hoping4ASuperBowl Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hmm, I don't see him in the rankings of safeties and pass rushers. Is he from a small school program? /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyHector Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Even though it's ultimately as meaningless as this report, I'd like to think that Luck and RGIII would be #'s 1 and 2 on the Jets' draft board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damaged89 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Well that's a relief. Hopefully this was just the result of some dimwit writer believing that "#1 on draft board" is synonymous with "will draft". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I fail to see the strategic purpose of leaking this if it is a smokescreen... which has me worried. Yeah This is either the dumbest move the Jets have ever made, or something else is going on. There is just no way a team that is seriously going to trade up to #3 calls a player to confirm is #. No way. Only things that make sense. 1) It is total BS 2) They are trying to move up some for another player, and are throwing smoke out there. 3) Revis is about to become a Vike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJ667 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 What it would cost to move up. (based on draft value chart) Value of the #3 pick is 2,200, value of Jets #16 pick is 1,000. So we have to find 1,200 points. Jets #47 pick is 430 points. Jets #77 is 205 points. Jets #154 is 29.8 points. Jets #187 16.6 points Round 7 value is almost miniscule (less than single digits.) 681.4 points based on the picks they have this year outside of round one. So the Jets have 1,681.4 points. They would need another 600 points roughly. So for the Jets to acquire Richardson at #3 it will likely cost them This years #1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and next years #1 to get him. It's not worth it.

Perhaps they move up 3-4 picks to acquire DeCastro or Barron. DeCastro thinking that he can play right tackle, which I have heard is not implausible.

The trade chart is a good baseline, but it doesn't account for demand. If nobody wants the pick, including the team trading it - it can be had for less. Look at what we paid for the pick we used on Sanchez. Peanuts. The demand for the #1 and #2 pick in this draft was substantial - franchise QBs. After that, we have a bunch of teams trying to move down.... no way the chart is relevant in these circumstances. I haven't checked but I think the Redskins actually overpaid based on the chart for the RG3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehands Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I would think their love of Richardson is probably partly how good they think he will be and partly due a perceived need for a number 1 back for the ground and pound. I think that may mean you will see us select one of the top 3 or 4 runningbacks in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in actuality probably trying to move up to 8-12. Would be awesome if they were going after Barron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 All teams do several mock drafts to be prepared for any situation. Perhaps one of their mocks has Richardson falling a good bit. If that scenario happens they would move up a few spots for him. It still doesn't make any sense to let this info get out by calling the player. They are not giving up their whole draft, and half of next years for a RB. At least I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't checked but I think the Redskins actually overpaid based on the chart for the RG3. I'll agree to an extent. The chart isn't valuable in this case for the exact same reason as it was for RG3. Now team want to get to Pick #3 for either Richardson or Tannehill. There are many teams linked to Tannehill just as their are to get Richardson. So based on my earlier formula it may cost in addition a 2 and a 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
