hoping4ASuperBowl Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Rich Cimini, reporting for the Sporting News, reports look for the New York Jets to pick an offensive lineman on the first day of the draft. Even though their biggest need is right tackle, it wouldn't be a surprise if they picked Auburn OG Ben Grubbs with their first-round pick (25th overall). They have two solid guards in OG Brandon Moore and OG Pete Kendall, but Kendall may play only one more year, and they need to groom a replacement. The team needs serious help to improve the running game. Ben Grubbs isnt expected to go in the first round anyways, why would we waste our first round pick for him if he might be available in the second? Also why not get a OT if thats more of a glaring problem then OG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smizzy Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 If the O-line prospects are better than the D-line prospects at that point ,i'm ok with it. Just because we drafted 2 O-lineman in rd 1 last yr doesn't mean the O-line is fixed. Both lines need a lot of work and I'm hoping the make the right decision.

Depending on who's available I'd be OK with this. Also, there are no RTs worth taking in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have no problems with the Jets spending first round picks on linemen. Offensive or Deffensive this team needs linemen. Games are won and lost in the trenches boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 You can't spend too much on your line. It can put an average QB/RB in the pro bowl and keep them out of the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionelRichie Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 i can't stand the idea of using a 1st rd pick on a guy who is being groomed as a replacement. i'd like to think that the jets are capable of finding a solid starter with the #25 pick in the draft. if they want to groom a player to replace kendall then draft him in the 3rd or 5th rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
