were not getting another wr..we are going to be paying more then 15 million on wrs.. not going to happen..it doesnt make any sense to due so..i know everyone likes amari cooper..its not going to happen either as long as harvin and decker are on the roster
I'd go Oline or CB in round 1. Decker, Kerley, and Harvin should be solid. Plus there's an outside shot that either Enuwa, or Evans pan out.
I would love Vincent Jackson at the right price on the right deal. Unfortunately we aren't gonna get him for anything less than a 4th (most likely) and his contract is just way too big for a guy his age. I'd roll with Decker and Harvin heading into next year, draft or sign another solid receiver and bring back Kerley on a fair feal.
Sign Megatron and Moss and Jerry Rice in their prime...doesn't matter when our QB is a steaming pile of dogshit
I'm not against drafting a WR at all. I just feel like we need to solidify the CB and Oline (tackle) positions.
How many times do we need to repeat the same mistake. I think that you see teams like the Bengals struggle without AJ Green and the Falcons struggled without Julio Jones last year (granted the o-line and defense also played a factor). A top level reciever can transform an offense from bracketing coverage to allowing the entire field to open up. Solid CBs and Olinemen will be available in round 2. Top level playmaker level wide recivers will not be. Even look at the Bills with Watkins, he made a bunch of big plays yesterday. If the Jets can get Cooper or any of the other top receivers, they better do it.
Agreed, build from the trenches out. V Jackson is a name and has / had skill but he's best on a team that throws down the field as you can see by his yds/reception #'s. There is no way they're going to trust Geno to do that, they've had to dumb down the playbook as it is already. The Harvin move I get, it serves several purposes.. it gives the team a complete starting receiving corp which, in theory, allows the team to properly evaluate Geno and less so Harvin for next year "IF" Marty can take his head out of his ass and remember how a good OC creates rhythm for the offense to move the chains and calls the proper plays for the down and distance at hand. I'm tired of seeing 3rd down passes thrown 5 yds short of the sticks, they had that type of OC already with Shotty. Giving up a 6th round pick that likely wasn't going to make the team anyway allows both Geno and Harvin an audition for the future. That's all this move is imho. If they strike gold maybe they even salvage their season and get back to a respectable W/L record.
4th-7th round picks are not generally expected to start anyway, they are generally expected to be back ups and special teams contributors, or occasionally they are longer term project picks. With a 12 pick draft, even though some are no longer with the team, we've accumulated a good amount of bottom end depth for the team. What we lack now is top end talent, so if you have the opportunity to bring in a top end talent for a 6th to 4th round pick you definitely do it.
We just got our top level playmaker in Harvin, he is the one that will open up the defense. Would it be nice to have more playmakers sure, but you have to prioritize. With the playmakers we have I think we can succeed. With the cornerbacks we have we simply can not, and that makes it more of a priority than a guy like Cooper. If we are on the clock and Cooper is the best option available our first priority should not be to draft him, we simply have too many other flaws with our roster, we should look to trade down. Get a deal like they got for Julio Jones, or what the Browns got for Watkins last year. That will go a lot further than what another receiver would do for this team. If we were a more well rounded team and one playmaker would get us over the top and the rest of the team wasn't so devoit of talent than you take him, but given the state of this franchise, the needs we have and what we have invested in WR it is beyond dumb to add another one at the expense of the rest of the team. Its really a no brainer, it would be like drafting another defensive lineman, it simply doesn't make sense.
We need to look to FA to address the CB position IMO. With Milliner and McDougle so far not panning out we need to add a veteran presence to that position. A guy like like Byron Maxwell isn't a bad idea. I'd be looking to sign two corners in FA and hope for the best with Milliner and McDougle which would free the Jets up to do something different in the first round.
We have Decker, Harvin, and Kerley that's a good stable right there. Amaro at tight end plus Salas is okay as a 4th receiver and we still don't know what we have in Evans and Enuwa.
So we have a great possession guy, a solid slot guy, a dynamic yet baggage-laden slot guy, some salsa, and an unproven mediocre prospect coming off IR. super good stable bro! Our pass game is still gonna be lame.
That has the potential to be an extremely solid WR core, but it all depends on Harvin's health and consistency. I have little doubt he will be motivated, but if he shows nagging injury issues and/or inconsistent production over these last games, then the Jets would likely cut him, and as a result, WR would still be among the team's biggest needs.
