldn't have to use but 2 low round picks every 4-7 years.

 

I never said they weren't important I just don't think they merit a draft selection.

 

And that's fine. You're certainly entitled to your opinion and no one said we had to agree. I can understand why you would think that way, and respect your opinion. I just think that they're so important that they're worth using low round picks on when you need one.

 

Hell yeah, because they're so hard to find undrafted.
