    CUTS
    Gilchrist
    Harris
    Trade/cute Sheldon

    RESIGN
    Wesley Johnson

    FA signings

    Tony Jefferson
    AJ Bouye
    Morris Claiborne/ DJ Haden / Marcus cooper any of these
    Glennon

    DRAFT 1st round - Ruben Foster
    2nd OL

    Defense
    DL : Will Williams Mclendon
    LB : Mauldin , Foster , Lee , Jenkins
    CB : Bouye Claiborne Skrine Burris
    S: Pryor Jefferson

    QB : Glennon
    Rb : Forte / Powell
    WR : Decker Enuwa Smith Anderson Peake
    TE : Jake Butt (3rd round )
    Ol : LT (someone) , winters, Wesley Johnson , carpenter , Shell

    Cap may be tight squeeze but on 1 or 2 contracts if we load the second year in salary should be able to fit . 2018 only people I see us needing to resign is Enuwa and maybe Pryor

    All players signed are below the age of 28 I believe
    Team would be nice and young . May not get us to the playoffs this year but look at that defense for years to come then in 2018 truly focus on offensive weapons

    Nice effort. I like some things, but like other things much less, and there's some things with which I flat out disagree.

    I agree with cutting Gilchrist and trading Richardson. Harris I have mixed thoughts about. I was ready to get rid of him a couple of years ago, but he's still playing at pretty high level and doesn't miss games. In addition, he helped mentor Lee last year and could help mentor his replacement if the Jets draft a young ILB this year. I'd hope that they could bring him back at a reduced price. If they cut him, I won't be upset however.

    They need to re-sign more than Wesley Johnson. They absolutely HAVE to re-sign Ijalana. He may wind up starting. Hopefully not, but we need him as depth. I'd also bring back Marcus Williams, Josh Martin, Corey Lemonier, Brandon Bostick, and maybe Antonio Allen.

    IMO they HAVE to sign a FA LT. Preferably it would be Beachum, Whitworth or Reiff.

    Initially, I wanted to sign Tony Jefferson, but I was confused and thought he was a FS. Unless we're trading Pryor, we have no use for Jefferson. I'd rather sign Bradley McDougald. If the Jets sign an expensive CB, I'd rather it be Bouye, but I'd rather they sign 2 2nd tier, cheaper CBs than one very expensive one and another cheaper CB.

    I'd also look to sign a FA OG, maybe 2 and possibly a C.

    If they sign a FA QB, I guess Glennon may be the best choice, but it would be hard for me to get excited about adding him. I do expect them to sign a FA QB, and would rather it be him than one who would be more expensive, but I wouldn't pay him a lot of money.

    I would be very happy with Foster at #6, but would be equally happy with Adams, Hooker, or Fournette, and maybe even Howard or Mahomes, but think I'd rather trade down to get one of the latter two.

    If they can get Ramczyk or Bolles in the 2nd rd., I'd be very happy, but wouldn't use the 2nd round pick on any other OL. I'd take an OLB, CB (if I didn't sign Bouye), FS (if I didn't sign McDougald or take Hooker), RB, TE (if someone was there that I liked better than Butts), ILB, or maybe even a WR.

    Butts is a pretty good prospect, so I'd be happy with him, but think the Jets either need to sign a FA TE or keep Bostick. Just ASJ and Butts wouldn't be enough.

    With my 2nd 3rd round pick, and the 5th - 7th round picks, I'd look to take a C (if I didn't sign one in FA), upgrade OL depth (if I didn't sign a FA OG or two), and upgrade STs. I might even take Gonzalez, K in the 6th round.

    On the DL, I assume you mean Mo, Williams and McLendon, rather than "Will", Williams and McLendon.

    Two RBs aren't enough, especially with their ages. I would definitely take a RB somewhere between the 2nd and 7th rounds, even though they have Romar Morris. They need a starting "workhorse" type RB as I don't think either Forte or Powell can do that. Preferably that guy has power and speed and is at least a capable receiver.
