    Dwayne Wright would be a good pick up. He's first round talent that'll probably still be there in the 3rd or 4th round. Only question is his prior knee surguries.

    He doesn't really stand out to me as a good OLB option. I know he's a good passrusher, but I don't think his athleticism is the kind that would allow him to play in space. I'd prefer Timmons of the two if we were looking for 34 OLBs. I think Johnson's future is as a 43 end. Maybe though, he could bulk up a little and play 34 end.

    There is still a ton of time to declare.

    Oh God greg olsen...... Theres a guy you hear about his talent all the time. I just hope he's not another head case of a TE, they seem to grow on trees down there.

    It's tough to say. He's a phenomenal talent as a receiving TE, but has a lot to learn blocking and also needs to be constantly motivated. I attribute much of his inability to really reach that next level to the horrible QB play he's suffered through, he's still got that tremendous potential. I figure he'll go somewhere in the 2nd round, like 35-45, but could go higher with great workouts or if Zach Miller doesn't declare.

    Greg Olsen is just a sick talent, but sure has had his fair share of ups and downs here in Miami.

    I mean, you won't find more potential out of a pass catching TE in this draft, so surely he'll be a 2nd rounder or so. We have Chris Baker and I can't see Mangini getting such a question mark so early on at a position we just aren't in a huge need for.

    Am I the only one who thinks we need a big TE or WR?

    Someday, but not now. Our passing game has been sufficiently effective this season.

    No i think we need an upgrade at te still and a big wr and maybe even another speed/burner type wr, there is always room to get better cause realistictly talent wise we are not that good.

    Nesquik, I don't think that signing a big TE or WR is out of the question, but in the first two rounds?

    Doesn't seem like Mangini'd do it.

    You never know, if Jarrett falls to us in the first round, it would be hard to believe that he wouldn't be by far the best available player. Similarly if Olsen or Miller or a decent TE falls in the second round you have to get them no matter if it is a prime need or not.

    I concede your point that it isn't a pressing need but since none of us really know how the draft will shape up at this point, we need to keep an open mind to who may or may not be the best players available.

    Naw he probably wont but if players like Lynch,Okeye and Woodley are chosen i would like us to go that route.

    There definitely is not a need at 1st or 2nd WR. Brad Smith will be ready to be the 3 guy. Maybe a WR late in the draft to replace J-Mac if he's cut. But I think J-Mac is good enough to be a 4.

    As for a TE, I like Baker a lot but, given Mangini's background, I think he would like to use more 2 TE sets. So another TE would be a good idea if the Jets can get a good one. Or maybe a pass catching FB.
