I suppose, if a good speed-burner WR could be had on Day Two at a steal, it makes sense to get one, but bear in mind a deep-threat guy is not going to contribute much next season if Chad is still behind center. You still need a QB who can get the ball out there to him. So yeah, if Clemens is eventually the man, then bringing a guy in this year to groom him for '08 might make some sense, but I still say we could probably still do without (and maybe should do without) and use the pick for other needed positions. I know this may sound unpopular, but for all practical purposes (and especially if Penny is the QB), we COULD start the '07 season with exactly the same WR roster we have now, including Justin McCareins and Tim Dwight for B/U.
The free agent WR class is very mediocore and a ton of teams have $20+ million in cap room. If you are going to go with a veteran at the 3rd WR spot, you might as well keep McCareins. I don't think you can get a better option for the same or less amount of money.
I would love to keep McCareins if he would take a paycut or restructure his contract.......maybe he comes into camp determined to win back his job (We could hope, right?)
This guys a geniuis. Everyone listen to him. If Jarrett fell to our first pick, we would need to take him because there would be no way he isn't the best player available.
Exactly, even if the WR is an irresistible BAP. BAP works better if you've already got a well-rounded team and can afford the luxury of drafting solely BAP. With us, I think Tanny is focused on the rebuild they started in April and I wouldn't want them to stray from that, not even for a BAP. I'd rather go after beefing the lines and a corner and a RB. We only have 6 picks, so how much can we really do? We've got to make them all count.
i agree with this notion. however, the draft depends a lot on Free Agency. for example, if we sign Banta-Cain, that makes the need for an OLB less of a priority. say Lamarr Woodley is sitting there; since we already would have Banta-Cain, we wouldn't need Woodley as badly (although, I'd still want him). the same goes for any other position of need filled via Free Agency. cheers
I'm more in the BAP camp! But i think you have to modify it a bit to fit your system! meaning that if the BAP (as judged by the experts) is a LB suited for the 4 - 3 and not the 3-4 than he is not the BAP for the Jets!
I think you can always get a VERY GOOD receiver or RB in the 3rd or 4th round. I will be shocked if the Jets don't go DL, OLB, DB (not necessarily in that order) in the 1st and 2nd rounds.
Amazing that at 29 years, Laveranues Coles' age has become a concern...... You have to be kidding me. Recievers can remain effective WELL into their 30's. For example: Rod Smith, Marvin Harrison, Jimmy Smith, Keyshawn, TO, Isaac Bruce, Joey Galloway, the list goes on.... Coles is our #1 reciever, and will be for a while. We found a solid #2 in Cotchery this year, and hopefully we plan to use Brad Smith a hell of a lot more next year as a #3. McCareins should be terminated, so maybe we should draft a wideout somewhere in rounds 4-6 or so.
THere is talent all the way back to the 38th ranked reciever, we can get a reciever virtually...whenever the fuck we want to....
Dude why do you have to ruin all this mental masturbation with reality. Let these guys ..............well never mind.
Under these conditions: - We sign a starting caliber CB in free agency - We get some offensive line depth in free agency - Cotchery and Hobson are locked up to long term extensions - There is a solution to the RB problem - We get a quality NT somehow. - Then we can take a WR with our second 2nd round pick if its some kind of major steal. Hell even then I may not be happy with a WR. Oh well.
In the draft you have to go BAP unless you drafted 2 Wr's in the top 10 or a QB at #1 overall pick the year before. We can go any position(thank god there are no BAP's at K and P wooops wrong regime I had a Bradway moment) the only position we might not go BAP is QB....but how high are they on Clemens BAP always wins over drafting by position look at the Bears they drafted all defense and half of their rookies started games(some due to injuries) but look at all the top teams they do BAP. Most teams have copied. if RB is the BAP we will take whoever that RB is Fb? I dont think they have Leonard or anyone rnd one(god bring back Roger Vick memories) Wr: if the BAP is a WR we will take him remember it takes 3 yrs for a WR to develop, Coles is 29 and his contract is ugly for 08 and 09... Cotch has 1 yr left.... TE: is there a true 1st rnd pick anyone sees right now? If there is we might take a TE and Baker's deal is really a 2-3 yr deal RT definitely G not many are drafted in 1st rnd I dont see it C we might pass unless we can move to guard but like I said not many guards are drafted in first rnd(unless its a G/C) DE definite DT definite OLB definite ILB definite (Barton's contract is starting to get ugly and Vilma does he fit? lets try another yr for Vilma but Barton could be a goner after this season) CB definite S Coleman is a FA at the end of the year and he isnt that great so we can do that 1st rnd We can go any position rnd 1 and look at 1st rnd picks last yr or any year not many start year 1. Its not about plugging in its about talent. And we havent hit FA yet remember that comes before the draft though I dont see us doing shit in FA
If you're looking for an extreme example of an effective yet aged WR, look no further than Jerry Rice at 40 years of age.
We don't have a real deep threat at WR, but with CP, we don't need a deep threat, we need guys that can get yards after the catch. Coles and Cotchery are good at YAC, and Brad Smith will get more work at WR. I think this is something we address in free agency or late rounds of the draft.
