Here we go again. The only way the Jets have a successful offseason is to completely revamp the defense, starting with the line. The Jets don't need a running back - they need an impact game-changing front seven player on defense. You can pick up Faneca and draft McFadden and they can both stand on the sidelines watching the other team's offense run of consistent 7- yard 8 minute drives and gain 150 yards rushing and 400 yards of total offense. Those guys won't help if they can't get on the field and the Jet defense can't get off the field. It doesn't matter who plays offense for this team right now. I agree that the OL needs an upgrad and Faneca would be a good pick up, but the defense has to be the focus of the offseason, and not just with middle round draft picks.
or trading away other picks to reel in that special skill player. ( unless he is a monster fat body in the middle of our d-line.)
drafting a running back isnt goin to help...we need to improve our defence..we need a NT...im hearing good things bout that kid frank okam..
From who? Because all I'm hearing are bad things, unless he has a great combine, he'll probably fall to round 2.
Day 1 pick should go to D. I wouldn't mind seeing the Jets draft NT, OLB and CB in day 1. If they trade down and snag a DE, even better.
If we're looking for a NT in the draft, Okam is a little skinny. Isn't that kid from Texas A&M over 350? We could probably nab him in the second round... McFadden!
Think about it this way: What has been the greatest thing about being a Jets fan since the Namath era ended? Answer: Curtis Martin. What's wrong with building a team around a running back?
And watch him at the side line, looking at the porous defense getting raped 45 minutes per game so he can play some 15 minutes of offense?
it would have been nice to have used that 2nd rounder on something other than jones last year. then this pick would have been an easy one. more proof our management sucks, mangini included!!!i
I don't think it's fair to label Jones a bust. It's hard to be a thousand yard plus rusher when you don't get 20 or more carries in a game. If you're going to blame anyone for Jones' lack of productivity, point to Schottenheimer throwing the ball roughly four billion times a game.
Yes because waiting until day 2 to address the Oline worked out so well this year. I don't mind going NT or DE in round 1, but then round 2 needs to be Oline (this would change depending on any free agent moves made).
Why cant the Jets get Mcfadden?? I don't see why Jets fans we say no. Is it only me or is this team god awful to watch?? How about some excitement? How about a playmaker????? The Jets wont solve their defensive problems with this draft alone. Give us Jets fans something to cheer about GIVE US MCFADDEN and his PLAYMAKING ability!
I'm sure the staff would love to find a NT in the first two rounds (day one), but I'm not sure anyone worthwhile is available. NT is probably the most difficult position to fill of all, and you don't want to draft someone too high that is just so-so. I agree with the desire though. I'm guessing pass-rushing OLB in the first because its a good match of available talent and need. Probably want to trade down a little to do it though.
How I see it: A)there isnt a nose worthy w/ our first rounder B)Were not solving all our line woes on both sides through the draft C)You take McFadden before a linemen where we pick. I see good 3-4 OLB's get drafted mid to late first every year. Where do you ever see a McFadden figure past the mid first?
i didnt call him a bust, i was just refering to the front office idea of him being part of the long term plan... which he doesnt fit. or the short term plan to help us compete now (which we havent), either case a bad move! if our team is trying to rebuild, my 13 year old son makes better decisions on madden!!!!!!
A DO-OVER? Lets just say we F@^ked up last draft totally! We didn't finish the O-line,no DT,WR,QB,RB( we got one via FA ). Man where do I start. DT,Guard, RT, Guard ( 2 of them ), WRs( we need 2 ),QB . 4 those who THINK this was a good draftpast think again. NUFF SAID! We needed to finish the OL,DL,WR and QB positions 2 even go 8-8. So whoever was in charge of the last draft Needs 2 B fired period, no do-overs in the NFL. That was it, we F*#ked the draft!
