finish the offseason strong

The Jets' remaining offseason plan should be simple. I know everybody here hates the guy, but Brandon Marshall has unbelievable talent. Can the Jets draft somebody better than Marshall, absolutely. Is it likely that they will, negative. Marshall has showed potential to go out and make specatacular plays and change a game. That is with brandon stokley on the other side...could you imagine what Marshall could produce with Braylon and Cotchery on the other side, Keller in the middle, and LT in the flats? Not only would they have the best Defense in football, the best running tandem in football, but they would have SCARY passing game. Give up the 29th pick for Marshall. Leon is leaving which will leave the Jets with two 2nd rounders. Draft TOBY GERHART, and another defensive stud, either mount CODY or a nice de/lb pass rusher. Our offense would consist of a running game with Shonn Greene, LT, and Toby. Sanchez can air it out to Marshall Edwards jCotch Keller and LT. AND our Revis lead Defense will still deadly, everyone needs to remember that we had the #1 ranked defense last season, WITHOUT Kris Jenkins. Now with Pouha and Kris sharing time, hopefully Kris can stay healthy.

I agree with trying to get Marshall, but I have a hard time giving up that pick, especially if we can't unload Leon for a 2nd.

I would trade Leon and J-Co for Marshall and a 3rd.
Seems pretty even since J-Co isnt far of a drop-off from Marshall. He did have 800+ yards receiveing last year with a rookie QB who was (lets face it) horrible for most of the year and in a predominantly run-oriented system. And Leon has 2nd round value.

That way we still have our 1st and 2nd pick, and we pick up a third. We could go defense with our first to picks; then grab Shipley/Decker in the third; get a good back in the 4th (e.g. Blount); then BAP the last three picks.

We could book our Superbowl trip if we field that team.

I believe the Jets will get Marshall

Rex is a defensive minded coach and knows just how good he is, he can take probably any D player in the draft that has the will to play and turn them into an nfl starter. On the other hand he isn’t as well versed in training up offensive players just yet, seeing as he spent his whole career on the other side of line of scrimmage til getting head coach. So i think he will try to bring in proven offensive players he feels comfortable with knowing that he can build defense thru the draft. Marshall is an incredible talent and a gamebreaker, why risk a high pick on a receiver that can flop, when you can trade for Marshall and draft a D player and turn him into a stud.
