I agree completely and I am a firm believer that you have to build your team from the trench out, on both sides of the ball. I think that we absolutely have to overhaul the OL in the offseason and structure it for the future. I would really love for the Jets to trade back in order to aquire some of the top talent in the bottom half/early second of this draft in the OL. I like a lot of players in this offensive line draft class. If we take care of the offensive line, I think that it will allow any running back to be productive. Which is why a lot of teams in the league are able to plug and play with their running back rotation.
Oh very much so. He's a complete back that would be good in just about any scheme. That said I have a very hard time seeing us drafting a back before the third and if he is still around then, great. I see him being in the mix for late second early third status and our cream puff schedule from here out should have him gone by our third pick.
I think if we trade down, it's an absolute possibility in the 2nd / early 3rd round. Jets and trading down don't mix though. I would love for him to be a Jet though. Can run, catch and pass-protect
I agree with this. If we trade down and grab an extra second/early 3rd, I'd be down. Assuming we don't, however, I'd be kinda upset if we took a RB with our sole second round pick. I want OL/OLB addressed with the first two picks (at the moment, I want Warmack/Thomas), and with our remaining schedule, I don't think Taylor will be there in the mid-late 3rd.
Joe Schad @schadjoe South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore will enter the NFL Draft; official announcement planned for this week. Joe Schad @schadjoe Marcus Lattimore's recovery from torn ACL and LCL is on track and he is off of crutches; feels rehabbing with NFL doctors best path back Joe Schad @schadjoe Marcus Lattimore has consulted w other backs who bounced back from knee injuries such as Willis McGahee, Frank Gore and Eddie George Joe Schad @schadjoe Marcus Lattimore understands he may not be able to play next season but has a goal of jogging and catching passes for NFL execs in March
I dont think he will declare, and obviously I'm an LSU guy, but I think Spencer Ware is very underrated. Overall, Ware is an underrated athlete. He has good vision, hits the hole hard and can just run over anyone. Ware has good agility for a bigger back and he has good hands for a running back.
