I want one of the top WR's soo bad. Especially Benn. Just think about that offense. Easily the youngest, most explosive, O in the league.
Theyre not really old either. But yes they will need upgrades in the coming years. Sanchez, Leon, Greene, Cotchery, Clowney, (Benn), Keller.. :up:
Don't make shit up - back around November or December of 2008, I said Marko Mitchell would go higher than the 5th IF he ran a great 40 time. His time was only a middle of the pack time...so he slid. I made a mistake a half a year before the draft - I should kill myself. In your final joke of a mock draft, linked here: http://forums.theganggreen.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=1210008 -- you have the Jets trading for a garbage tight end to move down in the first and select, guess who: Jarron Gilbert ...yea, you were "right there" after he fell to the third. You're a joke. I had Sean Smith going in the 3rd...he was just one of my favorite prospects and I think he deserved to be a first round pick, just like Jarron Gilbert. I believe both of them will be very good players in this league. I'll quote myself here: The GM on Ziggy Hood: Didn't he go seventeen picks before pick 49? ...and he was drafted by arguably the best 3-4 team in the NFL. The GM on Emanuel Cook and Bear Pascoe: Where did Bear Pascoe get drafted again? Oh yea, the middle of the 6th round. Emanuel Cook wasn't even drafted. I was high on both of these guys, but I'd knew they would slide, but that's the difference between you and me: you try to force feed everyone with bullshit. You overrate certain players to the extreme - see Lee Robinson (undrafted) and Rashad Jennings (7th rounder). You're now doing the same exact thing with Keiland Williams and the 2009 college football season hasn't even fucking started yet. The little bit of credibility you once had is now gone...FOREVER:
Don't lie yourself. You constantly said that there was no way Smith or Gilbert would be there at our 2nd round pick. Also, back in that time area when I said Cook was a late round safety at best, you said if he declared early he would be a 1st or 2nd round pick. Spot on.
Cmon ladies, you're both pretty. It's pointless to look that far back about draft mistakes, everyone makes a ton errors about prospects early in the process, and they all look more and more terrible the further you get away from the incident. It just so happens that in THIS particular incident, GM is making the asinine claim that Keiland Williams has more talent than than Charles Scott. Williams might be faster or more athletic than Scott, but that does not mean he has more potential or is more talented than Scott. I don't know what raiderjeaux was telling you, but a lot more goes into being a running back than athleticism. Williams had every chance to win the starting job at the start of the year, but it was Scott that carried them. As for being a sleeper prospect, well if that's true than you can say that every top recruit that doesn't become a star in college football is going to be a big time sleeper.
I can tell myself prospects will rise and fall - you can't. Almost every single player you mention on here is a demi-god on the football field and they stay that way for months and months.
1a) Eric Berry, Tennessee (JR) 1b) Taylor Mays, USC (SR) _________________________ 2) Morgan Burnett, Georgia Tech (JR) 3) Major Wright, Florida (JR) 4) Chad Jones, LSU (JR) 5) Myron Lewis, Vanderbilt (SR) 6) Earl Thomas, Texas (r. SO) 7) Deunta Williams, UNC (JR) 8) Justin Woodall, Alabama (SR) 9) Nate Allen, USF (SR) 10) Kam Chancellor, VT (SR) other considerable names are Davonte Shannon, Buffalo (JR), Jordan Lake, Baylor (SR), Quinton Andrews, WVU (SR), Robert Vaughn, UConn (SR), and Antonio Baker, Louisiana Tech (SR) The safety class has the potential to be unbelievably stacked, but that would require a ton of underclassmen declarations to happen. If no underclassmen declare early, then it would really just be an above average-good safety draft with the only real playmakers in the 1st round as Mays and Lewis. If no juniors/redshirt sophomores declare for the 2010 draft, then it will be 2011 that is stacked to the brim with talent. The positions that are loaded with senior talent are DT, LB, and OT.
The Jets are going to have to bomb this season to get either Mays or Berry; both are exceptional talents at the safety position.
Oh I know - they'll also have to be around 4-12 or 5-11 to land a receiver like Benn. Honestly, I don't believe the Jets will go after a safety. Kerry Rhodes is here to stay and Jim Leonhard and UDFA Emanuel Cook look like good options next to him. I'm not saying we shouldn't take Mays or Berry if we are in a position to get either of them. I want Carlos Dunlap for this team, but he has a great chance of going #1 overall.
Based on talent alone Benn is a top pick, but looking at team needs and the rest of the draft I think it's possible we can have a good year and still get him. The teams that will likely need a WR: Rams, Ravens, Dolphins, Jacksonville, Bears, Buccaneers, and Seahawks. If the Seahawks, Jaguars, and Rams are in the top of the draft it is because they had a terrible season and will likely be looking for a new QB. The Ravens, Dolphins, Bucs and Bears are all threats to take a WR in the 1st round, but the Bucs will likely be going defense. It depends on where we are in the draft in relation to the Ravens, Dolphins, and Bears, and Dez Bryant could also be the first WR off the board if he declares. Or we can do what we have a penchant for doing which is trading up to get our guy, which would be a playmaking WR. Fact is it is certainly possible that we have a good season and still get a playmaking WR like Benn or Bryant in the 2010 draft if they declare for it.
When you say "we", are you talking about the Jets or the Falcons? ...because for some ungodly reason, you're a fan of two different NFL teams. Sometimes it's hard for me to tell which team you're talking about.
Clearly I am talking about the Jets, the Falcons have no history of trading up in the 1st round outside of the Michael Vick. The Jets have done it year in and year out as of late under Tannenbaum. In 2006 we traded up for Kellen Clemens. In 2007 we traded up for Darrelle Revis and David Harris. In 2008 we traded up for Dustin Keller. In 2009 we traded up for Mark Sanchez and Shonn Greene. You know full well what team I was talking about, there was no point in even making a post and it was a failed attempt at trying to take a shot at me. Waste of space in yet another contributed by you.
