2012 Wish List: Take 2

Reminds me of Lesean Mccoy

if your signing a new punter , you need to add the old 1 to your cut list , just a heads up

I’m going to be that obnoxious stickler who points out Mulligan is a free agent and wouldn’t need to be cut. :-)

I think we’d probably have to trade up once or twice in mid rounds of the Draft. It’s unlikely 11 rookies would make the team.

when both are young, cheap unproven talent. granted ducasse hasnt panned out, but to write him off now as having no shot at panning out when he was raw coming out of college and then had no offseason with coaching last season as for cumberland, i have not the faintest idea why we’d cut him

also, geoff schwartz is listed as a guard and missed the entire 2011 campaign. why do you think he is the answ at RT? and i dont really think it’d be a good idea to start out next yr w/ haruki nakamura, iloka and lowery as our new additions at safety. that basically would improve the position minimally at best

but there isn’t much change for the better on offence .
why not give Garrard money to Griffin and have a top safety instead of a top backup ?
why draft 2 RB’s and cut powell ( who would cost cap to get rid of ) without giving powell a chance to improve like the way mcknight did from year 1 to year 2 ?
i also think we could get better players at wr and our o line than what you have . i don’t see much improvement in those spots if i’m honest. i think that because you only fill 1 on major hole with our top 3 picks is also a bit disapointing

I don’t know where to begin. I guess I’ll start with the positive. I absolutely LOVE the first five rounds of your draft. I’d take that any day, although I would prefer the double dip at OLB to be higher than the 6th round. If McClellin is there in the 6th (though he probably won’ be), I’d take him over Robinson. I don’t pretend to know anything about the players you mentioned in rounds 6-7.

I’m afraid it’s all downhill after that, however. There is absolutely no way under the sun that the Jets will be able to sign that many FAs this offseason, especially if they sign Garrard (which I think would be a big mistake). I think Garrard is done. I’d rather have Kellen Clemens back than Garrard, and I think Clemens is pretty bad. Where do you think they’re gonna get all that cap room?

Also, I disagree with some of your cuts and retaining of our own FAs. Ducasse should not be cut. He had no offseason last year, and if any player in the NFL needed it, it was Ducasse. The Jets have switched to a simpler man blocking OL style this offseason and will have a simpler offense. Just when it appears the Jets may finally be able to get something out of him you want to get rid of him? That makes no sense imo. He may not develop, but teams can’t afford to waste 2nd round picks. At the very least, he should be given until the end of TC to see if he can contribute in any meanginful way. If not, then cut him, but to cut him now would be not very smart imo. They have to give him every opportunity to succeed.

Similarly, why cut Cumberland? He was starting to contribute last season when he got hurt. He has great size, hands and speed. He is a player that could take over Keller’s role, be cheaper and quite possibly better. He has a very high ceiling. This makes no sense.

The re-signing I have a problem with is Pool. I think he’s awful and his lack of hustle/effort should have him not coming back, if nothing else to send a signal to the team that this type of thing will not be tolerated. They can’t send that message with Holmes, but they can with Pool. The ONLY reason I would bring Pool back is if the Jets can’t sign a FA S or two. I’d bring back Eric Smith any day of the week and twice on Sunday before I would Pool. At least Smith contributes vs the run and I think on STs. Pool contributes nothing.

i like Ingram at #1 and i like Martin but i think we should go for a Safety at 2 or trade back into the first for Barron if he starts to fall into the mid 20’s but ONLY if he falls otherwise just take a S in the 2nd. RB isn’t really our biggest need so i think we can afford to pass until maybe the 5th or 6th round.

i like Gerell Robinson late, but another prospect people are forgetting about is Ryan Broyles WR from Oklahoma. he hurt his knee during the season so he missed most of the year but i think hes going to be pretty good in the NFL, and will fall from his injury.

the way i see it the first 3 picks should be OLB S and OT

Take V. Ducasse and J. Cumberland off the list of being cut.

Keep Pool. Cut Smith and let Leonard walk. Draft M .Barron, sign D. Lowery and M. Griffin. Griffin immediately start. Barron and Lowery compete for the other starting job. Pool backup only.

Draft Order: 1. M. Barron (S) 2. Z Sander (OT), 3. T. Streeter (WR), 4. B. Irvin or T. Manning (OLB), 5. J. Franklin (ILB), 6 D. Fleming (OLB) , 7. A. Thomas (RB).

Draft those players in that order if they are available and we should be set

He was taken as a project and missed an off season of development. No one knows if he’ll ever be decent, but cutting him now is selling low.

The only two things I disagree with are cutting Ducasse, because I believe he should get one more year, and spending such a high draft pick on an RB. I really think Sparano is going to give McKnight a chance this year. We shouldn’t be thinking about a #2 RB until we know how McKnight is going to develop, and our sample size is too small right now. I can see them taking Barron in the first round, and then an OLB in the 2nd.

Braylon Edwards is a must sign IMO…. I think leonhard should be re-signed if he’s healthy.

trade eric smith and wayne hunter for lamar holmes and alibert h
two fat guys [dusses and abert h ] will make pakes out of jets ’s 2012 oppents

If we drafted your 1-5 i would be a happy camper. I don’t think we’re cutting vlad this year. We’re not going to waste a 2nd rounder due to a rough season without an off season. It’s not enough in my opinion to label him a bust yet.

I don’t think we should get rid of Cumberland yet either. He was looking pretty good before his injury and especially if we’re possibly shopping around Keller.. Cumberland might just be his up coming clone which I’d be ok with personally. I’d let Pool go… haters can hate but I’d like Leonhard back. And I don’t want to see Eric Smith in Green and White anymore.

Also… personally.. I don’t like Donald Strickland… I hope we don’t bring him back. I don’t have any strong ideas on who I’d rather have back there but there’s gotta be someone better than Strickland. I’d like some more thoughts around him here.

As far as QB.. we’re going to look into Manning which i really don’t think we’ll do much more than “look into” and then we’ll probably turn our attention to someone like Brady Quinn. I just don’t see Campbell or Garrard even wanting to play for us, plus I don’t think we’ll want to pay them the kinda oney they’ll ask and frankly I don’t want any of them. And I think we’ll probably stick with McElroy as the third stringer. He didn’t look too bad in the preseason before his injury.
