JustInFudge Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm not sure if anyone even cares, but its Draft Day and I'm excited. Personally, I want the Jets to draft a big guy on the DL or a true OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman88 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I've been down on the NFL this whole off season due to the labor situation (and this whole cluster**** of the courts forcing the league to open does not help) but the draft is always one of my favorite days of the year so I'm excited.

Bleedin Green Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Definitely haven't been following the prospects and build up the way I usually would, but bottom line is there's some football stuff going on and I'm psyched. Will definitely be watching coverage from the moment I leave work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely be watching coverage from the moment I leave work. Exactly. I'm a football junkie. I havent been as involved either. Havent done any mocks, player analysis, sleeper picks, etc that I typically do every offseason...but the draft is tonight and its exciting nonetheless. Very curious to see where all the QB's are going. Especially because I've been watching all the Gruden QB shows on NFLN. Some good sh*t right there. DL, OLB, S - thats what I want to see with our 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL, OLB, S - thats what I want to see with our 1st rounder. 100% agree. This is the first year in a while that I haven't really followed many of the prospects. From what i'm hearing though this draft is deep at D-line, which serves us well since that's pretty much the oldest part of our team + Jenkins is gone. Hopefully this year goes better than last. Not that I hate the players we took, just that we made huge gaping holes and drafted to fill them with projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Not really impressed by Phil Taylor, personally. He's got size, but he doesn't seem like he's anything special to me. @JiF, sucks about Janoris Jenkins. I remember you touting Ahmad Black earlier, any idea what round he might go in?

T0mShane Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'd like to see the Jets go and use a little house money this year. Let Rex draft whoever he wants and just go with it. If he wants to draft some freak athlete with a lower draft grade in the first? Cool. Go for it. Let him draft Jon Baldwin in the first, Ahmad Black in the third, whatever. Go get some football players who happen to be athletes. Throw out the ******* stopwatches and the Wonderlichs and the police blotter and go for it.

I actually wouldnt mind Taylor. Personally, I want Wilkerson or Taylor. Think Rex can make them special. Dude, Janoris is an idiot. Thats all there is too it. The guy is good, really good. He should have entered the draft. Now he's ****ed himself. The Gators have been a mess. Urban turned a blind eye to everything. Doest look like Muschamp is going to put up with it. I dont know where Black is going. He didnt run all that well for a safety. Personally, I dont give a ****. The guy can fly and he's just a naturally gifted Football player. A bit undersized, but he has amazing instincts. Total ball hawk with outstanding hands and doesnt mind laying wood for a smaller guy. He is absolutely perfect for this defense and I'll full on cream myself if we snag him. Think he's going to be 5th rounder because of his workouts. But if teams watch the film on him, he's a game changing safety, bottom line. I mean, dude ended his amazing collegiate career with a pick 6 to seal the win. Talk about going out in style. Plus, he's just a good dude who I hear is extremely coachable. COME ON TANNY AND REX, DO IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 **** yeah! h8u I think 40 times can be over-rated for safeties. A little. It'd be nice if your safety was super-instinctive AND ran a 4.4 (Polamalu, Reed), but if a guy can move AND stick his face into a guard, you'll make that work. I think Black is the kind of guy who will make a lot of plays for you within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage, but he'll get you killed down the field at least once per game. You might make that trade-off. Can't be worse than Eric Smith. EAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt39 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Just a hunch...with the bottom of the draft being a giant pile of sh*t...I see Tannenbaum trading up. I'm assuming there's one guy they're really targeting...similar to Revis in 07. If not, I guess they'll probably roll with Phil Taylor if he's available. I'm not a pro scout, but the film on most of these "pass rushers" is pretty underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn I'll be impressed if he can stay up that whole time. I really hate the new draft format, it wasn't bad last year since I lived on the west coast and ended around 9:30 but now that I'm back east it blows major chunks.

T0mShane Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Pretty amusing last-minute draft stuff going on. 1. All these NFL coaches and draft gurus talking about how much they love Cam Newton's ability...but wouldn't draft him because they're not sure he can, ahem, "handle a playbook." 2. Mallett supposedly blew off his Carolina interview because he was allegedly hung over. 3. Christian Ponder looks like a lock first, now drawing comparisons to Mark Sanchez. 4. Mayock has Jabaal Sheard climbing up into the twenties. 5. Jimmy Smith failed three drug tests, including one for codeine. Brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman88 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Pretty amusing last-minute draft stuff going on. 2. Mallett supposedly blew off his Carolina interview because he was allegedly hung over. This one was proved false about a week ago and is just a giant example of how the rumor machine rolls around draft time. Mallet met with Carolina for a dinner with plans for a breakfast meeting and a workout the next day. He ended up being sick all night and morning and after the breakfast meeting both sides decided he wouldn't be able to work out considering.

Jets Voice of Reason Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'd be scared as crap taking Cam Newton #1 personally. He's very gifted, but he's definitely a project. Then again, if you need a QB this year, you're kind of boned because of the lockout deal. I hope there's a lot of teams that reach on QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Here is my bold prediction for the 2011 draft: The Patriots will trade one of the first round picks. There is some serious rumor going around that the Pats will trade with Cleveland and move to the 6 spot and pick Julio Jones if he's there. This scenario is laughable at best.
