Barton Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 alright the olsen pick is not going to happen and I will accept the sig and avatar bet on one condition.

Here's draftdaddys top 15 from their top 32 list http://draftdaddy.com/prospects/top100.cfm 1. WR Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech 2. OT Joe Thomas, Wisconsin 3. DT Adam Carriker, Nebraska 4. RB Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma 5. QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame 6. DB LaRon Landry, LSU 7. QB Jamarcus Russell, LSU 8. DE Jamaal Anderson, Arkansas 9. DE Gaines Adams, Clemson 10. OT Levi Brown, Penn State 11. DT Alan Branch, Michigan 12. CB Chris Houston, Arkansas 13. DT Amobi Okoye, Louisville 14. LB Patrick Willis, Mississippi 15.

Pragmatic Bus Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 What? Blalock has the talent be a potential pro-bowl OG or possibly even a pro-bowl RT in the pros. The only guy that comes close to him is Ben Grubbs who will probably be gone by the early 2nd round at the latest. Like I said, it's also very possible that Balock will be the best player available when we pick at #25. I guarantee that the Jets are high on him. It was already reported at the combine that when he met with the Jets, they put him through the same test that they put Robert Meachem through. They asked him what were the names of the six staff memebrs in the room and he got 5 of the six names right. They awarded him with a jersey afterwards for his knowledge. The guy is known as an incredibly smart player and was a team captain for the Longhorns. This guy is the mauler that we desperately need to open up holes in the running game. Make no mistake about it, Justin Blalock is high on the Jets draft board. ben grubbs is rated higher than blalock. and blalock is not a sure probowl player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangini no doubt wants smart players. However, he doesn't want players that are too smart or else they figure out your motivation techniques and it could get old for the playrs real fast. BB and BP both talk about not wanting players that are too smart. 5 out of 6 might just be too smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEJet Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Shhhhhh Barton The real genius on this board, Sir Spermy said Blalock is the pick Sure don't want to disagree with pure "genious" Spending $$$$$ for 3 1st round OLinemen is pure insanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionelRichie Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 if possible i think the jets trade down and out of the first rd. mangini is still rebuilding the team and if the jets can add an '08 1st rd pick to move down, i see it as a no-brainer. i think blalock is a great pick, just maybe not that high.

Ghost Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Blalock would be our best choice, I don't think picking a CB, DT, DE in the first round is better then picking Blalock. The Jets are going to pick Blalock in this years draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragmatic Bus Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 blalock would be a reach at 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drago Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 blalock would be a reach at 25 Not with how the market has been lately with Guards. Even if he is only above average in the NFL, people will still covet him as they did Steinbach which would then give us trade leverage. Can never have enough good O-linemen. I remember in 04 having a top five (debatably) O-line blocking for a slowing C-Mart, and still got him the rushing title. Jones, and Washington are better runners than Martin, and Jordan; we need to give them a good enough line to let them do their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Jets are commited to having an excellent O-line, as evidenced by their drafting two in the first round last year. But Mangini is a defense guy and has to be bummed about the run defense last year and the lack of pass rush. So, given the choice, and considering the options available later in the draft at Guard, I just don't see him picking an O-lineman first unless all other options are gone. I think he would take Ross, Revis, Spencer and perhaps Harrell before he considers Blalock or Grubbs (though I think he'd take Blalock over Meacham, Bowe, Rice and the other excellent WRs that might be there at #25). Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno. This is just me here, but I get the feeling both mangini and belicheck are arrogant enough to think they don't need a ton of talent on defense to get the job done. It just seems like he wants to win, inspite of what he has. I don't watch enough college football to comment on the players you mentioned, if one of them is indeed a stud, tangini will take a defender. otherwise, get ready for blalock to be wearing green.

PeterNorth09 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yea thats what I meant. Anyways, I dont even think he's a possibility at 25, I really dont. I think it is much more likely we go with a WR at 25 than Justin Blalock. I think we go CB though. The Jets are drafting Drew Stanton and cutting Kellen Clemens.

EM31 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Justin Blalock will be a Jet. We are taking an offensive lineman 3 years in a row, mark my words. It is a LOCK that Justin Blalock is the pick at 25. Go ahead and disagree, but I will gladly bump this thread up the day after we draft an offensive lineman at 25. lol Barton this is liking betting on Red at the roulette table... sure your gonna win a lot more often... but nobody is really impressed by it....and it doesnt pay well... It is not like picking red at a roulette table. It is more like picking "not zero" at a roulette table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "market" has been great for everybody. It's a player's market. No need to get all caught up on guards. Drafting a guy for trade leverage is bad business and guard is among the least valued positions. All things being equal you don't pick the OG.

Drafting a guy for trade leverage is bad business and guard is among the least valued positions. All things being equal you don't pick the OG. I wouldn't think NYJ would draft on the hopes of trading, i'm saying they take blalock, get a great guard, and if they find they cannot afford him, his trade value would be high. And guard is not the least valued postion on the field anymore, i won't make a list or anything, but at the rate these guys are getting paid, its difficult to argue. Going through another year with Moore and Clement "anchoring" the right side is going to be as difficult to watch as it was in 06. Something has to give in the run blocking. That being said, RE needs a fix too, but in this draft i don't see too many quality ends available at 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
