Jets to Work Out Vernon Gholston on Monday In the wake of his Pro Day, Ohio.com is reporting that Vernon Gholston will be working out for the Jets, and the Dolphins come Monday. On Friday, Ohio State held their Pro Day and it appears that DE/OLB prospect Vernon Gholston bettered his Combine numbers slightly, marking a 42 inch vertical and a 4.58 40 yard dash time. Gholston said of his 40 time that he slowed slightly on the back half because of a slight hamstring injury, but wanted to better his 4.6 number he put up at the Combine.
If we don't trade down and he's there, I hope the Jets take him. Is he the next Mike Mamula? Gholston was already projected in the top 10 before the combine, plus he schooled another top 3 player in Jake Long, so I say he is no Mamula - ie. Workout warrior.
Mamula was a late round pick with a huge combine which propelled him into the top 10.. Gholston was already there at #8 best player this year... now hes the 4th best and he's probably not gunna be our pick. Oakland will probably pick him.
trade down draft a CB bc Mangini wants to play more man coverage.. and we need to get abig target WR to complement Crotchery and add depth bc Coles cant put enough food on the table with his salary... ..drafting a ILB would be good but we can keep Hobson and have him compete with Barton for the ILB position ...Ellis sucked lately and he makes alot of $$$$ draft a young DE that can play in a 34 to replce him if he has another down year....we also need to trade DROB ...even though we wont get much, whatever we can get i hope its conditional for next year and we get a better pick bc DROB is going to be good
