DRJETS Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 knowing that the Jets got it right with Richardson or this year 1st overall (at the very least top3)? Which one? Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 On paper, Tampa Bay looked like they were addressing all of their defensive weaknesses, and like that had a chance at posting an average passing offense, and a great rushing offense. I would taken the 2013 pick, because it was a known commodity - being a top 15 pick - rather than gamble that they finish that bad again after attacking weaknesses in FA so aggressively. It's not a fair question when you add the "knowing they got it right" part. It comes down to being glad they took a top 15 pick plus an escalating 4th rounder, rather than gambling that the Bucs would be terrible... which didn't look to be the case based on the moves they made. I'm content with the transaction we made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRJETS Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 If we're getting a do-over, I'd rather have traded Revis for Aaron Rodgers. At the time, when Rodgers was sliding down in the first round, I was begging for the Jets to jumps to the first round to grab him from the second since we didn't had a first round in that year.

So, your answer is that you rather keep Richardson instead of this year probably numero uno overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 If we're getting a do-over, I'd rather have traded Revis for Aaron Rodgers. I think you mean Mike Nugent & Doug Jolley & Cedric Houston instead of Aaron Rodgers, which is the actual choice we made. Now go shoot yourself like any self-respecting Jets fan would.

billo83 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 There's too many unknowns at this point IMO to say one way another. First off, I think JAX will have the #1 pick and don't think it's even close. They are 0-16 Lions bad. The Vikes look atrocious as well. I think that's your 1 and 2 right there. The Bucs have 9 games left and anything can happen, plus I think there's more talent there than the record shows. So I don't think they will definitely be top 3 when all is said and done. If that's the case, it changes the whole dynamic of this hypothetical (assuming that the target is Bridgewater). As I mentioned in another thread, if the Jets had the 2014 pick, you just know the Bucs would win enough games to be out of the top 5. The other thing too is we don't know what Geno will look like at the end of year. Will he show enough to be considered the future (again assuming the target would be Bridgewater). Plus who knows if Bridge will work out? He's not the next PM or AL. All that being said if I had to choose, I take SR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 With perfect hindsight, I'd take Richardson at 9, Kiko Alonso or Keenan Allen in the 2nd, and watch the Jaguars take Teddy at #1 leaving us having to take Clowney into an already crowded DL. Cuz that's how we roll as Jets fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 You make me sad. Want to laugh a little? I just looked up a thread about this from the old country (the day Bradway made that trade which - like in 2003 - was made prior to draft day before we even knew who would be there and who wouldn't). One of the dumbest trades ever. Wanted to see who liked the trade and who didn't like it at the time. Bitonti loved it (as did JonE and others). Doggin94it and Jason423 hated it (or at a minimum thought it was totally empty-headed to do it before seeing who was available to us first instead of guessing 2 days earlier). What I didn't remember was that we picked at #26 originally. Oakland traded up 3 slots to #23 for Fabian Washington. Everyone initially thought that OF COURSE they're trading up to take Rodgers. Nope. Norv Turner loved Tuiasosopo for the future, after coaching him first-hand for the whole prior season, and thought they didn't need Rodgers. How this guy keeps getting jobs - GOOD jobs - is beyond my comprehension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, the trend will continue with Geno Whoever wrote this got my vote "Excuse me...I'm going to go outside and pleasently kill myself."

SenorGato Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'd trade him for a barrel of plutonium, a unicorn, and some Starburst. Oh, I get it. See they can't get those things, and if they did it would do nothing towards putting out a better football team! Sheldon Richardson is going to be a monster.

SenorGato Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 To think that they could have kept Revis, still landed Richardson, still landed Smith, and only had to pay Wilkerson and Revis over the next 3-4 years. Too bad the NFL could never allow that to happen, NFL players might get ideas/uppity about contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How this guy keeps getting jobs - GOOD jobs - is beyond my comprehension. Well, I laughed twice. First when I clicked the link and was reminded that I was banned for life in the "old country". Next when I flashed back to the reality of the twisted brain trust that made personnel decisions back in the day. Eff-me. Like I needed another slap upside the head to remind me of how futile being a lifelong fan of this team can be. At least I have seen one Jets' Super Bowl win in my lifetime and had one magical season with Mets', Jets' and Knicks' championships in the same season. Yeah, the Rangers ****ed me in the ass, without the benefit of a kiss or lube, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double post due strictly to a lagging server (kind of like our OLB's and DB's) -- not my own ineptitude or altered state of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
