2012 New York Jets (in my point of view)

No comments on my first post???

A disclaimer. Everything I said is what I picked up from other posts on here, and my personal opinions. Everybody will think that we should do something different, but t his is what I think of this. Also, people just won’t post right away all the time, give them some time to.

I like the first round pick of course, I’m just hoping that he will still be there.

Second. Mark Baron will definitely not be avaiable to us in the second round, he’ll be off the board by then. I would presume that the Jets pick a Wide Receiver with this pick, get a good one. There is a glut this year and they will be going off the board quickly by the second, so might as well draft one here. On the other hand, as others and myself are high on drafting Trent Richardson in the first, either draft a RB here like LaMichael James, or if we end up going a different direction altogether in the first, get our OLB here.

Free agency, I don’t think we are in the running for Hillis, I’d rather draft a good RB for a cheaper price tag.
Either pick Edwards or Plax, I don’t think both are going to co-exist as they both wear the same number. I’d go with a chance for Edwards.

Third round, I could see us going for the offensive line. Either that or flip flop this with the second pick. If a good safety is available, go after him here, but probably not.

Fourth Round. We aren’t drafting a quarterback at all this year. Sanchez is our franchise. We need a mentor for him through free agency, and we have a good McElroy as a backup.

Fifth. Go after a safety here, a running back, OT, or Line backer.

Sixth, definitely go after an OL man here if we haven’t already. Otherwise a safety if we didn’t draft one, or defensive line depth.

Seventh, just cover anything else we need.

A disclaimer. Everything I said is what I picked up from other posts on here, and my personal opinions. Everybody will think that we should do something different, but this is what I think of this.

I’ll get it started.

First, your draft choices:

I would be ok with Upshaw, but there are other OLBs I prefer more because they are faster than Upshaw. The important thing imo is that the OLB/pass rush situation needs to be addressed in the first round.

I like that you addressed the positions of need, but am not wild about all of your choices and some I know nothing about.

At S, Barron is a good choice, but I prefer Markelle Martin. I like his play a lot and I think he is faster than Barron. Also, Barron is a SS and Martin a FS. FS is the bigger need. The Jets have to get a S who can cover TEs and RBs over the middle. That is an absolute must.

I don’t know anything about Mosely, but he must be pretty good. That said, I think WR another S or double-dipping at OLB is more important than an OT at this point. I’d prefer to wait and take an OT in either the 4th or 5th round.

Unlike many Jets fans, I wouldn’t have a problem with the Jets taking another QB in the draft this year. Weeden is 28, but is big, has a good, accurate arm and could be good competition for Sanchez and McElroy. I’d prefer a vet FA, but the Jets may not be able to afford one and the options are few. Brunell should go, so they may have to take a QB in the draft in order to have 3.

Maze is a good player but the Jets took a WR/PR last year in Kerley, so Maze really isn’t the WR I think the Jets should go after, plus I think they need a taller, better receiver, one that could be a legitimate #1 or at least offer a big, athletic target. Someone like Sanu perhaps in the 2nd round.

I don’t know squat about Butrym, but Wisconsin’s a good program. I see that he has been a DT. That would project to DE with the Jets, but they took Wilkerson and Ellis last year. Another DE isn’t needed. They have lots of depth on the DL. This pick would be much better spent on another S, OLB, blocking TE who can also catch, OG or even a K/P combination like the Sharp kid from Ok. St.

I like taking a Punter, but again, I’d rather go with a K/P combo to save the roster spot.

I don’t think there’s any way the Jets will be able to sign Michael Griffin, Manny Lawson, Peyton Hillis, Jared Gaither, Braylon Edwards, and Feely, plus re-sign Plax. That’s just not realistic. I seriously doubt if Feely would even want to come back to the Jets. I wanted Lawson signed last offseason, but I don’t think Rex likes him. He’s never put up big numbers. He has the tools and I thought perhaps Rex could turn him into a beast, but perhaps not. I love the Griffin and Edwards signings. Also, there’s no way Brodney Pool should be brought back imo. I think he sucks.

thanks for the comments. I personally believe we should go after either griffin or nelson and then draft a safety. we need LBs and safeties bad…

so i would rather get back to the smash mouth team we were when we had back to back AFC Championship appearances….

Im actually a Florida gator fan but Nick Saban’s defensive players probably will do good in the league.

I didnt want to make a full post out of this so i figured to just add it on to a post like this one.

If Trent Richardson and Upshaw are both available at 16 who do you think we should take?
Upshaw fills a bigger need but Richardson is such a great talent that Im not sure we can pass on him
