If the Jets draft a RT high or sign one for big money in free agency it would be a huge mistake. This team needs playmakers. The best RT in football wouldn't make this a good team.He has his not so good moments, but is not an automatic turnstile like Hunter. No idea about his salary, but good depth player if we get a legit RT.

i think that's low. more like 4th overall.
There's nothing you can point to to make the case that they're a top-ten OL.

On winning teams, Austin Howard is the kind of guy you have - the kind that wasn't drafted high and isn't paid much and yet quietly does his job. I think the Jets will look to upgrade LG or RT in the draft, but compared with QB, WR, RB, TE and OLB it isn't really a necessity.

O-line is not a problem now and it never was. We've all been spoiled. It's like watching Kyle Wilson give up a touchdown and saying he's a bust because of that, when it's really just a matter of Darelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie being all-world.

Agreed. I just watched the Giants O get crushed largely because they can't block at RT.
