CrazyCarl40 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Since we have a long time before the draft starts let's play a little game. If the Jets pick at 9 and 13 (for arguments sake, let's not predict trades for this experiment) who is your ideal guy at those picks, a few guys you could live with and a few guys you absolutely do not want. I think it would be interesting and fun to see the responses and kill some time before we boo. This is all opinion so let's try to be cordial. I'll start: Pick #9: Ideal: Dion Jordan Could Live With: Mingo, a Guard, Star Do Not Want: Geno, Austin, Patterson, Jarvis Jones, Ansah Pick #13: Ideal: Tyler Eifert Could Live With: Austin, a guard, Geno Do Not Want: Patterson, Jarvis Jones, ANY corner (too much pressure and Revis comparisons), Nassib Basically, I don't think WR is value top ten and Patterson can't run routes. Not a huge fan of Austin, but he could be a weapon at 13 if used properly. Not in love with Geno but I could live with him if Idzik and Marty think he's the guy, but he's the only QB I'd consider at all, I don't want Jones, or Ogletree for that matter, but I don't think anyone is considering Ogletree in the first 15 anyway. I don't really want a CB in the first round either. That just seems like we'd be asking a lot of that kid. What do you all have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbanmadmike1 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The Jets aren't taking Eifert at 13. They could trade down for him in the mid 20s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Ugh. Read the post. This isn't predicting trade downs. You're already ruining it!!! It's what he does. It's why we let him back. It's why he's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFtoLong Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The Jets aren't taking Eifert at 13. They could trade down for him in the mid 20s though. Eifert may not be there at 9, let alone 13 or even in the 20's. We are not talking about a blocking TE here, we are talking about an offensive weapon. TE's who are properly used change the game. If Gronk was healthy in the SB, the Giants don't win their 2nd SB. He is going to go much higher than people think, and I would have zero problem with the Jets taking him at 9 if they believe in him. I would strongly prefer him over any WR available in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Eifert will probably be better than Keller but he doesn't have Gronk or Graham's upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet fans act like because we got burnt with Brady and Becht 10-15 years ago that TE's don't have value. It's a totally different TE these days.

Smashmouth Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The Jets aren't taking Eifert at 13. They could trade down for him in the mid 20s though. With the recent popularity of the big play TE and teams attacking the middle of the field more and more, you may see TE's getting a lot of attention in the coming years. Getting the best at number 13 is not out of the question especially when your team just got rid of a big pussy at the position. If you think we can trade out of 9 or 13 and still get this kid then I agree but I think no matter how we do it we need to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need impact players on both sides of the ball, preferably on offense. And 5'8 receivers scare the living crap out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say Sign Braylon and draft another WR in round 2 which would give us Braylon, Kerley, Hill, and the second rounder ...... Holmes should be sent the hell out of here next year the bitch was forced to take a pay cut I wonder how that turns out lol . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things change man remember when RB's used to be the big first round choice ? Where are they now ? While I think its a really stupid trend in the NFL to not draft the RB early its a trendy league and the trendy teams fail and the teams that do it their way (Steelers/Pats/Niners) always seem to draft better than everyone else .

This is very true, but I will say I completely understand why the RB has lost value in the NFL. It has become such a passing league, that short of an Adrian Peterson freak, RB's just cannot carry a team the way the used to be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
