Former Jets Spotlight: Justin Miller

dont worry he's working out with the other justin, mr mccareins and they are training hard so once a team needs a corner that cant cover or a reciever that cant catch they will be back

 

JMO opinion no one picking up Justin Miller because he has a bad case of turf toe. Those type of injuries tend to last all year. IF Miller dosen't have his speed than what good is he when he can only be a returner.

 

hes done..............

 

I really had high hopes for him, was m favourite corner coming out of that draft, turns out that draft was overall prett bad

 

Wolfe...you're right 2005's draft really turned out alot of busts.

IMO, only really good players in Rd #1...DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, Jammal Brown & Heath Miller (on the Jet's radarbefore the Doug Jolley deal)

The CB group was highly regarded at that time......PacMan, Carlos Rogers, Fabian Washington, Miller, the late Darrent Williams, Stanford Routt....a disappointing group.

Ronald Bartell.....was one of my favorites from a small school.

Kerry Rhodes was a good pick up in rd 4.

The Giants got the steal of the draft with Justin Tuck.

 

I went back to look and compared to the other years around it, it didn't give alot of depth, many players are in bit roles, definately the worst year so far in the 2000s

 

WW85 is correct except Rogers is not a bad CB and Washington is pretty good.

 

I think the 2005 draft may be one of the best the Giants have ever had. They only had 4 picks that year (due to the Eli trade) and those were a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. They drafted Corey Webster in the 2nd, Tuck in the 3rd, and Jacobs in the 4th. Their 5th round selection (Eric Moore) was injured.

Webster is now a top 5 (arguably top 3) C. He lead all DBs in pass deflections last year, though he was surpassed by Polamalu in the postseason, and is off to a good start thusfar as I'm pretty sure Santana Moss went home and cried after last Sunday's game.

Tuck is, I think, the best player on the Giants' defense. His versatility on the DL is a HUGE asset and his speed and power are excellent. I truly think he is going to be the "new" Strahan for these Giant teams.

Jacobs is a leader on offense and sets the table for the rest of the unit. His attitude is exactly what you want in a bruising halfback and he takes players under his wing off the field.

That's a pretty damn good draft, especially when you consider they only had 3 picks.

 

No he's not.

 

3 of the best pass rusher's in the NFL came out in that draft, Rhodes, Jacobs, Ronnie Brown, Braylon Edwards, Corey Webster, Marion Barber, Frank Gore, Jammal Brown, Roddy White, and Miller.

After that the 2005 draft is shit.



We got:

Nugent (bust)
Miller (bust)
Rhodes (gem)

eh

 

I still believe Rogers hasn't fully lived up to be deserving of his 9th selection in rd 1. Carlos Rogers did blowout his knee in 2007, so you can give him somewhat of a pass. Most Redskin fans like Rogers, but believe he isn't that shutdown corner that was expected. Good player, not great.

Let's put it another way......who would you rather have on your team..Revis or Rogers?

 

Even though its just 1 year, I think Aaron Rodgers deserves or will prove to deserve to be apart of the really good of this class.

 

that year was a big high risk high reward type draft. There was alot physically gifted players in the first round (alex smith, edwards, merriman, ware, washington, pacman... etc) only a few turned out to be good football players. when they went in the first round it pushed true football players (Jacobs, tuck, rhodes...etc) into the later rounds.

 

:rofl:

thanks for the sig.

 

Anyone cut by Oakland should count themselves lucky. Not that Justin Miller blew chunks or anything.

 

Miller was a good player. I think he as heavily underused.
