stoicsentry Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The receivers are a little deeper than I realized, lots of good 2's and 3's on there, 15-20 guys deep. Even if we can just walk away from free agency signing a couple of the guys in the 10-20 range (say, Cooper and Britt), that would help a lot. Similarly, most of the top 10 tight ends could help us, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewillie78 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Let's start with Golden Tate and Garret Graham and go from there. I just saw a mock (I believe on Yahoo) which has us taking Johnny Jets favorite receiver at #18, EVANS. If the Jets stay at 18, I love this pick. Dude is big, strong, and fights for the ball. Pair him with one of your FA's and we are set at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Danario Alexander seems like an Idzik guy. He has WR1 ability so I'd be on board signing him as long as it's coupled with ANOTHER free agent receiver for when Danario inevitably gets hurt.

Larz Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 QB - Shaun Hill - 33, career 85 rating, almost 1,000 pass attempts in the league OG - resign colon. he's the 3rd highest rated OG available. ouch overall a very "meh" group. there will be no Favre, Tomlinson, moment in this off season, no big names for jets fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, the talent we bring in via the draft will be most important. # 2 is Big Mo's extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The defensive names look better than the offensive ones. I think that's where most of the big money is gonna go. I'd take Hill, Henne, or Flynn as a backup/potential starting QB. A lot of WR names. I'd like to see them land a Maclin, Decker, Tate, or Nicks, and then maybe another guy lower on the list for small money after the market dries up. Wish the TE list was more impressive.

MexiRoll6 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I feel like Dexter McCluster makes some sense. I would love to have a back with his speed. Goodson looked like that guy but couldn't stay out of trouble. McCluster is a Sproles type and would be great on slip screens and sideline dumpoffs and could make a lot of YAC yards.

I like Orakpo if he can be had for a reasonable amount of $$. He is a 10+ sack guy in this defense and would have a huge impact on an already good D. Assuming the QBs go early in the draft, the guy I think makes sense to compete with Geno is Blaine Gabbert. He's still only 23 or 24 and he was on some god awful teams in Jax. I'd rather see Gabbert than Flynn or Henne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could reneg Cro and Harris, sign two safeties, a WR and Orakpo. Resign Colon and Howard and then draft offensive skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 McCluster is basically a wide receiver now. Hardly ever see him in the backfield. Seems like something they might be looking for if you consider the desire for Austin and the way they used Cribbs. This is why a bunch of us like the idea of Black Mamba or Dri Archer. Mornhinweg and Geno have had success with guys that seem like punt returners. Ironic that they Jets don't have a punt returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a terrible QB. He wasn't the only reason. I see all of these posts about drafting manziel, or bridgewater or signing a FA. Peyton Manning isn't coming here....neither is Rodgers, Luck, Ryan, etc... People need to come to terms with the reality of the QB situation. The top guys will be gone at 18, the Jason Campbells of the world are garbage, and Geno probably isn't the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High ceiling, low cost, extensive injury history, athletically gifted, not afraid of guys who have not played in a bit. Everyone of the following signings is covered by the majority of those criteria: Garrard, Goodson, Ivory, Colon, Peterman, Winslow, Garay, Massoquoi and Titus Ryan. I would like the signing. Work him out if he is okay, sign him for 3 years cheapish and keep the bonus low so you can dump him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the guys Idzik signed had injury concerns that went well beyond a season. Hell, they had more than one guy on a "pitch count" in practice. Colon and Goodson went down again.

I'm really hoping that this was his M.O., for this past, cap-strapped off-season...and that we won't be dumpster diving for talent throughout his tenure. Every now and then you need to pony up for a stud. I think he learned that in Seattle [see: Sydney Rice, Marshawn Lynch, Percy Harvin, etc] *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deepest FA talent is at CB, I think the Jets could dip into this market if someone gives Cromartie a decent contract after we cut him, or even go in another direction than Cromartie if that's what Idzik want to do. And if the Bills are stupid enough to not franchise Byrd, the Jets better have a welcome wagon at his front stoop, and a blank check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
