    Easily Brian Calhoun.

    With the talent at OL in this draft, we'll either pick up D'Brickashaw Ferguson or use the first-second rounder acquired for John Abraham to address our needs for a OT before we even get to our 36th overall pick. Calhoun is a back, that if he stayed his senior season, would be a top 10 pick, IMO. His speed and vision is right up there with the best, and I think once he runs a 4.3 in the combine that people will start noticing him.

    He has great hands and unlike some other RB's in this draft, has been able to carry the load. Wisconsin has a good OL, that's a given, but Calhoun does have that 2nd gear that star RB's have. I just love the kid and think that splitting carries with Curtis next season would do him so well. A future star, IMO.

    Shouldnt this probably be in NFL Draft forum?

    I'm in love with Earnie Sims and C Griffin. But this is for the Jets. I like Addai but no many seem to agree. Colledge would be a good fit here, easily in the 2nd and very safe pick. Probably the most under rated tackle.

    I would look at D-Line like Rodrique Wright, Kamerion Wimbley and Claude Wroten. One name at OLB is Thomas Howard from UTEP. Keeps impressing people, but I still don't think he'll be a 1st rounder. Find guys to fit the 3-4.

    I know tons of people have been saying it, but I've been saying it for a year: Greg Eslinger. There have been suggestions he didn't fit in Dinger's O, but we ain't got Dinger no mo.

    I think Marcus Vick could be a good late round pick. I now he has serious problems with his behavior, but I still think he could be a good football player.And after all the stuff he did in College, he probably will be a late pick.

    The NFL doesn't need the Quarterback version of Mark Chmura. (Child Molester)

    Thomas Howard is incredibly small for a linebacker. He'd make a good safety though, like Michael Boulware did moving from OLB to S

    Either Max Jean-Gilles or Marcus McNeill need to be taken in the second round, especially if we can't get D'Brick.

    I also wouldn't mind a kid named Brandon Hoyte from my HS.... he's a LB that was defensive captain last year at ND and if you watched the ND games you probably saw a lot of him. He's undersized and not very quick but he's got a really strong heart and love for the game and he'd be a well-used 7th round pick. At worst he should be a rock solid special teams player.
