    Jets needed home run hitters. This guy does that. Welcome aboard!

    Fuck, a Buckeye. But man we're looking good. Get a QB in later rounds.

    Deep threat was a big need. Very happy.

    We need speed in the worst way, this guy is similar to Torrey Smith where he is a deep threat but has work to do when fighting for route yards on 3rd and short.

    I love this pick personally, he is an antidote to something we need and that is speed. We ave a lot of big boys like Amaro, Marshall and Decker but we need speed. Kerley will be the checkdown/5-7 yard converter, Amaro/Decker/Marshall will play for 10+ yards and now we have a guy for the big plays.

    Ray Lucas said this is the guy they wanted last night and he nailed it. I don't know what's not to like. The guy at the end of the season was a stud.

    Seems like a deep threat, though only 6'0. I'm worried that he doesn't have much experience in terms of number of catches, etc. (Same issue I had with Hill). But this guy is definitely a football player and not just an athlete.

    He has swagger and has hands. He's going to be a pain for CBs when he masters the route running.

    If the Jets get Cardale next year somewhere oh boy.....just something to think about maybe,.

    Glad we went with him over Strong. Would've preferred DGB but I understand the concerns with him.

    A deep threat with good hands is something we were missing. Hope he's better than that last WR we drafted in the 2nd round.

    1st down converters and guys who will have the size advantage against most defenders.

    Haven't all of you figured out that their is a major issue with Gregory? Francesa said today that it was basically out of the question the Jets taking him unless real late.

    Who cares? We got a perfect fit for our offense, one of the biggest needs: speed.

    Makes me forget any second thoughts I had on passing up on White.

    A deep burner who can stretch defenses and strong on ST's too. Nice pick! Good size too at about 6'1 200.
