nj meadowlands Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'm actually into the WR idea if Meachem or Bowe are there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERMILL Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 NO WAY Total Smoke Screen- OLSEN maybe- but WR no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm in the receiver camp too. Getting big time talent like Bowe or Meachem would be an absolutely perfect situation. Coles probably has two years or so left here, which would allow them ease the rookie's transition into the NFL. By the third year (when young receivers generally break out), he would move into the starting lineup alongside Cotchery. This would also allow them to trade McCareins for whatever they can get. IMO, there just aren't many impact players you can possibly get at 25. Bowe and Meachem are two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonJet Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Absolutely. It's not like we already have a terrific Wide Receiver duo and don't have serious needs at CB, DE, and OG. Let's blow a pick on a position that is not even close to being a need, great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawngnome o-line Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 coles = 28 cotch = 25 smith = 23/24? mccareins = 27 we're young at WR and even if jmac gets moved...we still have a quality 1-2 punch for the next 4 or 5 years. we can pick up a WR in 2 or 3 years in the early rd or a FA. i'd rather take olsen and his fantastic blocking ability than a WR at 25.

I'm trying to think of a position the jets don't need right now, and all i can think of is WR, RB, Lt, Center, and water boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffyD Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm trying to think of a position the jets don't need right now, and all i can think of is WR, RB, Lt, Center, and water boy. Although I have a hard time getting excited about selecting a wr with the 1st round pick, I don't have a hard time with the front office selecting the best available player that falls into their laps even if it is a wr. Thinking long term, if we end up with one of the best wr in this draft class then we won't care that we "wasted" a first round pick on him when he's lighting it up in a few years. It's a long draft with a number of picks to be had, smart strategy says go with the best player available and everything else will work itself out. Remember, everyone poked fun at the patsies when they selected Watson when they already had a very good Graham. Look how that worked out for them. Just sayin'.

gang_green03 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 But no we don't need a 1st round WR unless CJ's there. Its a luxery pick that's not worth taking over all our other needs. We can get, at worst, similar value at other positions that we need so I wouldn't make sense to me. Thankfully Mecheam and Bowe should be gone by our pick. I don't like either of them anyway. I think I might even like Olsen better, but definitely no worse and TE is a bigger need, so I'd even take Olsen over either of them. Bowe is a possesion WR with questionable hands...pass Mecheam is a raw WR that was a one year wonder, reminds me somewhat of Ashley Lelie in that he's only a deep threat, and needs to learn how to run routes...pass Only WR I'd even give consideration to at 25 is Jarrett but I wouldn't take him either.

RSJ Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm not crazy about Bowe - but I like Meachem. I would not mind seeing a WR in the first if it is BAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightCash Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I agree, I think Coles is gonna be gone in a year or two, and by then hopefully we will have Cotchery, Smith, Meachem/Bowe. it also gives us the ability to ship J-Mac away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'd definitelty take Bowe if he was the BAP, not sure about Meachem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterNorth09 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I like Jason Hill from Wash St. He had a lackluster senior year but he was terrific his soph and junior seasons. He's fast and runs good routes and we can get him in the 2nd or 3rd round. Maybe later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe someone I've agreed with so much would be content with burning a first round draft pick on a player who will not start a football game for 2-3 years.

I'm not in "win now" mode. I am in "win in a year or two" mode. Coles will need to be replaced eventually. How are we gonna do that? The 25th pick isn't a primo position. You take the BAP. You don't reach on a lesser player just so you'll have an immediate starter. If there is a better player than Meachem or Bowe on the board at 25, then I hope the Jets take them. Just don't tell me we should take someone like Greg Olsen instead because it will net us a 2007 starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't tell me we should take someone like Greg Olsen instead because it will net us a 2007 starter. I don't want Olsen. But I'd like someone who will be starting before his 3rd season with a first-round pick. If you want to take a player to ride the pine for a couple of years, grab such a player in round 3 or later. Even a late first-rounder should net an instant-starter. That's what separates a first-round talent from a 2nd-round talent. 2nd rounders (generally) also have high upside and are very talented, but they may be a little more on the raw side. First rounders have that talent & are more polished. Or at least that's what you're shooting for. If we're not getting someone we view as an immediate (or by next year) starter, then trade down 10 slots & pick up a 3rd rounder in the process; we'll still end up with 4 more day one picks that way.
