Jetlife33 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Part of me thinks it's smart to draft defense in round 1. Especially if the top 3 wide outs are taken like they are projected to be. Rex is known for developing defensive talent, not offensive talent. The more I think about it the more it makes sense to go defense early on in the draft and sign receivers and "weapons" through free agency and also the later rounds of the draft. Especially because this draft is deep in receivers. PS If one of the top 3 receivers fall to 18 although unlikely please ignore whatever I just said about defense Go Jets!

Jetlife33 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 So... draft defense, unless we draft offense. Go Jets! I just think it would be better to draft defense then someone like Ebron if the top 3 guys are gone by #18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I guess it depends on what they sign in free agency before the draft. But right now our huge, huge need is for offense. If they don't sign some decent receivers before the draft, there is going to be hell to pay on draft day if they go defense. A receiver you sign later in the draft most likely will be a #3 receiver if he makes it all. This "picking someone up in the fourth round" business does not yield much percentagewise.

Integrity28 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I just think it would be better to draft defense then someone like Ebron if the top 3 guys are gone by #18 Just teasing. I want them to draft a guy that can contribute as a rookie, it doesn't matter what side of the ball he plays on. With that expectation, a position like safety or inside LBer might make sense, because those are the positions I've read adapt the NFL more quickly. I'm not big on 1st round offensive guards or tight ends, unless at pick 18 you are getting the top prospect at either position and they are can't miss.

I think Maclin makes too much sense only thing is the lost season last year. Have no idea how he'd rebound. I think it would help he doesn't need to learn a new system, he would just have to focus on being 100% healthy. Keep in mind I have no idea what his asking price is.

I should send that draft link to Idzik and Bradway so they can prepare for every scenario as it plays out in the first couple of rounds. They can even practice their trade up and trade down deals.

Signing receivers in free agency is a must. It's obviously the Jets biggest need, and they need to have it addressed -at least somewhat- before the draft. They need to be in a position where they don't have to reach for a WR or TE in the first round. Because I agree with you, the top three WRs are likely to be gone, and TE isn't generally a value at #18. It's likely that a pass rusher or CB will be there that presents better value. I also wouldn't be opposed to the Jets trading up a few slots for one of the big three WRs, as long as it wasn't too costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely be happy with trading up if it means we land one of the 3 receivers. Especially because the Jets have so many draft picks there's no way they all make the team. That pick from Tampa should be huge if we decide to trade up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I see so far out of Ebron is a weak blocker who drops the ball way too often when there's a defender near. He does have the physical talents like you mentioned though but I don't think it's worth it at 18. Agree with Amaro being even more of a reach.
