If he is there I would want Nicks WR from North Carolina as the outside threat we need.

I like Nicks better than Hayward-Bey because of his hands. But he's not as fast for the "deep threat".

Personally if Tyson Jackson is there at 17 I take him b/c he's a legit 3-4 DE and our current DEs are aging and aren't getting to the QB enough. Then hope for a Britt/Massaquoi/Robiske at 52.

I also wouldn't mind trading down a few spots and taking Pettigrew right before the Eagles at 21 and pick up a few extra picks to fill other holes (i.e. WR/DE/OL-depth/RB-as a safety considering the TJ situation)

Regardless I think the Jets have to move around the draft board to have a good day. I just hope we don't sacrafice them all to move way up.

if that's all I'm getting, I'd pass on him in the 1st. Bubba was a good player, but I never saw him as a 1st round player ( I know he was drafted there)

He was a starter on a lot of winning teams throughout his career. Two way tight ends get overshadowed by receiving specialists, but they are the glue that offenses are built around.

Jeremy Maclin - Explosiveness and production at the college level to be a star in the NFL.

If he is gone:

Trade back to #21 to the Cardinals, pick up a 2nd/3rd, pick up Knowshon Moreno.

Then package one of your 2 3rd round picks to move up in the 2nd round to grab Hakeem Nicks.

Someone has to want to trade up 4 slots in the latter half of round 1 badly enough to give up a 2nd-3rd round pick. No way anyone's giving up a 2nd rounder to move up from #21 to #17 anyway. You want a 2nd rounder you'll have to drop down to #27-28.

If there's a player you want so badly at #21, who's expected to go right around there (plus or minus a handful of slots), you don't trade down to do it. You take him with your original pick at #17 if your pick comes up & he's there. Otherwise there's a good chance you'll be at #21 and the player you want is gone.

Brandon Pettigrew

we should trade down a few spots to get him though... but I dont like any of the WR's that would be available there and shouldnt trade up to get one.

it just baffles me why anyone would want us to draft another 1st round tight end a year after we just did.

keller as far from a real TE as u can get..

more a wr

yeah but who ever heard of a team using their first pick on a TE just for his blocking, he's not gonna get any touches in our offense. I still say we either just get a blocking TE late in the draft or just use Wayne Hunter/Robert Turner like we did last year.

its a position we have desperate need for. Plus what we did draft wise last year should have minimal impact what we do this year. If you need a position, and there is a top talent there, you go and get it.

I dont like the WR prospects available at our spot and I am completely against moving up to get someone.

But its my opinion on what position I want filled. And nobody is going to change my opinion.

we probably will get a TE later on and not draft Pettigrew,

Again, my opinion is based upon the fact I dont like the WR's available, dont want to trade up, and our running game is the center of our offense and we dont have a blocking TE. Might as well get the best if you can.

Jeremy Maclin if he falls to us. If he's not there, Josh Freeman because I don't like our present QB situation. As a TE, I like Bear Pascoe in round 4 from Fresno St. who blocks really well and gets open for short passes. That's what we need at the position.

makes alot more sense. especially since i was just slkimming through scouting reports on pettigrew and a couple of them have him as just an adequate blocker with the size to develop. and a mediocre pass catcher? why would we take this guy in the first round? if we do i'm gonna be pissed.

Still, I never saw him as worth a 1st round pick. Don't get me wrong, Bubba Franks was a very good player... but I think you could have got someone like him in the 2nd-3rd round just as easily.

You might want to find another scouting report source, Pettigrew is a top notcher blocker, the best one in the draft for TE's. And unlike with Richard Quinn, his presence on the field does not signify to the defense that a running play is coming. Pettigrew can catch.
