Gastineau Lives Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/nfl/8491/dj-hayden ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on SportsCenter that the Jets' Rex Ryan was the lone NFL head coach in attendance at Houston CB D.J. Hayden's Monday Pro Day. Hayden ran a 4.42 at his March Pro Day before suffering a hamstring injury during the workout, so he probably stood on that time. He did positional drills in front of NFL evaluators. Ryan's presence certainly suggests the Jets have interest in Hayden. He may be a candidate for one of their two first-rounders. Apr 22 - 2:45 PM I don't know enough about him (or most other college players), but drafting a cornerback would leave with me a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Do you think Idzik would want the perception to be that we basically traded Revis for this kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Perception pershmeption. With Revis and Cro we could play man-to-man on the #1 and #2 receivers, which frees another man on defense to do something else. That's a very big advantage. With Cro showing he could be a mostly adequate replacement for Revis last year, we need a great man-to-man CB to replace Cro on the #2 receiver, or else we have to play zone like everyone else. Then we will lose that advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Idzik sending Rex to a player's pro day is probably a lot like the president sending the vice president to a state funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have him ranked in the early 30's in final top 100. So maybe with trade down or early rd 2? but again i don't think CB is an early round target. Offense offense offense. And then more offense.

Il Mostro Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I had DJ on my wish list of day 2 players -- my pick for the best to man to man cover guy in the draft. I heard his stock was on the rise, but any DB at 9 or 13 is a big reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.Chowds Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think Mayock said tonight on path to the draft that he is his number 1 CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 He had a freak injury to his heart that should have killed him. The question with him is if that injury still poses a threat in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think Mayock said tonight on path to the draft that he is his number 1 CB I guess the consensus is there is little chance of his heart issues ever recurring. From what I read, he is lucky to be alive after the type injury he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 He had a freak injury to his heart that should have killed him. The question with him is if that injury still poses a threat in the future. Supposedly it was very much a freakish injury and, now that he is healed, he has about the same probability of it recurring as he had of suffering it in the first place. It isn't disease related and evidently isn't chronic. Amazing story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Mayock has him as his top CB and thinks he is the only CB who may go top 10 - but that he didn't think a CB would go top 10. The Revis trade had as much to do with 16 million against the cap as it did the compensation the Jets got in return for him. The Jets could pay 5 DRC's what Revis got paid. So drafting a CB high would not bother me and it would make some sense. The position is very important to Rex's defense and I'm in the minority in thinking that so long as the defense plays well, Rex will be here next year.
