### The Official Draft Day One Discussion Thread ###

[Maxman]

It is draft day, let's go Joe Douglas!

Hopefully the Jets get off to a better start than I did. Was doing a little server cleanup and that is why the forums have been down for a bit.  All good now, let's go Jets!

[mrcoops]

Really hoping for an Offensive Tackle today - and really hope that one we like doesn't go at 13 or 14.

My preference is Skoronski, Johnson, Jones, Wright.  If we miss out on those guys, Harrison after a trade down would be nice too.

[JetsFanatic]

Pick us a winner Joe!!!!!

[joewilly12]

Let’s continue building a winner ..

[Bobby816]

Hoping for one of these guys in this order today....

 

1. Paris Johnson

2. Peter Skoronski

3, Broderick Jones

4. JSN

5. Darnell Wright

Oh... you SOB. You broke up my morning routine.

Charlotte Jets fans, we always have a draft party.   About 50 or so of us will get together tonite.

We're a winner?

Aaron Rogers is a Jet, the Knicks won a playoff series, Rangers/Devils , and the NFL draft tonight. Im pretty much (more than usual) useless at work today. ?

This is great!!!!!!

[undertow]

I expect a lineman but wouldn't be upset if they drafted another weapon and addressed the line in the 2nd, trade, or cuts.  Probably Wright or Jones....I'm doubting a trade back I don't really see that kind of talent available that someone would be willing to trade up for much.

[Big_Slick]

I hope we come away with insurance for Becton.

[Joe W. Namath]

You need to pick a player at 15 that will help Aaron Rodgers immediately.  We have 5 starting oline in Brown, Tomlinson, McGovern, AVT, Becton.  So taking oline at 15, you are taking a player that will not be on the field unless of an injury.

So the pick needs to be JSN.  He steps in as an immediate starter in the slot.  You might have to trade up to get him.  If that is the case, do it Joe!!!!!!!!!

Get JSN at any cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Green Ghost]

10 more hours and I won’t have to see any more mock drafts until next February!

I’m SO going to miss reading about who you guys rank as your 4th best RG and whether you want to trade up or down.

vontae mack at any cost. Can't have both. The paper only has one name on it.

[Larz]

[Warfish]

OT, Center, WR, LB, DT, Safety.

All needs as of right now.

So at least we'll have options.

Any cost? Absolutely not. If he's available? Sure.  Doubt he is though, can't see him getting past greenbay

And for the record, based on injury history alone, an OT will be a year 1 contributer. 

[Sarge4Tide]

CONFESSION:  I already think our 1st round pick is a bust......

[prime21]

I got the annual "OMG Football just finished" comment from the wife.

I called this after all the film study I did on him. What were the Jets thinking?

Brown and Becton can't be relied on.

Rodgers likes Lazard as the big slot.  Doubt the jets are thinking this.

Neither can a rookie.

[slats]

I want the WR. Give me JSN. Let’s load Rodgers up with weapons. Would also put them in position to pivot and trade Davis for -hopefully- a third or fourth rounder this year. 
 
Better WR group, more cap room, and another player in the top 130 or so.

I don't know if the 3rd or 4th best OL will be able to step right into a starting role.... we will need to rely on Becton & Brown. All we can do for an immediate band-aid is to sign a Fant type player.

[Green Ghost]

Has everyone here picked out the table they will be pounding tonight?

 

 

[kevinc855]

Prob going to be a tackle.....hoping for a DURABLE and reliable starter for Rodgers

I don’t see a wr in the first round, but rather a later round target.  

I am beginning to accept the reality that there’s a decent chance the pick tonight is a DL, either at 15 or back, and then tomorrow a center and/or OT.

I’d also take a DL over an OL, as I see it as the greater need, but JSN would give JD a real shot at back-to-back OROYs. 
 
I think trading back is a genuine possibility this year, too. More so than usual.

Slow twitch, 6'5 guys are not slot receivers.  Lazard belongs on the outside.  

JSN!!  JSN!!! JSN!!!!

No way the top 4 are gone by 15
