brian101193 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This makes no sense to me, which is why it makes perfect sense the jets almost did it. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/jets/post/_/id/12243/report-jets-wanted-irvin-not-coples Think it's true?

SenorGato Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Wouldnt be too surprising...produced in college...at 6'3" has good height...very strong workout numbers...moves well on tape...Still, who gives a sh*t? He's not a certified Ware-esque freak and he's got his own off the field (and on the field) issues. If they wanted Irvin the gap between him and Coples couldn't have been large. OTOH, I don't mind ESPN/others crapping on Los Yets right now...they'll all be back on the wagon again soon enough...let them enjoy blowing the Pats for now since the Brady era is coming to an end sooner rather than later.

Irish Jet Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 LOL at Cimini, what an utter ****. Even if it is true, I can't see why we'd have taken him then, my guess is we still would have tried to trade down. At least with Coples you new he'd be off the board pretty soon.

GREENBEAN Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yes, that you are a total waste of life that has no business writing about the Jets. Right? A picture is developing? We could have taken Ingram or upshaw or whoever we wanted to take. Only 15 players had been taken up to that point. What is this picture? That we secretly hate our draft pick? This is ridiculous NY media crap. Now that the draft is over, I'm looking forward to taking a nice vacation from all of this until training camp. It will be so nice not to hear the NY beat writers trying to create stories when there aren't any in the offseason. Ugh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm surprised this article took this long to surface. I assumed he would have had it written before the draft, and just plug in any old name and hit "send". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKwaz Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I am a big Bruce Irvin fan, I have talked about wanting him a few times in the draft forum. Taking him in the first is just crazy, second would have been high but I would have since to me he was a high third. I would have to thonk this is a seahawk source trying to confirm to everyone why they picked him where they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 And had we taken Irvin, this would have been a "Jets make high-risk reach by taking Irvin @ 16" article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Seatle took a lot of heat locally for picking this guy in the first. More than likely it is them saying this to justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Trent Richardson was also #1 on their board and they planned on trading up for Ingram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This again. Yes, maybe they preferred Irvin over Coples, but with St. Louis absolutely primed for a trade up, if the Jets valued one that much higher over the other, moving up a few spots to get THE guy you want, it's not that much. You don't sit around, you go get him. It's not as if seattle traded up and grabbed him, they traded back and sat in front of us for a handful of picks. I don't see why it matters that we had players rated above our draft pick, it happens every year and happened to every single team in this draft minus Indy and Washington. Why is this time so special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manish Mehta @TheJetsStream Although Jets had interest in West Virginia OLB Bruce Irvin, they would not have selected him at No. 16 if he was still on the board. #nyj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyHector Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The thing that doesn't add up is that unless the Jets thought there was almost no chance that Coples made it to them, what sense would it make for Rex to promise him that he'd be the pick at #16 if they truly had their heart set on a "sleeper" who they had to think would almost definitely be available at their draft slot?
