    what safety(ies) would you like the Jets to draft and in what round?

    I think we should wait till the 3-5 rounds to take a safety. that could leave the following:

    Tony Jefferson
    Robert Lester
    TJ McDonald
    Phillip Thomas
    Shamarko Thomas


    I would love Jefferson in rounds 4 or 5. he's a 2-3 round value guy but had a terrible showing at the combine.

    of course there's always the possible drafting of Kenny Vacarro if we manage to trade Revis to TB.

    I wouldn't draft two safeties, because I think we have two young capable guys in Allen and Bush. maybe sign D. Landry or Pollard for a veteran presence.

    Jonathan Cyprien, Phillip Thomas or Matt Elam

    DJ Swearinger is a nice sleeper imo. Hard hitting safety. Phillip Thomas is also a solid option.

    I'd kill for Phillip Thomas and Bernard Pollard to be our starting safeties

    If we grab Pollard or Landry 2.0 then I would prefer a coverage S to complete the tandem

    I still like Rambo. He always seems to be making big plays and would be a good value at our third, don't see him lasting to the 4th though

    I'd like to use the 2nd rounder on Matt Elam or Jonathan Cyprien. Then in round 5 & later consider double dipping at safety.

    Rambo in the 3rd. Eric Reid would be a nice pick but I'm not down with using a 2nd round pick on a safety.

    We need a ball-hawk.

    I don't know much about College Football, but from the videos I've seen Phillip Thomas looks like he can be that player.

    We also signed a safety to a future contract at the end of the season. Jaiquawn Jarrett, or however you spell his name. I was looking at some highlights of his yesterday and I was pretty impressed. The kids got skills. He was a second round pick so you know he's got to have to some talent. My question is, how do these future contracts work? Is he a Jet for sure?

    I like Swearinger a lot. Good balance of run and pass defense. Fewer holes than a lot of the other guys. Probably my 4th safety after Elam, Vaccaro, and Cyprien. Third round probably. JMO.

    Definitely Bacarri Rambo in the third round and/or even his teammate Shawn Williams.

    Your assuming Elam is still around then, I see him going at the end of round one.
