Why not throw an offer at Buffalo's Mike Gilleslee? Averaged almost 6 yards a carry with 9 TDs last year...he's an RFA that would only cost a 5th round pick. Then you don't have to worry about RB with Powell, Gilleslee and Forte next season. Buffalo doesn't have any money to match and it wouldn't take that much to land him.

He's a stout RB with big play ability

I don't want to spend a pick on a 26 year old RB when we already have 2 RBs and aren't winning anything this year.

How about TE John Phillips?
More of a blocker, but we need that, and he'd be cheap.

The Jets have signed Quinton Patton. He sounds like good competition/depth. I think I saw somewhere that he's a pretty STs player as well, but could be mistaken.

From an article at ganggreennation.com and Patton's draft p:

STRENGTHS
Good size for the position, has the height and length to play outside at the next level. Very good acceleration off the line, gets to full speed in a couple of steps and can shimmy to free himself and stick his foot in the ground to get inside position on slants. Uses a head fake to get the seam and possesses enough straight-line speed to take advantage of hesitating cornerbacks in off coverage. Fluid, economic mover who does plays under control. Stems to separate with good foot quickness on comebacks and out routes, also extends his arm to create space on short and deep routes. Natural hands catcher - catches the ball with his hands away from his body, even when tracking passes over either shoulder. Wins jump balls in the end zone and over the middle with good vertical and great concentration. Acrobatic and excellent at adjusting to the ball in the air, especially to the back-shoulder on fades. Good sideline awareness to get two feet in-bounds while making the catch. Used on quick throws to take advantage of his shiftiness and surprisingly tough running, lowers his shoulder and is not easy for smaller cornerbacks to drag down after the catch. Sells routes where he knows he's not the primary target to free up the underneath or cross-field receiver. Shows fight as a run blocker, willing to hit multiple punches to keep his man at bay and works himself into the correct blocking angle. Hustles downfield to help out fellow ballcarriers. Plays with a feisty attitude.
