Initial Draft Outlook

If he’s available. We need more playmakers, Tate could be a great slot guy. Mel Kiper has the Jets taking Tate in his latest mock. In the later rounds, need to add another corner and another pass rusher.

…because it is my alma mater, however, I STRONGLY believe our first focus should be WR and not a pass rusher. I have no qualms about the football ideology of using the run to set up the pass… in fact I play Madden football that way. Still, our game is incredibly one dimensional and the Colts capitalized on that. If you look at how we got beat in the second half, it wasn’t only Manning’s demigod abilities at QB, The Colts running game was incredibly effective, taking away many 3rd and long opportunities on which the Jets are known for capitalizing. That kept our defense guessing for 30 minutes and they guessed wrong.

A Jets passing attack makes us a more complete team. Cotchery is our workhorse. Edwards is an excellent deep threat who will only get better with more reps with Sanchez. I think we need to pick up an outstanding slot receiver to pick up the underneath routes and overcome blitzes, like a Wes Welker or even an Austin Collie. Between that WR and Keller, Sanchez will have two options for the short passes he’s already very comfortable with, Cotchery working the middle routes and Edwards as the deep threat, it opens up our playbook. Remember, we picked up Favre to open the playbook and our running game in ways Pennington couldn’t, and we wound up taking a step backwards playcalling-wise in our ground-and-pound/safe passing scheme. A threat in the passing game will lead to staggering numbers for Shonn Greene and Leon Washington.

I wouldn’t put a safety on my draft board. If we decided we need one I would go FA route.

yes jared odrick DE is a good choice,need another cornerback(,shipley is too small,fragile,injury prone…go with brandon aghee 6’0,195lbs,runs 4.40..or cedric butler,6’0,190,runs 4.35…..DONT FORGET RB WASHINGTON…is looking for a new contract,he is worth it,but we cant afford it,salary cap casulty(maybe) could get a 2nd or 3rd round for him,clemmons qb…maybe a 7th round for him,let him hook up with ex-qb coach from college,..gholston lb..see if he has any value,..ohio loves him…so maybe clevelend/cicinnatti

he runs 4.25 in the 40,……..also retirements looming…..OT wiley, richardson FB

defensive line is elderly..pouha nt is the youngest at 30

pennigton QB coming back to jets…..as back up/coach for sanchez and conelly qb

will cost alot of money guys,I love him,but can we really pay rb quality $$$ for him,and he is coming off a broken leg,at age 28 next season?

About how far they went this season. Would’ve been great to get to the big stage, but losing to Indy in their dome is nothing to be embarrassed about. Us older guys know those seasons, and this one was a real success.

Important to take lessons learned approach from the post-season, what worked and what didn’t and to improve from there. With the draft aproaching, Green needs to focus on what was glaring in yesterday’s game. Another corner and/or safety, a running back to complement Shonne Greene and a slot receiver to complement the development of Sanchez. Of course, all of this assumes availability. Some youth on the D-line would be great also.

Regarding Lito, one thing that Rex tells you is why you’re benched. Then it’s up to you to either improve or find more suitable surroundings. A $10 million roster bonus for him should be out of the question, cap or no cap. If no one is available and he comes down to earth, then it can be re-visited.

But again, great season!

nyc kid…holiday wr runs 4.25 5;6 175lbs has wayne chrebet hands,and burning speed,he can punt return and be a slor reciever

I think we need a pass rushing OLB since in a 3-4 D thats where the pass rush comes from. That should be our 1st priority. Than Corner & or Saftey

think you can almost always pick up quality receivers throughout the draft. Concentrate on D in the first couple rounds.

Getting a DE would help the secondary. Getting a natural pass rusher would allow Rex to get pressure on the QB without sending people up to blitz. That way you can keep people back in coverage.

for tanny ,but hes got a couple a months to figure out how to fill our 3 most glaring holes.

If its possible to sign peppers, seymour, or dumerville i say we get 1 of them and use our draft picks to fill the wide reciever and cornerback problem. I also can see us trading down to aquire more picks if Tanny sees who he wants.

But we also need to release people to get the amount of money to sign seymour. I say we let clemens, jones, lito, and drew coleman go (if we can).

Use the money to get 1st choice dumerville, then peppers and then seymour.

Draft Golden Tate and A cornerback with our 1st 2 picks

5th round- Punter
6th round- QB
7th round-OLine

means DBs are not a priority (obviously that changes if we lose 2 starters in the offseason). the secondary was good all year, except against manning. i know its the last game so its on our minds, but they should focus on their pass rush which didn’t really do too much without blitzers. a natural pass rusher would make this defense very very difficult to contend with.
