Interesting Mock Draft I Found
I am always looking at mocks, and I found this updated one just a bit ago: http://nflmocks.com/2012/01/14/new-york-jets-mock-draft/
Here's what it says (it does NOT include compensatory picks) with my thoughts on each pick:
1) Nick Perry, OLB, USC
My thoughts: As I have previously stated, I love Nick Perry. I would be extremely happy with this pick. It is no secret that this is a position of need, as the lack of pass rush is outstanding. We might be the best in the league at not having a good pass rush. Nick has decent size and pretty good strength. He has a nice rip move and is blazingly fast (projected 4.5 40 yard dash) with good acceleration. He also performed well versus good opponents (i.e. Jonathon Martin, the second best OT in college football this year). He had 9.5 sacks this year. USC has a knack for grooming linebackers and I think this kid could be something special.
2) Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State
My thoughts: OT is an obvious position of need. Whether we address it in the draft or free agency (I'm looking at you, Demetrius Bell), it needs to be fixed. That is without question. By all accounts, he has good footwork, size, and athleticism. He has a good shot at being a good pro. He is a little infamous for this play, but don't judge him (I still don't understand what happened here...)
3) Nick Toon, WR, Wisconsin
My thoughts: Not sure if he'll be available here, but if so I will be happy with this pick. I kind of have an obsession with big, deep threat receivers. Toon is 6'2 and projected to run a high 4.4 (closer to 4.5 probably). He has good hands, uses his body well, blocks well, and adjusts to the ball well. He finished the year with 64 receptions for 926 yards and 10 touchdowns. These are not only good numbers, but he did it in a run first offense (running back Montee Ball close to 2000 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns while also catching for another 300 yards and 6 touchdowns). Of course the Jets love his family as his father, Al, was a great WR for the Jets. I'm not sure that he can be a great #1 receiver, but he will definitely be able to produce at the next level and could one day be a #1 receiver. Other receiver options with this pick are Tommy Streeter (Miami) and Brian Quick (Appalachian State).
4) Tank Carder, ILB, TCU
My thoughts: With the rumors of Bart Scott possibly being gone (I hope that doesn't happen), Carder can possibly fill in for him I guess. I really don't know much about Carder to be honest so I really don't know if this will work out. In the meantime, if Bart is still around next year, he can learn some things under Bart and help out in pass coverage hopefully. I think that at this time we could possibly get someone else who I feel would contribute more. This includes receiver Juron Criner (Arizona), pass rushers Shea McClellin (Boise State)/Donte Paige-Moss (UNC), and running back Isaiah Pead (Cincinnati).
5) George Iloka, FS, Boise State
My thoughts: If you don't already know, I really, really like George Iloka. Like, a lot. We obviously need safety help. Iloka is 6'3, fast for his size, did well in coverage in college, and can be used in blitz packages. He could be the missing piece to the puzzle, as he may be able to cover tight ends in the NFL one day. He may be pretty raw and not ready to step right in and start Day 1, but I think he will get there. I love this pick.
6) Dominique Davis, QB, East Carolina
My thoughts: Not loving this pick. In this round I want a punter (Shaun Powell, Florida State or Bryan Anger, California).
7) Michael Williams, TE, Alabama
My thoughts: We need a blocking tight end. I guess this will work. I'm fine with this pick. I also would like to draft a kicker so this may be the time to do so. I don't know any kickers so I will leave this to the Jets to figure out.
WHAT THIS MOCK DRAFT MISSED: COMPENSATORY PICKS
According to another fanpost by tinley24, we will get a 5th, 6th, and 2 7th. I have two ideas for the use of these picks.
1) Use them all. In the 5th, get another FS. In the 6th, get a kicker to go along with the punter we draft and then use the original 7th rounder on that blocking tight end. With the other two 7th round picks we would just take BPA.
2) Use them as trade bait. We can get another 2nd or 3rd rounder by using them (i.e. trade all 4 for a pick in the middle or towards the beginning of the 2nd or 3rd round). If we got a earlyish to mid 2nd rounder, we could not only draft Sanders, but we could also double dip on a position. This could be pass rusher Vinny Curry from Marshall to go with Perry (potential superstar duo of the future), WR Dwight Jones from UNC to go with our 3rd rounder Nick Toon (I love Dwight Jones and I think he could be a star), or RT Mike Adams from Ohio State to go with 2nd rounder Zebrie Sanders and let them fight it out for the starting position. The other can be a backup for D'Brick and the starter (great depth). Another guy we could draft with an extra 2nd rounder is OG Kelechi Osemele from Iowa State. He would provide nice depth and Brandon Moore is getting older. If we were to get an extra 3rd rounder, we could use the same "double dip strategy": another pass rusher to go with Nick Perry, another WR to go with Toon (i.e. Tommy Streeter from Miami, Brian Quick from Appalachian State, or Stephen Hill from Georgia Tech), or OT Brandon Mosely from Auburn to go with Zebrie Sanders and let them fight it out for the starting job, the other will provide great depth.
Would you guys be happy with this mock plus my additions??

Not a bad draft
Provided we don’t trade a billion picks away like we seem to do every year…
I can’t imagine how we’ll end up with compensatory picks.

You need to have lost productive free agents to get them. I can’t think of a single free agent we lost who did anything of note this year.

Lies
They have a list and we max out 4 picks.
Ellis
Coleman
Weatherford [possibly]
Edwards
Smith
They may have done little or nothing but we still get picks for them

Yes we will get 4
Weatherford does not qualify because he is making under $1 million. You need to be making at least $1 million to qualify
Yeah when I read it, he was questionable even if we could get a 5th
And the home of the .... JETS!!!

I was under the impression it was contract based rather than performance

Its contract first then starting time I think.

I'd love perry.
I like the OT in the 2nd, but after watching brady throwing to his buddies gronkowski and hernandez I think a safety is a need. Baccari Rambo from georgia is really good. He should be on the board when we pick in the 2nd

Yes, I agree
Tight ends around the league are putting up huge numbers, the fact that we can’t stop them is huge, we need a cover safety. I also don’t like going for a WR too early because of the wealth of talent in this years FA WR pool.

Yes, this is a deep year for WR
But we want to make the WR position and offense line as good as possible. Let’s make Sanchez’s job as easy as we can for him. It’s not like we’re using our first rounder on Alshon Jeffery (which I would probably be ok with if we did). And with Rambo, yes he could be good but he won’t be able to step in and start Day 1 either. I don’t think there are any safeties in this year’s draft who will be able to, let alone guard probably the best tight end in the league
Mcnutt is better than toon
Marvin Mcnutt is faster, same size, and is from a school where we have a couple of successful players already (Iowa). The guy could be special and replace Plax
is rambo coming out ?
he has great potential.
i like that draft but my only problem is nick toon . i think we can get a better wr than him . i’d swap to drafting wr in the 2nd and RT in the 3rd but i’d be fine with the rest
if its for you it won't pass you
Which RT would you want in the 3rd?
And which WR would you want in the 2nd (assuming Sanu has already been picked when we’re on the clock)?
If Sanu is there in the 2nd screw the Zebra or Mike Adams.
And the home of the .... JETS!!!

"You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, f**k it, I don't care what you think."-Roy McDonald
i really want jeffery
but there are some very good wr’s who will be there when we pick in the 2nd . sanu won’t make it past the jags .
hopefully adcock could fall to the 3rd round , we could trade up if needed
if its for you it won't pass you
the thing is though
if we wait for and miss out on Adcock we miss out on all of the OT’s that can come in and start right away. If only we were in the Pats’ situation two 1st rounders, two 2nd rounders…….
ala joe mcknight?
he will show up in better shape than that . nothing i have seen or read points to jeffery having a bad work ethic
if its for you it won't pass you
i don't know
maybe burger king opened up beside campus , maybe he was adding weight to convert it to muscle for the combine .
if its for you it won't pass you.
i want jeffery in green at pick 16

I don't even see many BKs outside of New York

well i guess if we did it with mcknight
we can do it with this guy too. i’d still rather have a pass rusher.
yes we have all the good stuff lol

Wow. American influence does suck.
Many old Irish told me I had already missed the chance to see their country. But they were not blaming the USA for that specifically.

we even get Obama claiming he is irish lol
America just want their hand in ireland and i can’t blame them . were great lol

And our love for Ireland keeps the Brits guessing as to our motives. And your country is great as a middle man in arms deals where we could plausible blame France.

+1 on the arms deals lol

I like this draft.
Though I have see Iloka projected a little higher, I still want him. I’d give up that 6th round QB pick to move up and secure Iloka if needed.
yea I'm not fond of that pick either
I think that might be a waste
You're not allowed to trade compensatory picks, are you?
I thought those weren’t available for trades.
by Exystence on Jan 15, 2012 2:34 PM EST via mobile reply actions
No you're not
I realized that after. Easy fix: trade our original 5th, 6th, and 7th
I don't think you can get into the 2nd round with that
And I’m pretty doubtful of it getting us into the 3rd either. The lower the pick, the less moving up you can do with it.
our 5th 6th and 7th will get us a 4th round pick
if its for you it won't pass you.
