hoping4ASuperBowl Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Reporters must be so bored waiting for rex to make another SB guarantee or have another sex video involving a Jet leaked because between this and florio's piece of garbage article about Rex making so called bounties on players these reporters are just dying for headlines. They are really grasping at straws here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm guessing the Jets had expected Coples to be gone by 16, and Irvin to be someone they could get at 24. Jets probably had a verbal on trading back from 16 that they would have pulled the trigger on if Irvin was there at 16, move back 8 spots get mid-rounders and their target. Probably why a Jets official called the Seahawks and razzed them for blowing up their plans. I'm sure all this happened, from a planning for different scenarios standpoint. I'd hardly call it or spin it as the controversy that these hackneyed sports news outlets insist on selling it as, but it happens. To every team. Every year. This stuff happens. Its called strategy.

Villain The Foe Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Nfln reported jets targets Irvin or coples and had a deal worked out to trade down with steelers. Steelers were going to take Stanford guard. Jets backed out when Irvin taken. Don't know particulars. Saw on twitter from Jason la contora or whatever his name is WHAT???? Im appalled! I believe it though. If im correct the Jets were the first team to take the draft time all the way down to the wire. They were trying to move and didnt expect the Seahawk pick and was in limbo for 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 It makes sense. If two guys the Jets liked were still there then moving down and expecting one of them to still be there makes sense. Much less so if they had Coples rated much higher than anyone else (once Irwin was gone). I believe the Jets got one of the two guys they really wanted. Unlike - i think - the Rams and Bucs.

Jetsfan80 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 So if we made this deal we would have lost out on both Coples, Irvin, and drafted.......Stephen Hill at 24? Not too far-fetched considering I believe we had a 1st-round grade on him. I'm glad the draft played out the way it did for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 The thing I find so funny is while attempting to try to paint this as a negative (which is ridiculous as others have already pointed out) the media just completely destroyed their own prior negative story that the Jets supposedly didn't really want Coples and were desperately trying to trade down. If anything, this proves exactly the opposite, that they very well could have traded down, but weren't willing to lose out on Coples to do it. Sure sounds like they valued the guy pretty damn highly. I'm glad to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear it. Yeah, and I find it hard to believe the Jets couldn't have found a trade partner if they really wanted to trade down. Melvin Ingram was sitting there, as was, apparently, a player the Steelers wanted to trade up for (DeCastro). There's just not much of a chance the Jets were sitting there panicking at 16 because they didn't get Irvin like we were led to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
