Larz Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 it makes sense, the passing O was the problem, so you need to set up play action passing with a run game. I have no idea if this kid is any good, but I like investing in big guys in early rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It doesn't matter who they draft as long as they get guys that can play. The Jets have so many needs almost any position taken fills a hole. Good old 'Trader Mike’ has gutted the draft so bad in the past the Jets cannot afford big swings and misses this year. How about a third or fourth rounder doing something in 2012 unlike Ellis and Powell last year? The draft, for the most part, is supposed to be about the future but since the Jets had so few picks over the years it is now about their needs mostly. They need to get like 6 or 7 quality players, not necessarily starters though that would be nice, out of this draft. I like this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJ667 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 worst move ever, no. This can be accomplished by trading back though. A right tackle "should be" easier to find in free agency or later in the draft. Putting in a plan to take over for Moore would be wise. This being said, finding a young linebacker or safety (Barron) would be the smart move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Me too It's DeCastro or bust if you want to go with any OL in the 1st. Wouldn't mind DeCastro at all. If i had my choice of OL who might be there when the Jets pick, I'll take Mike Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 My analysis: A guard is a possibility. LG Matt Slauson is coming off major shoulder surgery and RG Brandon Moore, soon 32, is entering the final year of his contract. The Jets like second-year G Caleb Schlauderaff, but he might be best suited to a Rob Turner-type role. Vladimir Ducasse is a bigger question now than the day he was drafted in the second round. No, no it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neckdemon Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I dont characterize Cordy Glenn as a guard. He's better at tackle in the mold of late career Damien Woody. this is a player who played all last year at LT in the SEC, against very good players. yeah but how do you feel about vernon gholston?

HessStation Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Wouldn't mind DeCastro at all. If i had my choice of OL who might be there when the Jets pick, I'll take Mike Adams I don't know. Adams looks like a solid starting RT. DeCastro will be an All Pro for 10 years imo. I understand the bigger hole is at RT but the better player is the OG who can play either side. I'm not claiming to be some draft guru but last time I've felt this good about an OL prospect it was Mangold predraft. What I mean is I think DeCastro is the safest pick for stardom in the entire draft. A combination of what I've seen and what I've heard and read.

DeCastro has a chance to be a special player. Adams had a sensational Senior Bowl week. Against good players. Think he is going to be around the NFL a long time.

jbone Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hard to have a good running game when every defense stacks the box and dares you to throw it on nearly everydown. Which seemed to happen a lot in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 If Decastro is as good as he's billed... we would have not only a dominant left-side, but with Moore in the mix, a dominant connect-4. At that point who gives a sh*t who's playing RT? Except for Sanchez, of course. The problem is we have a bunch of OGs who can play OG. We need versatile players who can play multiple roles, which is why Cordy Glenn would be a nice addition. He can play RT, or OG, maybe LT. I also like the idea of getting Peter Konz if we trade back. He's a starting caliber center being compared to Mangold, who can play guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Oofus Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 For a guy who made a name for himself on the defensive side of the ball I have no clue as to why Rex is against bolstering the defense? we've sorely missed a pass rush in way too many years as far as I'm concerned.

Inspector Oofus Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'd be happy if we drafted Curry but my only concern is that he played at Marshall so the competition he played against would make me wonder but there have been a few really good players to come out of Marshall ie: Moss & Pennington.

Well to the competition thing I have to say that Troy opened their season with Marshall in 2004. It's a hack point, but I say let it pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Curry, despite his collegiate competition performed well against elite blockers at the Senior Bowl. It is possible for small school guys to perform well in the big leagues. See Mo Wilkerson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanBe_Tweetin Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Apparently thats the recipe for success. Thats my point, just because you need, doesnt mean you draft. I dont like the early round skills players this season...at all. Blackmon? Floyd? Richardson? I agree that this is a weak draft for skill positions and most positions overall but still I think Floyd Blackmon and Richardson are studs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Blackmon? Floyd? Richardson? I agree that this is a weak draft for skill positions and most positions overall but still I think Floyd Blackmon and Richardson are studs Solid players, none of them give me the feeling they are true game breakers/changers. Just good players. Nothing that jumps off the screen at me when I watch them. Blackmon looks like a pure possession guy, Floyd is interesting but not worth the 16th overall pick IMO and while Richardson is a stud and I'd take him if he fell to 16...I honestly hate taking RB's in the first round unless you are getting an AP type back.

whodeawhodat Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Happy to have a top-flight OL in the early rounds. I truly believe that star Olineman are more valuable than star RB's or WR's in the long run. They are invlolved in every play, every second of every down. And without a good OL unit, there is no offense. Having said that...the Ducasse reach in round two has haunted us and will continue to haunt us for seasons to come. If you're going that high on an OL, it can't be a "project". Those guys are drafted in rnds 5 and up. I agree with this. Your OLine gets your first 3 yards for your RB imo. After thas SG can bust up a safety or arm tackle for a couple of yards. I am anxious to see what DUCASSE will do this season after a full offseason and with our new OC Luigi to help guide him along. If and it is a big IF Ducasse can contribute this year we can lay the wood on most teams with our running game especially the Patsies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73andMe Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Have to beef-up the OL to pass and run block better. Preferably someone from The Big 10 who could almost step right in and play. We need help immediately for Sanchez and/or RBs to be more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
