    I have been thinking a lot of what the Jets could get at each pick, since the combine ended. I definitely realize there weaknesses now, and I basically think the Jets are done with FA and trading. So here is the Jets only mock, that I think satisfies many, if not all, of our needs.

    ROUND 1 (#25): Darrelle Revis | CB | Pittsburgh | 5-11 | 204 | 4.50

    This year is strong with 1st round CB's. It was hard deciding between Revis and Aaron Ross, but I feel Revis is more of the complete package. He does everything very well, and really nothing bad, although he doesn't do anything exceptionally well. He is a very solid CB, and would be an amazing #2 in my opinion. He also is a great punt returner, something we didn't really have last year. Should be an excellent option for us, if he is still her.

    ROUND 2 (#59): Manuel Ramirez | OG | Texas Tech | 6-3 | 326 | 5.20

    I feel our next biggest weakness, behind CB, is RG. We just don't have one right now. I do not trust Brandon Moore there anymore, and we need to pick up youth and starters on the right side of the offensive line. Right tackle is another big problem, so we need to adress one of those positions in the draft, if we want any stability there. Well with Ramirez we get a mauler, who will fit amazingly on this youthful offensive line. He is surprisingly athletic, from the little I have seen, for a beast his size. He is a superb run-blocker, just what we need, and an above average pass blocker too. He may go a bit earlier, but I would say there is a 70% chance he will fall here. Perfect guy.

    ROUND 2 (#63): LaMarr Woodley | DE/LB | Michigan | 6-2 | 266 | 4.75

    Woodley, early on in the off-season, was considered a 1st round pick, and his draft stock has fallen since. He has not done anything to really warrant that falling, but others at his position have done things to move in front of him. I was never a fan of Woodley with our 1st rounder, but I think getting Woodley here, with a late 2nd rounder, and getting him for his actual worth, would be a spectacular pick. Woodley is everything you look for in a 3-4 OLB. He posesses size, and speed and quickness. He has a knack for getting to the QB, as he had 12 sacks last year, and comes from a big time program. He is a tough, smart guy, a real "Mangini guy." A great leader, who I think would fit perfectly in our system.

    ROUND 3 (#90): Ben Patrick | TE | Deleware | 6-3 | 252 | 4.74

    Patrick is a seemingly unkown player, but I think the best all-around TE in this years draft. We need another playmaking TE for our 2-TE sets. Patrick is the PERFECT guy for that role. He reminds me a lot of Daniel Graham. He is fast, and has amazing hands, while he is also a very good blocker. A wonderful TE to compliment Baker, and I think could possibly be the steal of the draft. He is also a very smart player, as he attended Duke for 4 years. Should be a huge steal.

    ROUND 5 (#155): Dallas Baker | WR | Florida | 6-3 | 208 | 4.58

    Was considered an early - mid 4th round pick at the beginning of the off-season, but fell a little after a below average 40 time. In the 5th round though, I love him. He won't be that 3rd WR some of you want, but he could be very valuable to any team. He will be the perfect red zone guy, something we need badly. With Coles and Cotchery, both just about 6-0 tall, we don't have someone who can just jump for the ball in the endzone - that is where this guy comes in. At 6-3, he is an outstanding leaper, and is wonderful at snagging the ball out of the air. You lob it up to him, and he is bound to come down with it. Could be a very valuable player to a team filled with 6-0 tall recievers (AKA the Jets).

    ROUND 6 (#186): Ken Shackleford | OL | Georgia | 6-5 | 322 | 5.35

    I saw a bit of him this year, and he impressed me. He is a huge guy that played tackle for Georgia last year, and I think that is where he will end up in the pros. He can play either tackle or guard, and his size would indicate that he is obviously a guard, but his ability, to me, indicate a tackle. He is a big, strong guy that is surprisingly athletic and moves pretty well. I think he would be a project, but could progress into a good starting offensive tackle. Once you get down into this part of the draft, it is all about getting depth anyway. Could be a boom or just what he was expected to be, a depth player.

    ROUND 7 (#196): Dedrick Harrington | ILB | Missouri | 6-3 | 245 | 4.75

    Truthfully, I don't know much about this guy, but he seems like a true 3-4 ILB. From the reports I have read, he seems to be a hard-nosed, tough guy, who will knock down anyone that gets in his way. He is fast, big and strong, and that is what you want ina 3-4 ILB, right? Can't have enough linebackers in a 3-4...

    Of course I read it.Manny Ramirez? Based on what? the number of reps he put up?Dallas Baker?I love the Gators but please no.Revis maybe but I dont see anyone on that list I like.As fas as TE No way.The one we have we barely use and we need to draft another so he can get maybe three passes?I just hope our draft does not look like this.No offense to you and the time and thought you put into this.I sincerly hope we continue the trend of building the O line with at least our first two picks,Blalock and Grubbs /Beekman is fine.I am not too sold on Ramirez because of what he did at the Combine.It takes a lot more than reps to play Guard.

    Well Ramirez was slated to go in the 3rd round before the combine, and after the combine, putting up some ridiculous numbers and showing he is actual pretty mobile for a guy his size and strength, getting him in the late 2nd is not that much of a reach. Dallas Baker was my 5th rounder, there is a reason he is a 5th rounder. You are not gonna find a starter there, but this guy will be able to get us some TD's with his size, something we don't have at WR right now. We do need another TE. We will be running a lot of 2-TE sets, and you need 2 TE's for that, believe it or not. So yeah, we need someone who can catch, and block, which is why we were going after guys like Daniel Graham in FA. This guy reminds me of Daniel Graham, and could be an offensive weapon. And we are not picking 2 offensive lineman with our first two picks. It just wont happen. We have many more weaknesses than I think you realize, and we need to fill them all with those first few picks. There is no way we are getting Blalock AND Grubbs/Beekman. We will either get 1 of those guys in the 1st round, or someone like Ramirez in the 2nd. They will all be there in the 1st, but none of them will be there with our 2nd rounders, and I think Manuel Ramirez is basically equal to, maybe a bit worse, than Beekman. So he is great value down there.

    I like the positional selections...CB, OL, DL...but wouldn't houston or hughes be better picks there, especially as they're calling hughes NFL-ready, which is exactly what we need. A guard is next on my list also, and then DL. I also like Patrick, have heard a lot of good things about him, and seems perfect for the 3rd round. I guess the Barnes signing made mclain expendable, unless Tangini likes him better than the other FB on our squad (?forgot is name). Also at WR, I really like the guy from UCF that could probably be had at the same draft spot. Overall, I like your priorities though.

    Last year we picked Ferguson at 4 and Mangold at 29, so I disagree when you say it jut will not happen that we pick O lin e with our first two picks.We are pretty much in a similar position to last year.We do not have a right tackle, Clement is still unsigned.Last year we didnt have a Center and we didnt have a LT.This year we are without a RT and Kendall has about a year or so left on his deal.I know we have a lot of holes, but we have improved our running game with Thomas Jones so why not strenthen it further by addressing our O line? Yes we need help on the D line and at CB but those areas can be addressed with our other picks.I dont see WR/TE as a pressing need at all.Our LB core is pretty intact from last year.We certainly do not need to upgrade it with our first three picks.If say Beekman is there with the pick we got for Thomas Jones then I will say do it at all cost, especially if we have Blalock already with our 25th pick.In between those two picks I dont mind if we get a CB.

    By the way do we get any compensatory picks this year?We did lose Mawae and Fabini.I know we signed Teague and Clement, but Teague never even played a down.I am just hoping that we at least get a 7th rounder.

    Well Houston will not be there at our pick, and Hughes would be a HORRIBLE pick there. He is not even considered a 1st rounder anymore. After his horrible workout, he is just no where near guys like Houston, Revis, Ross and McCauley. He is not fit for our defense either. He is more suited towards a Cover 2 defense, because he is not fast at all. He would not fit most teams systems, which is why he will likely fall into the 3rd round. McClain is probably not coming her after the Barnes signing. And a WR, Mike Walker, I believe, will go somewhere between late 3rd to mid 4th round, so I don't think we will be getting him.

    What do you think of the actual picks though? Not just priorities.

    I'd be satisfied... Not crazy over Ben Patrick, but overall, that's pretty solid.

    I would love to see an offensive lineman drafted with our first or second pick. In a couple of years with Ferguson, Mangold, and whoever the lineman we get this year we could have such a solid foundation. I really dont like the idea of a corner at all mainly because everyones making their mocks based on needs rather then the best player

    Actually I think that draft kicks ass.

    I don't even like Revis (or any CB but Houston in genernal) all that much, but the next three picks would make this a very nice draft.

    Ramirez is a MONSTER, and IMO he's the best all around guard in this draft. He's big, strong, athletic, a devestating run blocker, and a guy who HAD to learn to pass block at TT and is above average there.

    Woodley isn't my favorite OLB prospect, but he's a player and he'd definitely do some damage on the field. I'd still prefer Spencer, Ambirini (I can't spell his name man), Moore, and Bazuin...but I do think he's a very good prospect in his own right. It took a while to realize it, but I do think he could be something.

    I love the Patrick pick, but I hate the Dallas Baker pick. I think we could do much better and faster. Someone like Higgins from UTEP (nice deep threat), and Steve Smith (just a good WR) would be a better pick for us.

    This isn't a bad draft if you aksed me. I just don't see us taking a CB in the first round like so many mocks have us doing. I think our first day could end up looking like this:

    1) Jarvis Moss/Anthony Spencer
    2A) Alama-Francis
    2B) Ramirez
    3) Steve Smith

    Of course, this leaves the hole at RT open. Thats partially because I think we'll resign Clement, and draft a guy like Mike Otto on day 2.

    Someone like Dallas Baker? Baker is one of the biggest recievers in this draft, bigger than Meachem.

    ROUND 1 (#25): Aaron Ross | CB | Texas | 6-1| 193 | 4.44

    He is a physical player, who tackles with well above average force for a corner. He is a willing defender against the run, and he has the ability to make plays in the backfield and blitz. His excellent burst that allows him to close quickly on routes in front of him. He has good ball skills for a corner. He locates the ball in the air and fights for it like a receiver. He also has the ability to contribute on special teams on both sides of the kicking game. He is a good runner in the open field that shows vision to see the lane, and burst to explode through it. He also has a knack for blocking kicks.

    ROUND 2 (#59): Tim Crowder | DE | Texas | 6-4 | 271 | 4.69

    He is strong against the run, using his size and playing strength to win battles on the line. He is a physical player who plays hard through the whistle. He has good feet and agility for his size, allowing him to stunt, cover in short areas, and flow to the ball effectively. Athletic with good range and can drop into coverage. He is an improving pass rusher who still has some upside left in that area. He is a smart, coachable player who also excelled in the classroom. Possesses good leaping ability, times jumps well and gets hands up when isn't going to get to the quarterback. He has been durable and has proven he will play through pain throughout his career. While he dislocated three fingers in 2005, he played in every game.

    ROUND 2 (#63): Doug Free | OT | Norther Illinois | 6-6 | 324 | 5.19

    Hard worker in practices and the training room who will do the little extras to improve Well-liked by the team and staff, taking pride in his leadership role…Has a good understanding of blocking schemes and is alert to twists and games. Started four years at offensive tackle. During that time he has proven to be a very durable player who hasn’t missed a game due to injury. The former high school tight end is extremely athletic and has been nicknamed “Doug Freak” by his teammates. Though he didn’t get to pass block much in high school, Free has developed into a very good pass blocker at NIU. He has a great work ethic and is a high motor player. He has outstanding character and still has the “mean streak” you like to see in an offensive lineman. Free is a good run blocker, who helped Michael Turner and Garrett Wolfe rack up huge numbers at Northern Illinois. He has yet to reach his full potential and has a great deal of upside. Some compare him to former NIU blocker Ryan Diem now of the Colts, but he is a much better athlete with quicker feet.

    ROUND 3 (#90): Kyle Young | C/OG | Fresno St | 6-5 | 324 | 5.40

    Kyle has been as reliable as Ol' Faithful and as hardworking as any steelmill jack. He has started every game at center for the Bulldogs since about the 1950s it would seem. Started every game from his freshman year forward--51 straight starts. Pro size and athleticism. Great motor. Shows the ability to move over to guard, and many teams are projecting just such a move for Young. Keeps fighting to the whistle on almost every snap. Nasty streak comes out quite often. Paved the way for a great year by RB Dwayne Wright.
    A hard worker and coaches speak highly of his intangibles. Excellent awareness and a high football IQ.

    ROUND 5 (#155): Desmond Bishop| ILB | California | 6-2 | 240 | 4.72

    Bishop has been the starting middle linebacker at Cal for the past two seasons after transferring from San Francisco Community College. He has proven to be a good leader both on and off the field. He has a good combination of size and strength for a linebacker. He has good instincts and is quick to read and react to what the offense is doing. He makes plays all over the field and always seems to be around the football. His strength allows him to effectively take on blocks of opposing offensive linemen. He is a great run defender who makes a lot of plays behind the line of scrimmage. Bishop has only been playing division I football for two seasons and he is still a bit raw. He lacks ideal speed and athleticism and can be a liability in coverage. He may be limited to being a two-down run stuffing linebacker at the professional level. Desmond Bishop could be a valuable player for a team that needs to improve its run defense. You will love Desmond as a player and person. He is a fiery leader who won't disappoint the team that drafts him.

    ROUND 6 (#186): Laurent Robinson | WR | Florida | 6-2 | 199 | 4.38

    Without a doubt, Laurent is one of the best receivers not playing IA football. He has been a Walter Payton award finalist and one of the most productive receivers in IAA for the past three seasons. He has good size. Very fluid athlete. Runs with a smooth, gliding style that deceives D-backs. Can snatch the ball in traffic. Capable of the highlight grab. Great production at this level. Tough and fearless. A guy with his hands and production deserves to be a 7th rounder at worst, but you never know how the NFL will react to the level of competition issue. Smart, instinctive runner and also does well in the classroom...Picks up plays quickly and is alert to coverages, doing a nice job of finding the soft spot in the zone to settle in...Regarded by the staff the team's "most trustworthy" player, as he works hard in the training and film rooms, showing good self-starting ability. Compares to LAVERANUES COLES-New York Jets-Like Coles, Robinson has that explosive running stride and acceleration to separate after the catch. Both are fearless catching in a crowd and show great sideline awareness, body control and loose hips to turn a short catch into a big play.

    ROUND 7 (#196): Will Gulley | SS | Houston | 6-3 | 220 | 4.60

    All-Pro potential in terms of his measurables, production, personal makeup and maturity. Will was considered one of the top safeties in the country in 2003 and 2004 before a serious knee injury sidelined him for the last couple games of '04 and all of '05. This kid had 175 tackles, 6 FFs, 8 ints, 13 PBUs and 8 TFLs in two years of starting for UH before the injury. He returned with a vengeance in '06, putting up 105 tackles, 5 ints., 7 PBUs, 2 FRs and 2 FFs (first on the team in tackles, ints and FRs. He was snubbed by the Combine selection committee-but you can bet the smarter teams know all about this fine athlete. Hits hard. Wraps up the ball carrier. Emotional. Will remind some of Chargers and Patriots safety Rodney Harrison in his approach to the game. Big play type. Has a knack for the forced fumble. Good hands (former receiver) who high points the interception. Has been very productive.

    Not bad Legler. I don't like drafting 2 offensive lineman though, because we have other needs we should adress. I think we should focus on guard early on, and get a tackle later, because Clement will most likely be back and starting, where as we have no starter at guard. But overall, I think you did a good job. Also, I am not sold on Crowder yet, because I am not sure how he will project. He doesn't really fit either 3-4 DE or 3-4 OLB, so I am not sure.

    Ideally I'd like to combine the two drafts. My ideal situation would be:

    1) Darrell Revis
    2a) Quentin Moses
    2b) Doug Free
    3) Kyle Young

    After that it's pretty much a crapshoot and you try and get depth and go BPA. Moses may not last to 59 but I think with all the hybrid DE/LB shooting up the board he could be availabe. Maybe try and deal 59, a 5th rounder and Barton to move up a few spots if he lasts until say Carolina at 45. Potentially 4 starters or at least guys that could see significant playing time and play key roles in the first 4 picks isn't too shabby.

    Moses sucks. I used to LOVE him, and I looked past that bad senior season. But showing up to the combine slow and not too fit, I don't like him at all anymore.
