Yahoo Mock draft 3.0

Not me. I'd take Spencer.

 

If it was between Spencer and Olsen than it would be a harder pick. If the JETS don't pick up a TE like McMichael in free agency I can see them taking Olsen. However, I just have a strong feeling the JETS will take Anthony Spencer with the 25th pcik.

 

"As they initially indicated an interest in acquiring the services of Adalius Thomas, the pass rusher comes before the run stuffer. "


HUH????? Because they went after Thomas, it means they want a pass rusher over a run stuffer.....

Yeh, good thinking.... But, perhaps if a Big Run Stuffer was available and a top FA on the market, the Jets would have gone after him as well.. Just perhaps.

 

If the Jets take Olsen or Bowe when Spencer and Ross are sitting there, I'll be pretty pissed, I'm not gonna lie. Moreso with Olsen because I think Baker's good enough and I could see Bowe if they're not too confident with Coles' future prospects.

Spencer and Ross offer equal or better value on the board at that point and fill positions of need. It's a no brainer for me.

 

In terms of just "value", Olsen might be the better pick than the afore mentioned. The draft is a lot deeper w/ DEs (especially undersized ones projected as 3-4 OLBs) and CBs than it is w/ TEs. After Olsen and Miller, there's a significant drop off. The same can not be said about the DEs. After the likes of Gaines, Moss and Spencer, you still have in no particular order Moses, Woodley, Abiamiri, Crowder, Johnson, Moore, Smith and more. Though not as deep as the DEs, you can still find some quality CBs in the 2nd & 3rd rounds (i.e, Wright, Jackson, Irons, Brown and Bennett). That being said I would be hard pressed to pass on Ross given the dynamic threat he is as a cover CB and punt returner.

 

Might not be a bad pick up but first round? I have to question that IMO.

In 47 games at Purdue, Spencer started 36 times. He registered 155 tackles (106 solos) with two fumble recoveries, 13 pass deflections and a blocked kick. He ranks fifth in school history with 21 sacks for minus-147 yards and finished seventh on the Purdue career-record chart with 44 stops for losses totaling 241 yards. His 11 forced fumbles rank second in school history.


ANALYSIS
Positives: Has a developing frame with good upper-body muscle tone, tight waist and hips, good bubble, thick arms and room to add at least another 10 pounds of bulk with no loss in quickness … Has outstanding straight-line quickness, moving with an explosive burst coming off the edge … Has the quick change-of-direction agility to work down the line and his speed and range dropping back in pass coverage could see him develop into a 3-4 outside linebacker (best when having a free lane to pressure the pocket rather than bull rushing inside as a down lineman) … Really improved his ball recognition skills in 2006 and is no longer fooled by misdirection … With his better recognition skills, he vastly improved his backside pursuit skills, evident by the 21 third-down stops and five fourth-down tackles he executed in 2006 … Has the upper-body strength to consistently get leverage coming off the snap … Gets instant penetration as a pass rusher, showing proper hand technique, combined with an array of rip-and-swim moves to explosively close on the quarterback … Shows the hand delivery and punch-out ability coming off the ball, guarding his legs vs. the chop block while maintaining the angle to close on the ball … Has his best production when he beats the offensive tackle with his quickness and has the lateral range to slip in-line … Contributes on the move and has the speed needed to chase long distances and make plays along the perimeter … Relentless in his straight-ahead charge to the ball … Has that rare speed to catch plays from behind … Locks out well, delivering a powerful hand swipe to get blockers off-balance … Has improved his anchor vs. the double team (still a work in progress) … His improved hand placement in 2006 saw him no longer struggle vs. face-up blockers … Has the lateral agility to flatten down the line of scrimmage and get outside … Has the athletic agility to fit in space, using his long arms to wrap and secure … Has the functional strength to get a push on the bull rush … Shows the speed and body control to get up field and shows a good feel to work back to the ball … Will play through pain, evident by his 15-tackle performance vs. Notre Dame in 2006 despite playing with a hyper-extended knee.

Negatives: Plays with good functional strength, but relies on his speed too much … Lacks the size to gain leverage vs. double teams … When he fails to use his hands to fend off blocks, he gets covered up by offensive tackles defending the run, as he generally will lose containment … Needs to add more lower-body strength, as he lacks the leg drive to split or play off the combo blocks … Sometimes gets a little reckless in his pursuit and this results in him getting taken out of the play … When he fails to keep his pads down, he tends to lead with his shoulder before making the hit, rather than extending and securing with his arms … Lacks the ideal size to run over offensive tackles and will get engulfed and struggle to disengage when the opponent gets into his chest … Has good backpedal skills, but is a bit stiff in his hips trying to turn … Lack of size could see him as a better fit for a 3-4 alignment as a linebacker (has the speed to make plays in front of him) … Will play through pain, but missed action in several games with nagging leg cramps in 2006.

Compares To: Shaun Phillips, San Diego -- Both players were developed in the Joe Tiller system at Purdue to attack the quarterback with quickness … Both lack the ideal size you look for in a defensive end, but Phillips proved that he was capable of competing in a stand-up position … Spencer was a better prospect than Phillips coming out of college … If used in a similar system, Spencer will have just as much success in the pro ranks that Phillips has shown.


INJURY REPORT
2003: Suffered torn ligaments in his foot (third and fourth metatarsal) in April camp, and the injury prevented him from seeing action in the team's first three games.

2005: Suffered a hamstring strain in August camp … Played with the flu vs. Miami, Ohio (Sept. 9) … Suffered a hyper-extended knee vs. Notre Dame (Sept. 30) … Sprained his right foot vs. Wisconsin (Oct. 21) and wore a boot to protect the injury, missing the entire week of practice leading up to the Iowa contest … Left the Penn State (Oct. 28) and Michigan State (Nov. 4) games with leg cramps.

 

I'd rather CB Darrelle Revis or Aaron Ross... Especially Darrelle Revis though.

 

Yep. I like Revis alot.

ANALYSIS
Positives: Has a muscular physique with a defined upper body, good trapezoid and pectoral development, tight waist and hips, good bubble, strong thighs, knotted calves and minimal body fat … Has exceptional body control and adequate open field quickness … Smart player who thinks well on his feet and can handle different assignments, making him more that capable to digest a complicated playbook … Instinctive athlete who makes quick reads and compensates for a lack of blazing speed with good timing and a feel to make plays on the ball in flight (eight interceptions, 25 pass deflections in 35 games) … Runs with a normal stride and has the flexibility, along with good size to be effective playing off coverage or in the press, showing tight coverage in both … Can play the trail, cover or give a cushion … Can flip and burst in the deep secondary, as it is rare to see him separate from the receiver for too long once he locks on … Can play off the ball, but due to his lack of explosive speed, he is more effective in press coverage … Alert and aware playing in the zone and shows good timing when breaking on the ball … Has solid ball reactions and leaping ability to get to the pass at its high point … Has enough range to cover up for his mistakes, looking faster in his stride when he keeps his pads down … Not one to give much cushion, as he prefers to run step-for-step with the receiver … Closes on the receiver in a hurry and knows how to use his long arms to reach around and deflect the pass out of the opponent's hands … Has exceptional body control on his leaps, getting good elevation … His hands appear soft and natural, as he can pluck the ball outside of his frame … Not afraid to come up and hit in run support (63 percent of his plays were made in run support in 2006) … Explosive hitter who will square up and put his helmet under the receiver's chin … Shows good hip rotation and change of direction agility to mirror on underneath routes … Stays in position on his press technique and is active with his hands to prevent the receiver from pushing off … Has excellent timing, getting a good break on three-step throws … Does a good job of fielding punts and waiting for his blocks to develop, showing the loose hips to redirect to the cutback lanes.

Negatives: Can turn and run well, but will get a little sloppy and erect in his backpedal … Lacks the blazing speed to stay tight on the receiver in deep routes, but has a good burst to close and recover (likes to play tight, as he realizes he doesn't have the second gear needed when giving up a big cushion) … Has soft hands, but will sometimes try to run with the ball on punt returns before securing it, resulting in costly fumbles … Physical tackler in the open, but on occasion he will take a side … Will come up hard in run support, but needs to be more active with his hands, as he doesn't protect his body well in a crowd, resulting in his sometimes getting washed out on the play … Good press coverage defender and alert in the zone, but will hesitate at times when having to switch off on assignments … Needs to stay lower in his pads when backpedaling (gets too erect), but does show control coming out of his breaks … Would be even more effective as a run support player if he would wrap rather than body tackle (needs to face up with better consistency, as ball carriers can slip off some of his hits) … Is generally a decent punt returner, but the coaching staff complained that he was doing too much tap dancing and running horizontally in 2006.

Compares To: Alan Zemaitis, Tampa Bay … Revis might not have the blazing speed to handle the quicker NFL receivers on deep routes, but has the hard-hitting ability to play in the nickel package … He could be more effective as a safety due to his range and natural hands … He also reminds a bit of Charles Woodson (Green Bay) for his ability to make plays in run support … His ability to play either cornerback position will see him gain a lot of playing time in the base defense as a rookie.
