JetNation Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The NFL combine is under way and of course that means rumors of trades, draft targets and free agent interest will be an ongoing occurrence for the Jets and every other team in the NFL. One rumor making the rounds at the moment appears to be Gang Green’s interest in former Giants running back Orleans Darkwa. #Jets interested in ex-#Giants running back Orleans Darkwa, source says https://t.co/VVQQ4gfCaR — Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) March 1, 2018 The Star Ledger’s Connor Hughes claims that an unnamed source has confirmed that the Jets are in fact interested in the 6′ 210 lb Darkwa who ran for a career high 751 yards for the Giants last season after assuming the starting role in week five. Darkwa’s 751 yards at 4.4 yards per carry to go along with 5 touchdowns is impressive enough for a player with just 11 starts, but considering the sad state of the Giants offensive line makes it that much more eye-opening. Without a power back on the roster, Darkwa would make sense. Click here to read the full story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetscreen Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Well, we need a replacement for Forte. Unless Mac drafts a RB high, McGuire should be the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a great running back draft, if we fail to take one early it would be criminal. Darkwa is a back up RB. We've seen what Powell is. And McGuire didn't show anything last year to lead anyone to think he has #1rb upside. We need an elite RB, or at least a player with that type of upside. Darkwa is a plan B or C.

TJ Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Jets never draft rbs high. We should use one of our seconds on a back: Michel, Jones, etc. This stuff is no bueno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Straw Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yes, yes...definitely spend lots of money on free agent running backs because those are impossible to find in the middle rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
