    From what I have seen, he is a downhill runner with speed and can run hard. He would be a great playmaker on this offense. Do you think we could take him in the 2nd?

    if we draft chance warmack in the first then yea im all for that shit.

    but you also gotta get some WRs so defenses don't just load the box against gio. hes not big enough for that shit

    I think we got the WRs, Warmack and Bernard / S. Taylor would be two excellent picks. Still would need a line-backer

    He's a 2nd round pick. That doesn't mean somebody won't overdraft him but he's just about right on the 42.

    Gio. He may well get drafted higher by a team over-prioritizing the running back position but he really should be a high to mid 2nd. Ray Rice territory.

    One of my favorite prospects. Would love him in the 2nd or even a big trade back into the mid to late 20's picking up an extra 2nd and 3rd.

    Unless you think he can be an elite NFL back, no way. Have far greater needs especially if we retain Greene

    Our Pick 40 in Rd 2, I'd draft Gio in a heartbeat.

    Greene is not the answer as an all down back on this team. He barely scratched 1000 yards this season with less than a 4 yard per carry average. We need someone more explosive.

    Lets pray he's there and doesnt have a Doug Martin like rise! If he makes it out of round 1, I might be willing to give up a 4th in order to get him...

    I don't think Greene will be back, he's a FA.

    Jake Matthews and Gio Bernard would be 2 huge additions in the 1st 2 rounds.

    I think the Jets may be running a 4-3 next year, and may not need that OLB too early in the draft......if you get my drift.....also Davis could move outside in a 4-3.

    i remember someone posting that austin howard was rated pretty highly as a run blocker, is that true or what?

    if not, im totally down for jake mathews. i just dont know if austin howards shittiness is overstated

    Would love Gio in round 2. Definitely someone I'd consider.

    Bottom line: this draft needs to have a couple offensive players. A tight end, a running back, a receiver, a quarterback, a guard, a tackle, these are all options. We need to go BPA out of those positions in this draft.

    Bernard is an exciting prospect who can probably return punts, too.

    You're are right, Howard is a good run blocker, he lacks lateral movement and should move to guard. Howard doesn't have the ability to handle outside pass rushers.

    I would love that as a 1-2 punch in the draft... It would do this offense wonders.

    Also would like the idea of moving to a 4-3. What do you think the lineup would be?
