What position will the Jets draft in 1st, not who u want.

[DennyCrane]

What position will the Jets draft in the first round, but
not who you want them to.

I think it will be a WR. They may even package the 1st and 2nd
which according to articles i have read the value chart brings
them up to a 10th pick. I think Ryan is finished with the defense
and will look at the offense in the early rounds.

Remember not who you want them to pick.

It's tough to call. I think it will be the best player available at 17 on the Jets draft chart. But trust me, if the Jets move up in the draft from 17- it is only to grab a QB. Otherwise it will be foolish.

It is indeed a very tough call. When Rex Ryan was in Baltimore they typically picked defensive players and made that defense what it is today. If the Jets do not move I believe they will either pull the trigger on Percy Harvin or take the best defensive player available in particular a corner like Vontae Davis or a versatile DB such as Malcolm Jenkis who would be a great value pick. The knock on drafting Harvin is he would be a huge special team guy and I don't know if he could be a #2 reciever. Heyward-Bey is a combine warrior with not so hot stats to back him up, so I do not think Rex Ryan would be pulling for him over one of those two DB's I just mentioned. Also, the Jets seem to be interested a Running Back to compliment Thomas Jones and eventually suceed him (such as a Beenie Wells, Knownshen Moreno or LaSean McCoy). I think that Ryan's defensive mind will take one of those DB's if they are available, maybe think about taking a Meauluga(kind of like a Ray Lewis + Ed Hartwell combo they had going), Cushing or Everette Brown if availble and then possibly take a offensive weapon. I do not think the Jets are sold on the offensive talent they will see in the middle of the first round. Thats pretty much my estimate for their thinking in the 1st round. J E T S -MC

[The Green Titan]

The Jets are not going to move up in the draft for a wide receiver that's an unknown. Do you know that the biggest risk reward is in the top 10. In the top 10 of the 2006 draft, 6 were busts. There was only 9 total busts in the top 32 picks (I use 2006 as a year because it said in the data that I was reading that it takes 3 years to analyze the effectiveness of a draftee).

Anyhow, I'm convinced that the Jets are going to go with the QB's we have. So, either a wide receiver seeing as how they are no longer interested in Miles Austin or a tight end.

I want a wide receiver. But I think they will go with Pettigrew if he is available at 17. So TE is my pick.

I will be so mad if they pick Pettigrew at 17. But in the spirit of the thread, any reasoning why you think that is the way they go? Is that truly a need?

[The Green Titan]

I'm not from Oklahoma, but I've lived here for a couple of years. There's no NFL team to watch unless you're in to Dallas or Kansas (vomit). So I have been able to watch Pettigrew for his entire college career and he is an excellent TE, very versatile. He can block as well as he can catch and catch as well as any receiver in the short pass area. He has the sort of size that will create a lot of mismatches.

When Ryan talks about receivers he always talks about Clowney. Whether we think it or not, Ryan seems to think he has a dangerous receiver in Clowney. Does this mean that they'll dismiss the ability to pick up another receiver in the draft. No, but they won't move up for one either.

What's most important to Ryan - an offense that doesn't turn the ball over (he has said this specifically). A rookie deep threat receiver and a rookie QB are not like bread and butter. They are more like salt and ice cream. The offense that we ran last year will be very similar to the one we run this year, the exception being that Leon will be more involved. So we run more. But we can't just run it, and we don't have the weapons to unleash it down the field. So we'll run and short pass most of the game. A TE that can provide a security blanket for the rookie QB is more effective than a deep threat receiver.

The short passing game works. We proved that last year. We put more points on the board than any other year bar one. It was our defense that lost the game, specifically our secondary. Does our defense look better now. It does on paper. Let's see how it does on the field.

I've said this every time. I won't be upset with a wide receiver but my gut tells me TE,and I won't be upset with that either. And this is the only year I can remember where I'm okay with a TE.

Another gut feeling: The Jets are going to unload a player to get another draft pick. Don't know who yet but it might be our trick play WR. Man I hope they stop running those plays :-)

[mc33855p]

Very well put. But why draft him when you have Keller? I know your answer will be blocking but we have 3 other TE's on the roster and I guarantee one of them is specifically there for blocking. Also, towards the end of the season I remember it being a lot more with "Broadway" Brett turning the ball over a lot. Schottenheimer has to also change his scheme a lot next year due to exactly what you said a young QB and young WR does not mix. Ryan is gonna want Schottenheimer to run it down teams throat and eat up clock. What I have also been hearing in reference to you talking about a deal is that for example they are only looking for a 2nd round pick for Chad Johnson. What you think about giving up a 2nd round pick for one of the big names out there like Chad Johnson, Braylon Edwards or maybe even Anquan Boldin? What would you think if it was a 1st round pick for any of those three?

[frogstomp]

Why would we go DB? It makes less sense than TE... we have two pro bowl >30 corners. Then we have a rookie coming off of a solid first year. Doesn't make sense to go corner.

I think Ryan talking about Clowney is just talking about him as another weapon. Show me one place where he makes a remark saying like he thinks Clowney is a 1 or a 2.

I would put my money on WR, but with the draft, you never know who will fall.

As for DHB being a workout warrior without the stats to back him up, how can you say that and then come back and say we draft Harvin? DHB has more collegiate receiving yards and the same amount of TD receptions while playing on a much worse offense... I mean, if you want to make the argument that we wouldn't go with DHB because of his stats, Harvin makes even less sense. You're arguing against yourself.

If Maclin falls we'll take him. If he doesn't, I'm going to say DHB.

No, I mean, I have actually seen very FEW statements about Clowney, and that was just Rex making generic quotes. Nothing to make it seem like we actually thought he would start.

I would like to see all of these times where Rex has been talking about Clowney.

So, in other words, you'll bring up something in an argument to support your own side, and when someone is generally interested in it, you won't post it?

It's not an insult to say I'm not a fan of yours or that I don't enjoy discussions with you. That's just a fact. Not everyone has to like you. I wouldn't take it personally. Sorry if that offends you but it's not my intention. I'm sure there are people on here that don't like me. I'm okay with that :-)

Ha, joke. I may get into arguments randomly, but that's because I simply state what I think. I'm not two faced, nor do I try getting involved in arguments that I am not a part of.

As for you not liking me, I've know that for a while, and been indifferent. I was just pointing out that there are much classier ways to moderate.

But I'm done with this little aside. If you don't want to show these secret Clowney notes you have, which I was asking about since I was interested in reading about what Rex had to say on our players, then don't. But why bring them up to support your argument, then?

Hm...

[The Green Titan]

And it's not that I don't want to show you the comments it's that I can't. I'm sure i could find one or two but they are comments that I've heard on tv shows or on hundreds of sites that I use to get information on the web. I also get a lot of my information from Erik Boland. He writes about the Jets and I have the opportunity to pick his brain from time to time. I got the Clowney rap sheat from him more recently.

Like I said, I don't appreciate your style. There are a lot of people on here who enjoy your participation and that should be good enough for you. As for my moderating skills, well there's about 1654 members and you're the only one that's ever complained about me, so I'm not worried.

I'm not here to get as many cool kid followers as I can. In fact, I'm sure most people here dislike me, because I've probably argued with one of them at one point or another.

Actually Percy Harvin had 17 touchdowns and about 1300 all purpose yards so your right... Also, DB would make a lot of sense than you think. Malcolm Jennings specifically because of his versatility and what they could do with him playing both corner and safety(learn that good ol' Rex defense from Leonhard). DHB is fast as lightning do not get me wrong, but BUST potential. You know I do keep forgetting we have Lito Shepard, But I still think that a DB like Jenkins would be better than Pettigrew. What I mean with Harvin also by the way is if Maclin and Crabtree are off the board which they will, who is the next best reciever? I would like to think Harvin over DHB. And just looked up DHB's stats, you should look them over again because Harvin had more total TD's this year alone missing some games than DHB had in his career. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=169167 - Actually I did the work for you check it out.

When I'm drafting a receiver, I'm not looking at their rushing TD's.

They both had 13 career receiving TD's. And Harvin is in a MUCH better offense, with a much better quarterback.

JFMS (Jet Fan Misery Syndrome) is a mental disorder which randomly affects people but it is prominent in the New York and New Jersey areas.
Once the syndrome develops fully the victim will feel an unnatural desire to put themselves through misery and dissapointment until either they die or the ancient curse of Namath is broken.

Legend has it that one man will defy all odds and take the Jets to a SuperBowl victory and only when this has been achieved will the curse be broken. They call this man the Messiah or Head Coach - we know him simply as Rex Ryan...

but (i dont where i'm getting this from) Ryan cannot complete this quest alone, fate has landed him with the perfect companion on this quest into the unknown, this young man - Brett Ratliff - is the key to Rex's success and the cure to JFMS...

Guys, you can draft, trade and acquire all the defense that you want. However, if you have no offense (one that can actually score points), I don't give a how GOOD your defense is, you WILL NOT win games!

[Otannenbaum]

There was a tale that was told to me long ago. This whole tale was a “crossroads” type of story that involved a Super Bowl III QB and an individual by the name of Lou Cypher.

It seems that the two parties entered into contract whereby the QB would receive fame and fortune and the second party would obtain something inanimate that rhymes with the word “toll”. Now the rub to all of this is that the team that the QB was on would NEVER win another trophy until the second party collected on his end of the bargain.

Now, this could be the musing of a disgruntled Giants fan or the ranting of a Patriot fanatic. However, the way that it was presented to me had all the trimmings of some sort of maniacal validity to it.

Has anyone else been privy to this Tale from the Crypt?

2. We will not draft a high priced WR without having a known entity at QB.
3. We will not draft yet another TE (YATE) in the 1st round.
4. We have the fewest draft picks in the division and will try to pick up more.

It's easy to say we trade down, but someone actually needs to want our pick for us to do it. It depends who is still available at that point. If Sanchez is, it would be easy to trade down. If Sanchez, Maclin, Raji, and all the special players are gone, who will even want to trade up?

Trading down is something that is tough to actually predict until the draft has started, as two teams are required for it to actually work.

Meanwhile, Ryan praised WR David Clowney, saying, "He was impressive today. Everybody knows about the great speed. I like his confidence. He loves to compete. He runs good routes. I'm excited about him."

Ok... getting bad to the topic
I think we should draft a WR. Reports have said that Clemens is doing a great job as a QB and can be our man, but look at our recieving corps... Cotchery is a good #2 and i guess he could be our #1 but then stuckey, smith, clowney... I mean look at Kurt Warner, he was barely making it in the NFL but then they set him up with some great recievers (boldin, fitzgerald, breaston) and at him now. A QB can't do it all by himself, someone has to be on the other side of the field to catch the ball and the recievers we have now just arent good enough. I mean it's possible that clowney, smith... are actually incredible but i mean what are the chances of that.

You have my deep respect for bringing this thing back on topic! I nominate you for poster of the week. Since I'm the only voting, you automatically win!

You make a great point. We are missing that one receiver that makes the rest better. Keyshawn and Chrebet complimented each other well, despite the fact that neither had great speed. JC will be our #1 for better or worse. Unless we trade for a Boldin type guy, or draft, we are going to have to hope that Clowney, or Stuckey rise to the type. we also have a guy named Marcus Henry that the previous regime was very high on. I don't think he has seen any playing time though. Will be an interesting week leading up to the draft.

I think that we need to shore up our front lines a little more though, because lets face it ellis is not young, Coleman isnt good, and Jenkins can't really play every down every game. Faneca and Woody aren't young either. In my opinion the offense doesnt have much, and outside of the top 10, there isn't alot of offensive power off the board (even if we get a great receiver, no one with alot of experience will be throwing to him.) So I think we should take what we can for the defense and work through the draft next year, trades, and free agency.
