he's also the guy who hit Henne when the ball popped up for Bart Scott INT
True.
I like him, but just because he flashes doesn't mean he's better than Bryan Thomas (who hasn't flashed in half a decade if ever).

Thomas had a couple of years in this D in which he was a valuable asset because he could cover. Same with Pace. Those days have passed and they are both worthless. Need an overhaul at LB and this D will be very strong at every level once Revis returns.
Agreed, outside of the LBs this D is in pretty good shape, especially when you consider a mostly young DL (with lots of talent/potential) will have another year under their belts (and have shown plenty of improvement in their time so far).
Assuming the retention of Landry, the only other positions on the D I could see wanting to address would probably be the other safety spot (Bell has been solid, but is too old to rely on) and maybe NT (Pouha's age and Ellis' health/inexperience). Neither would be positions where they'd really need any big money / high draft pick spending (that needs to be saved for the O).
Excuses are the tools of the incompetent.

If there isnt an OLB available in the 1st, I'd be o.k. with a NT. Its necessary in this D and its hard to find big guys who can move late. I dont think there will be a single skills player worthy of a 1st round selection this year IMO. Someone will go 1st round obviously, but I wouldnt trust them one bit.

I'd really like to keep Landry and then worry about the other spot. If they don't resign Bell then maybe Bush or Allen can step in and play. Def need to address OLB without a doubt.

I'm not the biggest BT fan, but the guy is still as stout vs the run as any OLB in the NFL.

I still believe Kenrick Ellis can be a beast on this defense. I'm hoping for an OLB or ILB in the first.
My draft positional wish list is as follows:
1.OLB
2.ILB
3.RB
4.OG
5.TE (Assuming we don't resign Keller on the cheap)
6. SS to play opposite Landry
7.WR (I want Holmes out of here)
I would say QB but I think we all know this isn't the year we'll draft the next "franchise" quarterback.

Team says Bryan Thomas suffered a pec strain and is day-to-day. Stephen Hill has an LCL sprain. Team says it will know more Thursday.#nyj

besides Jarvis Jones, there are several very good DE who could be OLB. also there's Manti T'eo who would probably come off the board where the Jets pick now (12 overall).
My posts have to get worse, so they can get better.
