Bad move. We can still get Kindle tomorrow if Tanny pulls off the right trade. If we took Kindle, K-Dub would have been gone by 32.
I think Tannenbaum and Rex want to focus on reloading the front seven. The Jets can handle guard and right tackle later on in the draft. The 3-4 front seven prospects are too numerous and talented for Rex and Tannenbaum to pass up here.
Vikings called him minutes before the Jets pulled the trigger. Honestly Kindle is a great prospect and would've done great things with our DEF but Wilson being there still at 29 was a no-brainer. The only reason the Jets took soo long to submit the pick was because they were listening to trade offers for their spot and realized none of them were as good as Wilson.
Exactly. Our FO has had a hard-on for Wilson since January. They (and we) had to ecstatic to see him still sitting there at 29.
I was down at the draft party, I took a video with my phone when the Jets were about to pick, people are waiting getting anxious, they call Kyle Wilson, no boos, no cheers, just silence. People were looking around like wtf? Well there were still cheers but not what I expected!
Hard on is when you trade up to get a player or hand in your card as soon as you are on the clock. Waiting until the very last second to hand in your card means that he was they guy the highest guy on their board and the guy they decided they would go with if they couldn't trade down.
They tried to get some extra picks because of the Claussen situation and decided it wasn't worth it. Why not take full advantage of the time allotted on the clock?
:rofl:That's one of my favorite sigs, no doubt. It's unbelievably true. I also love Sunday Jack's sig, with the quote about Dennis Byrd from Green Hornet. I laugh every time I see a post from him.
Not bitching but I'm also not going to exaggerate either. Saying they had a hard on for kinds of dilutes the expression. I would classify Revis, Shon Greene, David Harris and Mark Sanchez as guys they had hard on for. Guys they aggresively went after. K-Dub I'm sure they liked but was not a must have as reflected by the fact that they were attempting to trade down. Just putting things in it's proper perspective.
It would be nice if you could spell his name right. Clinkscales and Bradway had to spend all night trying to talk Tannenbaum into trading up for Greene at the top of the 3rd last year. Does that sound like the whole organization had a hard on for him? Do you think that it was possible that Rex liked the Wilson pick from day one while Tannenbaum was ore focused on value for a while until Rex talked him into the pick? And why bother having a semantic argument over how much the FO liked a prospect. We got him in the first round. That's exactly how much the team liked him. Do you really need to try and quantify this?
Maybe I get a hard on easier than you, sorry for my "choice" of words. If you look at the Jets main forum, and I posted this before that thread started, Wilson was the guy they wanted from the beginning. They finally have a good enough roster where they don't have to reach for a certain type of player. They, like everybody else in the sane world figured, didn't think he'd be sitting there at 29. Maybe not a hard on, ok, I guess a semi? I don't know...
Even a blind squirrel... So long as Al is still in charge of the Raiders, there will never be an end to the madness. They won't become a stable franchise until Al's brother wrests control from his cold, already-dead hands.
Why bother post to a message board at 1:00 Am in the morning? Why bother pointing out someone misspelled a player's name? Why bother worrying about spelling when others are so anxious to do it for you? I just thought the comment was overstating a bit how much the FO wanted Kyle Wilson. If you or the poster disagree, then you disagree; I was just expressing an opinion. And feel free to corrrect any spelling and/or grammatical errors you may find in this post. Thanks in advance!
