I read somewhere online about the Jets picking some loudmouth that would replace Bart Scott, he had the he could back it up sort of description...I cant find it now and really wanted to check out who this kid was cause i never heard of him before...I think it said he was an Arizona boy...

Anyway I figured someone on here would know since you all have crazy football knowledge and maybe one of you a$$ holes read the same thing I did..

Thanks/I hate you


(thats right I insulted and complimented you all and then thanked and unthanked you all..whoever gets me the answer will win aa huge amount of money that I made myself out of bandaids...)

1. You're a dork.
2. The guy you're looking for is Vontaze Burfict, Arizona State.

[HessStation]

Ok, I'll bet anybody here $1000 they don't draft an ILB in the first round.

[BroadwayJ667]

Vontaze Burfict would be a disaster as a first round pick. Now as a second round pick, very shrewd.

Besides the pick is gonna be Upshaw or Barron

Its funny the first highlight they have on there, he completely misses the play.

Then the washington game. He blows up the guard but has no impact.

Don't get me wrong the guy might be the most talented LB I've seen in ten years, but his execution, discipline and consistency really need a lot of work.

The guy is an incredible talent, that apparently fell off once his buddy (I forget his name) stopped playing and failed to "line him up appropriately". I would still like to see him on our roster, just not at 16.

[BroadwayJ667]

He's a guy that you could get three or four good years from as he chases a big contract. The guy doesn't seem to like football, he probably just likes the benefits and the money

no your a dork, but thanks for finding this for me...I agree with you BroadwayJ667, I like to see a 2nd rounder get a guy like this...

All I really Hope is we get starters.. three would be great but I be happy with two..hell I be happy with three backups that could be counted on to play well...

IF the Jets decide to draft Scotts replacement in the 1st round, it should be Hightower from Alabama. He will end up being a top 5 player if you re due the draft 3 years later, and will start day one for whatever team drafts him (probably the Steelers) if they need him to.

[Darrellegivesmeaboner#24]

I want Vontaze Burfict. We can draft him this year, keep Bart Scott since his money is guaranteed anyway, have him replace Thomas, stop the run next year like a boss...This is a position we are going to need to address in the next year or two, Burfict is a terrific talent who will likely fall to us. If we aren't going Mark Barron, this is the guy I want. I do not believe that this guy is really going to fall to the second round. Let's not be greedy, this is an impact player on defense...

Former Arizona state QB Danny White on Burfict:

"I agree 100 percent," White said. "He was also the reason Dennis Erickson got fired. When your best football player is a guy like that, he's what I call a coach killer. He's such a great athlete, you have to have him on the field. But by the same token, the negatives outweigh the positives with him. As great a player as he is, you can' t have that. And then what happens, when if you don't take extreme measures with it, then it becomes a cancer on the team. And I started seeing other guys on the defense starting to act like that and I think it became infectious. No matter how good a player is, when he's got that kind of attitude on the field, when he hurts you like Vontaze hurt the team, you got to get rid of him. As hard as that is, and it's a hard thing to do, especially when he's your best player, you just can't have it or it does become a cancer, and I think he did."

Seems like a great player, but after all the controversy about locker room chemistry and relationships this season, I don't see Rex, Tanny or Woody touching this kid with a 1st round pick.

Agree with your analysis on Burfict...sometimes you just got to cut a man loose...still think Rex is arrogant enough to draft him (not in the first) and attempt to rehabilitate...hopefully after last season they say pass.

[jbone]

I could definitely see Rex drooling over him if he makes it to the second round. He can't be any worse than Ducasse. I just fear he could be Holmes' counterpart on the defense, in terms of rocking the boat. That is why guys like Ray Lewis are so important to have in a locker room. Lewis rules the Ravens locker room like a true leader, no one questions him and no one even thinks about challenging him. If you step out of line, you have to answer to Ray, he holds everyone accountable. If the Jets had a guy like that on their team, I would roll the dice on him after the 1st round, but saldy we do not have the proper leadership to bottleup a nut case like Vontaze.

Maybe he can join Holmes and Sanchez in their couples therapy sessions. haha

[TNJet]

Luke Kuechley is exactly what this team needs. A classy great player.

[SenorGato]

No one threatens Lewis because he might kill them.

[sg3]

burfict would be far from perfect

[bitonti]

the draft is day 1 first round, day 2 second and third round, day 3 rounds 4, 5, 6, 7

Burfict still on the board when Day 3 starts would not be surprising at all.

At some point being uncoachable catches up to you.

I get that this is your opinion, but there is no evidence at all that he will fall that far. He is a first round graded player by basically every single draftnik on the internet...He has some character concerns, but it is still much more likely that he ends up blowing up the combine and going in the top 20.
