Would have to be available that would make you feel good about going defense in the first round. Personally If some how Mack slipped or if Pryor was there I couldn't complain about those picks. WR is deep there will be talent in rounds 2 and 3
Probably Clinton-Dix or one of the top LBs. I don't think we have a large need for any other position on defense unless they want to get Cromartie's replacement in the higher rounds. I'd be pretty disgruntled with another CB. I'm completely disregarding the possibility of drafting another DE, unless Clowney falls down to the Jets because he smacked his grandma around or something of the sort.
Another CB sure but a free safety is different. When was the last time the Jets addressed that position and put it to rest (same could be said about WR). I think Pyror would help this defense tremendously. Big physical safety that can play the run and the pass.
You're right, I completely forgot about the safety position. Hopefully they get someone for FS so they can put Allen at SS for good and not have him out of position.
IF we address WR in free agency, and in the 2nd round then I would be happy with Kony Ealy or Dee Ford
Dee Ford Piano Man, CJ Mosley, Anthony Barr Only thing that gets to me about Calvin Pryor is he looks like he'll be flagged for a lot of penalties for hits..it's his style but he is fierce and would probably be worth taking
Ealy, Barr, Mack or Pryor. -Mosley was rumored to be a high injury risk due to a prior knee injury -Ford has a herniated disc issue - Clinton Dix is extremely overrated & isnt the coverage safety this team needs
I agree but I think He's a Rex guy and he could get the most out of his aggressiveness. Also if you ever get a chance to watch his tape he always seems to be around the ball when it's thrown. I think they'll cut down the big plays over the top with him at 18
Mack, Clowney, Barr, Ealy and Ford. In that order. For anyone who said Ha-ha Clinton Dix ---- you're out of your mind (for the reason that KurtTheJetsFan specified).
I'm a huge Kony Ealy fan. As much as I like him, I doubt the Jets would draft another Front 7 defensive player. Mack & Barr are my 2 favorite defensive players in this draft, they're going to be long gone at #18.
Yeah at this stage its safe to assume the jets pick at 18 is anyones guess. I have a funny feeling they may go OL.It was clear as day that geno performed much better when he had a clean windshield.I also think both Rex & Idzik believe in winning up front.Depending on who is available its a philosophy thatd make some sense. As for Ealy...edge rusher has been a long time need.We'd easily have the biggest & longest edge defenders in the nfl
Just because this is a deep draft for WRs doesn't automatically mean the Jets will get a chance to draft that talent in the 2nd or 3rd round. With the way the WRs are performing at the Combine and with projections I'm seeing, 5-6 WRs could go in the top 20 or so picks. If you read the scouting reports on some of those lower-rated WRs, they don't sound so great. I'd sure hate for the Jets to miss out on adding a top WR talent in this draft because they thought, well we can always get one later there are so many in the draft. I'd be perfectly happy if their first two draft picks were WRs. For me to be happy with the Jets drafting a defensive player at #18 it would have to be one of Barr, Mack, Ford or Mosley. For me to be ok with it and not gripe, if not one of the four just mentioned, it would have to be Ealy, Gilbert or Pryor. I don't think there's another single defensive player that I wouldn't wind up being really pissed about at #18. If none of their top WRs, TEs, OTs, or the D players I mentioned aren't there, then I hope they can trade down.
