ras i dowling. he has the skill and if we could turn him into something off of the pats scrap heap that would be a little sweeter
i think people think kyle wilson is a lot worse than he actually is i didn't vote for him because i want to keep him in the slot
I voted for Patterson, because I'd rather see the Jets use their top two picks on offensive players. However, if they are determined to draft a CB high this year I'd want Gilbert if they could still get one of Matthews or Adams in the 2nd. If not, and they could grab Fuller in the 2nd, then I'd rather get the WR (Cooks, Lee or Beckham) in the first and get Fuller in the 2nd.
Or the Jets drafting another CB in the first round...ever. Ryan will have to make do with the garbage Idzik has given him and if either of them are still around next year maybe they can get another CB in FA like they should have done this year.
From the tape I've watched on Gilbert, he is not an ideal fit for Rex's scheme. He played almost exclusively off man coverage and took a lot of chances, relying too heavily on his athleticism. His combine numbers are causing him to be a bit over rated in my opinion. I am very high on Dennard, but as I look at the board I have a hard time seeing him slip past PIT, he's their type of guy. I am also very high on Beckham, based on the tape I've watched I'd take him over Lee or Cooks.
The great thing is that the guy who starts opposite Milliner is going to be the guy who won the competition.
Picked Dennard but I've got serious doubts he can last till #18. Otherwise, I'd go with Dimitri Patterson who is a solid starting corner with a big injury history. Last time the Jets rolled the dice like this, they got a healthy season from Laron Landry. I like Kyle Wilson but also believe he should be left in the slot. He's plays it very solid and CB#3 sees the field a lot in today's NFL.
He will also be toast by mid season unless we get a a proven cb or one of Idzick's retreads comes through.
Surprised at the number of people picking Dennard. I would be stunned if we pick a corner in the first round. We had a pretty good defense overalll last year and we had two of the worst corners in the entire NFL. Cromartie was 106 out of 110 by PFF and milliner was horrible most of the yr. Milliner should be better and Patterson I think will surprise, even walls would be better that what cromartie was last yr.
