KellenandtheJets Mock Draft 3.0

Albert seriously shot out of nowhere..........Top 5?

Im cool with the McFadden to NYJ move. No Problems.

Chicago as bad as they need a WR, would snatch Otah at that point IMO. Id take Otah over Chris Williams, thats just me though.

And sadly Talib may fall to round 2.

Outside of that, this is a pretty good round 1. Maybe Matt Ryan goes to ATL though.

 

Mcfadden??????? Your like a Democrate! You believe every thing the CNN says. Frankly Mcfadden is shity pick!!
He is dumb as a box of hammers & he has serious problems running east-west. He can win a sprint (like Lam Jones) but you need more in the NFL.

If you are wanting a back that bad that will make it in the NFL...wait until next year and get k. Moreno.....he is by far the best back and he blows mcafadden away

 

This is arguably the most idiotic post of 2008.

What does being a Democrat...minus the "e", and believing CNN have to do with mock drafts and/or football?

He has serious problems running east and west? Isn't that what Reggie Bush does, and it gets him no where? If McFadden can get to the next level and burn everyone in a sprint...I'm fine with it. Watch this video and try to tell me that he has "problems" -

YOU CAN'T TEACH SPEED.

Knowshon Moreno is a great back, but he's not Darren McFadden. Watch the Arkansas/South Carolina game, and you'll see what I mean. DMC's on a different level. Moreno may be a more complete back by the time he's done with college, but McFadden has that rare second gear that you don't see very often. If Darren McFadden pans out, he'll turn into a once in a decade type back. He has the abilities to be THAT good.

"Frankly", you need to get out of Georgia.

 

WOW. Democrate? Sports and Politics? I swear DMC is smarter than you just from reading your idiotic post. Learn how to spell before you blast DMC or question his intelligence. DMC was a Heisman finalist twice.Moreno had a great year but to compare those two is like comparing DEMOCRATE'S AND REPUBLICANE'S (LOL)
I want us to draft Gholston, but never will I say DMC is a shitty pick. Have you ever watched college football? If you have seen DMC play and you still think he is shitty, then you don't even need to be posting here.

 

Only way we stand a chance of picking a top-flight RB (assuming Moreno becomes one) in the '09 draft is if we stink up the joint again this year.

In other words, when you have the rare opportunity to pick a rare player, you do it. That chance may not come along again for many years. DMC has rare ability. The team that drafts him and uses him correctly will not regret it.

Also, the ignorance expressed in that post about "Democrates" is representative of the political spectrum from which it oozes. They are narrow-minded, fearful, bigoted dittoheads because they are stupid, not in spite of it.

 

That's quite a climb for Albert. It would make sense for KC, but it seems like a reach.
But they could use an OT or OG...

There really isn't much more to pick at here, but isn't Avril a 3-4 OLB or 4-3 DE? Would he be a good fit for the Giants.

Rest looks good and the Albert to KC pick is interesting...

 

Branden Albert is the #1 player at his position...and he's very versatile. It's not that much of a climb, people on this board don't care about guards, or offensive linemen for that matter.

A lot of scouts have Albert ranked in their top 5 to 10 players in this draft. I wouldn't be surprised to seem him go to KC if Jake Long is gone. Their offensive line is garbage.

 

IF Albert is taken in the top 10 it would be because that team feels he can play left tackle, they're not going to take him that high to play guard.

 

He's still a big reach there, and Jerod Mayo would be a much better fit and provide better value

 

He's not that big of a reach at the end of the first. Curtis Lofton, Jerod Mayo, and Cliff Avril are different linebacker types.

Mayo has the ability to shine in a Tampa 2.
Lofton has the ability to be a lot like David Harris and perform at a high level at 3-4 ILB.
Avril has the versatility to play 4-3 end, or rush from the outside in the 3-4.

Avril should go at the top of round 2, so it's not that big of a reach there.

 

The problem you and all the McFadden heads have is that nobody knows who that "rare" player is until 3 years down the road. Past drafts are littered with players picked in the first 5 picks who were rare players and then became busts. Jerry Rice was the third or fourth receiver picked in 1985 and was picked 18th. Same with Moss. Emmit Smith was also picked in the mid to late first round while "can't miss" Blair Thomas was picked second. Favre was a 2nd round pick. Montana a 3rd.

Right now, Reggie Bush, who many on this board wanted the Jets to pull a Ditka and give up all the Jets' picks to get, is nothing more than a complimentary player. Vince Young can't pass. And Mario Williams is on his way to being a star. Don't propose to tell me or anyone else on this board that any of these players are rare or can't miss based on their college careers or combine measurements and times. In today's NFL, when most teams use running back by committee, and quality running backs are plentiful, it just doesn't make sense to pay a RB top pick money.

I prefer trying to get a pass rush. It is far more important and less dependent on other players than a running back.

 

Jerry Rice was picked 16th, not 18th, after shattering records and earning himself the title of the most dominant I-AA receiver ever. He was picked after Jets' great WR Al Toon, and Eddie Brown 1985's Rookie of the Year.

We signed Calvin Pace for A LOT money to give us a pass rush. I would actually like to see the Jets score some points.

McFadden should be the pick if he's there. I've seen him play in person...he's one of those guys that makes everyone hold their breath when he has the ball in his hands.

 

Pace's best season was 6 1/2 sacks. He was not brought in to solve and will not solve the Jets anemic pass rush issues. By the same token, Jones was signed last year to solve the Jets RB issues and behind an awful OL gained 1100 yards. Why wouldn't he improve that by 300+ yards with the new OL acquisitions?

RB should not under any circumstances be the pick. And certainly not a RB like McFadden who played in a spread offense, goes down easily upon first contact, has fumbling problems, and does appear to have the size or running style to be an every down NFL RB.

 

As someone pointed out (can't remember who), if an OG is valued high enough that teams will commit $40+ million to them (Hutchinson, Faneca, Davis), then I don't think it's crazy to invest a high pick on one if you think he will be a Hutchinson/Faneca level guard in the NFL.
