Jets Picks: 4: Cutler 29: DeAngelo Williams 35: Demetrius Williams 71: Chris Gocong 97: David Pittman
Yeah, I can't say I'd be too happy if the Jets settled for Cutler at #4. Maybe if they trade down abit, he'd be a solid pick. Also, what's with DeAngelo Williams? Why has his stock been plummeting lately? I thought he would've been targeted around the middle of the first round...
I think his size hurt him a little, but I don't think he'll fall as far as some are predicting. It would be great if he was available at 29, but I just don't see it happening.
All these mock drafts do is look at teams immediate needs and throw a player there. they don't look at each team and how they draft. You really can't draft for need, because if the guy is a bust then you have a problem. The Jets will have a draft board and they may have guys who should be third round picks in their top 15 because of character and work ethic among other things. Keep in mind that most of these mock drafts are done by people who have never worked for an nfl team and there is a reason for that. If they really knew that much they would be working for a team.
I'd be happy with the first round, but I'm not a fan of the last 3 picks. No first day O-lineman? IMO, #29 or #35 has to address the O-line (assuming we don't take Ferguson at #4).
I don't even think he will be a good third down back. In order to be a REALLY good 3rd down back you need to be able to catch (which he can do) and block...I am not so sure he will ever be a good enough back to stay on the field all three downs. His size is a problem, but if he really works at it, he probably could become ok... There is no doubting his potential as a runner though...
