if we draft these two young gamebreakers, then our offense will be taking a step in the right direction.. not only are these 2 big time players, it will allow our offense to finally have superstar potential at skill positions.. please let this happen FO..
apparently the FO wants to give chad a chance (unlike myself). and i dont see them taking cutler because there are too many questions about him to spend the 4th overall on him. if we do end up with the 4 and 9 and trade down from the 4 and get williams and davis i will be happy as shit. because regardless of what anyone says RB and TE are two very big concerns for us. we do have several backs on the roster already, but williams is a beast and can be our guy for years to come. and davis is a freak of nature who can very well be the next gate/tg (as much as i like chris baker, he has never played a full season and is coming off a bad injury) then we can get two lineman in rounds 2-3 (hopefully we will have 2 second rounders because of the trade down) that would be a dream draft for me (or hold onto the 4 and get hawk )
I like those two picks but I would rather do a defense then offense wid both picks. I would like 2 see Super Mario to replace Abe this guy is being called the next Peppers his size, strenght, n speed is crazy he is prolly the best Defensive player in the draft wid Hawk very close by I really like Hawk also if somehow Mario is off da board. And Williams to replace Cmart eventually or asap. I think QB should be looked at either in the later rounds I really like Omar Jacobs or next yr we pick one up in the draft u cant rebuild every position wid a great pick n I rather have Quinn truthfully than any QB in this draft jus my opinion and you can always find a serviceable QB in the league but its hard to do that with other important positions.
I watched a highlight reel of Davis and his ability had me drooling. IMO D. Williams has the potential to be the next Marshall Faulk/L. Thomlinson. These two guys could make our offense very dangerous in the years to come. I wouldn't be upset if we stayed at 4 and grabbed Mario Williams or A.J. Hawk (those are probably the only two guys I would take at that spot). There's also a rumor that we may try to move up to grab Cutler. Not sure how I feel about that (especially since Pennington will apparently be back). As much as I want Pennington to come back stronger than ever and lead the Jets to glory, the realist in me says it's just not possible. He's had two surgery's on an already weak arm. I think it's safe to say the chips are stacked against the guy. While I'm not completely sold on Cutler (and would prefer that we DIDN'T move up to grab him) I won't say placing our future in his hands would neccesarily be a bad move. One thing that intrigues me about this guy is his ability to squeeze the ball into tight spots. That's something we as Jets fans haven't seen a QB do in a Loooooong time.
But with no O-line... we need to build a strong O-line then add pieces around that. A good/great offensive line will make the the entire offense look good, reguardless of who you have at the skill positions.
We obviously need to build an o-line. But grabbing Williams and Davis at 9-10 (if somehow we had those picks) wouldn't be bad by any means. Then you address the O-line from the second round on (and in free agency). If we stayed at 4 (or moved up), O-liine is not the way to go IMO.
I think at four we gotta get D'Brick. He can sure up the blind side for years to come. And there is no way he will fall after san fran. I agree with vernon or deangelo at 9 (IF WE GET IT!) but i think O-Line is a big need.
I do think D'Brick is a great talent, but we've got a very capable left tackle in Adrian Jones. Why upgrade that position when we have so many other needs? Also, this draft is so deep with O-linemen, we can afford to address the situation after the first round.
By your logic, why draft RB, when we have Houston, Blaylock, and Martin? Why draft TE when we can resign Baker and have Jolley and Dreesen on the roster? All of these players are "capable" at their positions, but you think it is necessary to upgrade with Williams and Davis. Upgrading the LT postition is MUCH more important. He protects the QB's blindside and allows him to throw the ball to your TE or handoff to your RB. If not he is flat on his bad or gets injured like last year. Jones showed me nothing last year that proves he can be a starter. He is good for depth. I don't want a "capable" LT protecting the QB when a stud LT is on the table. Gotta go Brick with the 4th. Then trade down with the 9th into the 15-20 range and take Mangold.
I see your point. If we did take D'brick, I wouldn't bang my head against a wall or anything. I just think Adrian Jones did a pretty decent job last season. Personally, I think the draft is deep enough with O-linemen that we can address it later, and draft a couple of playmakers early on. You've got more of a chance with putting together a capable O-line in the later rounds then you do of nabbing a top flight tight end and/or Halfback.
outstanding post.I agree 100%. As for the original poster,singling out individual players for a team to draft 9 times out of 10 will lead to immense dissapointment.
the chargers are an offensively EXPLOSIVE team because they have ladanian tomlinson and antonio gates.. their receivers suck, mccardell, parker, and caldwell.. their o-line is only average, no one is special.. their QB last year brees is decent but looks much better because of LT and Gates.. why not draft 2 game breakers this year to fit the same mold as the team that stopped the colts from reaching a perfect season?? williams is a shifty back with moves on top of moves like LT and davis is a freakish athlete that CANNOT be covered by anyone.. even pennington will look good by throwing it to williams and davis, much like brees does with LT and Gates.. in addition to starting to build our team offensively, our defense is already better than the chargers defense.. not to mention our coaching staff's philosophy will make sure our defense is one of the best in the leagues... we would have pennington who is like brees, williams who can become our homerun back, davis who will dominate like gates, our WRs which are better than SDs WRs, and build our o-line to be better than SD's with the 2nd and subsequent round picks.. not to mention free agency with ashworth, shaffer, bentley up for bidding.. what do u guys think.. i think we should develop this team into an explosive team offensively with a very solid defense.. this will at least put us in the right step for a dominating franchise...
No no no no no. Johny Mitchell, Kyle Brady, Anthony Becht, Doug Jolley...enough with the first round TE's for the Jets, haven't you guys learned anything? We have so many other needs, for crissakes, stop!
umm, hey buddy.. do any of the TEs u listed have even an ounce of potential and freakishly athletic nature that davis has?? to just list a bunch of crappy tes that arent even top 20 statistically each year and say no is just a waste of a post man.. please use some common sense and when responding to my idea, actually take into consideration why i posted it.. bc of the blueprint the chargers's offense has shown.. a homerun RB, and an unstoppable TE..
So, you're saying we should overlook Davis' potential because other tight ends we've taken in the first round haven't panned out?
