dude...there's a bazillion capable running backs in the upcoming draft....Pass Rushers are diamonds in the rough. If Gholston is there, you take him...even if it's a choice between that sperm donor McFadden and Gholston. After hearing about his Pro Day....Gholston has to be the pick.
I think my whole point to this thread was that based on his workouts, whether we should take him or not at 6 is a mute point, he'll be gone...
4 things........... 40 times are over rated we should trade down if LUCKY enough to get the opportunity to do we should take a WR and either a CB or a big DE We had 4 picks last year 2 were great 1isnt looking good and Stucky was on da IR....we dont have a 3rd or a 5th, so trading down would make up some picks....not to mention we could sign both picks for less than our #6pick would cost...
we need to balance and stabilize the team...see what we got, then take it from there... P.S.....Giants won the SB without Barber and Shockey....so you dont need DMC...OL...thats where it is..thats how these RBs have good years ...Peterson had Birk Hutch McKinnie and T.Richardson, he had help...give Leon and TJ a real chance (with a good OL)...IMHO of course and C Martin had McKenzie Thomas Mawae Fabini....so....yea you get the picture
Giants were a fluke. Everything broke right for them. Crayton drops the ball, Dallas losses. Favre has the whole team open in OT, throws to the one guy covered and Webster picks him off. Pats have the game all but locked up and Tyree catches a pop up. Jets need stars. They have none. They need a star on offense. Mcfadden is a star. It's a perfect fit.
I vote for McKelvin or Gholston at #6. Bring back the New York Sack Exchange and establish a real home field advantage. A big time defense is a better fit for a northeast team than a big time offense.
and the pats won by 3 points how many times in the playoffs? .....point is they were in it to win it bc of their physical DL and OL...the rest falls to place
i wouldnt be pissed if they took DMC but i think trading down for a bigWR that can stretch da field al8ng with our revamped OL would help Leon and TJ look as good as they really are....and with the other pick you take a CB or a DE....
Thought you guys would like to know this: "...Tim Graham, of the Palm Beach Post, reports the New York Jets will attend the personal workout of Ohio State University DE Vernon Gholston Monday, March, 10. .."
Well I'm happy to see that with the FA signing of a RB we now have 3 competent backs on staff, and the chances of us taking your boy, the Sperminator, are greatly diminished.
Code: Big deal, they've taken care of the defense. They're taking Mcfadden !!! Code: Mcfadden is a far better player. Gholston is the kinda guy whose great in these workouts but not as great on the football field. Mcfadden is the Jets guy, if he's still there, no doubt about it. Alot of you can play pretend that somehow ridiculously the Jets would choose Gholston over Mcfadden. Never happen in one million years. Code: He was considered an underachiever in college. I don't know why some of you just don't get it. They're taking Mcfadden. It's all but done. Unless he's not there. Then you all will get your chance to overrate Gholston. But it's gonna be Mcfadden cause they're biggest needs now are offensive playmakers and offensive speed and they will jump at the chance to take the best player in the draft by far, with the largest upside at 6. And the whole place will erupt !!! Code: He was a no show in certain big games. He's not in the same stratosphere as Mcfadden as a prospect. Sorry, but he isn't. Code: Foolish nothing. Alot of you just embarrass yourselves as people who don't even watch college football. Mcfadden is so far above Gholston as a prospect, it's not even a conversation. Yet you come on the Jet site, and it never fails, you find a large contingent wanting the Jets to ignore the best prospect and settle. Never fails. Code: Stop always settling. THEY HAVE NO PLAYMAKERS ON OFFENSE. THIS GUYS A BIG PLAYMAKER. Stop being ridiculous. Code: Stewart and Mendanhall aren't on the same planet as Mcfadden. Stop settling. Code: You obviously don't know this player. He's the best player in this years draft by far. He gets to #6, the Jets get the biggest gift of the draft Code: Best player in this years draft by far. Peterson also was a similar prospect, how's he turned out? Jets are starving for offensive talent, starving for offensive explosiveness, this guy specializes in both, he's the no brainer pick if he's there at six. And the Jets, luckily know that, unlike some on this site who always want to settle for second and third best guys who they can then proceed to overrate (aka Gholston who is so overrated on this site, it's not even funny). Code: He's not a fumbler. That's an abberation. He touched the ball a million times in college. Code: Mcfadden is fantastic. Too many on this site just don't know this guy. He's great !!! Yea man-crush is the correct term. I have seen atleast 20 responses from you all about one sentence long, all bashing everyone else and their opinions. While at the same time making McFadden a hero. I have looked up enough things but this is from the past few days. There has not been one good argumentive response from you, let alone one response that didnt involve McFadden. Now this is my argument, maybe he is going to be a great player but get off his lap. He is a very immature 20 year old thug. He has had 2 chilren with 2 different girls already and has 2 more on the way. Here take a look at his car imagine what he does with millions . 4 kids from 4 mothers shows that you are very irresponsible. He may be the best talent in this draft but he is by far one of the worst characters in this draft. I personally do not want to see the Jets pay that much money for a position that is not a need, especially to someone who wont be able to handle the spotlight. This is a business not just a sport and you do NOT invest that much money into a position that has players who barely last past 29 years old. Who are only in on half of the plays and are needed to block which McFadden will never be able to do. Gholston or McKelvin or Long or Sweed are much better draft picks for #6 and the Jets then McFadden is. Get off his lap please. Youth?
After seeing that he painted that hideous Crown Vic and then had the audacity to put it on 32" chrome wheels, I know that he's not the guy for us.
I have enough faith in this CS not to draft and fall into the McFadden hype. I am happy where our offense is all we need to do is add some OL depth, a big WR, and we will be good to go. Im just glad Martin isnt running this team, and I feel very confident about what this CS has been doin this off-season and I have been spot on with my predictions and I truly believe McFadden will not be a Jet ever! Youth?
So you think that we have enough playmakers in T jones, L Washington and Cotchery? Hmm interesting...
I'm with you, right now it's a crapshoot between Gholston, best available CB or tradedown for WR in mid-1st if someone bites. We just don't need this guy right now. Too many pressing needs would make his selection a "luxary pick."
Thomas Jones put up decent #'s for the year behind the worst O-line in the league. 1000+ yards behind that line is actually very impressive. I also think that by adding a quality FB to a line which changed overnight you'll see dramatic improvement in the play of these 2 backs. Is Cotchery a playmaker? No. Is he dependable and a competent 1B/2 receiver? Yes. Do we need a #1 WR over a RB line McFadden? Absolutely.
We absolutely do need a player of his talent level, the offense doesn't have anyone that can be considered a playmaker. By your thinking, wouldn't Gholston be a luxury pick since we already have Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace? or the best CB since we already have Revis, Barrett, Miller & Coleman? or a WR, we already have Coles & Cotch? This team is in no position to pass on BPA, no matter what the position is.
