Didn't see it posted: Jets 1. (14) Pittsburgh CB Darrelle Revis Ht/Wt: 5-11.5/204 40: 4.54 Physical shutdown coverman should be Jets' top cornerback as a rookie 2. (47) Michigan LB David Harris Ht/Wt: 6-2/243 40: 4.53 A steal this late; Harris will likely usurp Eric Barton's spot in the lineup 6. (177) Nicholls State OT Jacob Bender Ht/Wt: 6-6/316 40: 5.22 Held Adam Carriker without a sack in matchup with Nebraska last year 7. (235) Clemson WR Chansi Stuckey Ht/Wt: 5-10.5/197 40: 4.61 Heady slot prospect shouldn't have problems making the team as a rookie Overall: There aren't many players to analyze in this draft class, but the Jets almost certainly got two instant starters, both of whom should help against the run, with their first two picks. Revis could make recently arrested CB/KR Justin Miller expendable, while Harris projects as a better run stuffer and playmaker than the man he'll take over for. Stuckey (speed) and Bender (weak competition) have their shortcomings but offer potential as role players. The top two picks are the story here. Overall Grade: B http://www.rotoworld.com/content/features/column.aspx?sport=NFL&columnid=174&articleid=28270
1. (14) Pittsburgh CB Darrelle Revis Ht/Wt: 5-11.5/204 40: 4.54 Physical shutdown coverman should be Jets' top cornerback as a rookie whats up with that 40 time ... i thought he ran a 4.3
He ran a 4.39 at his pro day. The 4.54(According to Revis himself) is a complete myth and never ran a timed 40 in his life before his pro day
I don't understand how writers keep using the myhtological 5.54 40 time! Just look a couple lines down at Harris' 40! There is no way in hell Harris ran faster than Revis, endo story.
why??? what exactly have these particular rookie draft picks done that they grade our draft so high???
You could say the same thing about them getting a B or any other grade for that matter. Or you could say that about any other team's rookies that recieved a higher grade than any other team's.
I think we did good in this draft and we do have two potential starters this year in Harris and Revis but I don't think we deserve a B+. The reason for that is we only drafted four players. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but a grade of B for drafting four players in a draft of 7 rounds is actually more than I expected.
They're grading the quality of our picks. What's better, drafting 4 players and getting 2 starters, or drafting 11 players and only getting 2 starters?
