BigOrangeJetFan Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I thought you needed an offensive line for a back to be successful. Don't we need a nose tackle and some O line help first? Drafting a back would doom us to more 3-4 win seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Jets can get lucky in the mid to late rounds, but I don't see anyone early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should get a pass rusher or another corner if we go defense (no big NT good enough for rd1), and a WR or OL if we go offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawngnome o-line Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 If we are the have the 3rd or 4th pick in the draft and McFadden is still there then its a no-brainer to pick him based off value. Even though alot of people don't like the idea - and its similar to the Reggie Bush scenerio in N.O., its the best idea unless they find a suiter who would pay us off in picks.

Yeah and hows that Reggie Bush deal looking for the Saints now? Im sure they wouldve preferred an OL/DLman if you asked now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Jet Fan Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 My problem w/ taking McFadden is more about what do we do w/ Jones/Leon... I understand adding a playmaker to this mundane offense but we have TJ signed for a few more years and I want to see Leon get MORE touches not less.

I don't care how much money they have to eat. Cut him. Thomas Jones ****ing sucks. As for Leon, I don't think he's an every down guy. We wouldn't know though, because for some reason, a 3-11 team feels the need to give its crappy 30 year old RB 25 carries and its electrifying second year RB one in a completely meaningless game.

KINGDIRK Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Yes we need to improve the Oline but Rome wasnt built in a day. And this franchise aint getting things turned around over night. You select McFadden because he is the best player in the draft. Period. Its up to Tangini to get creative via the draft and free agency to upgrade the Oline.

gsnts725 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 i say drafting Chris Long since he fits really nice at the DE spot in the 3-4 or trade down to get more picks. Perhaps picking up OL and DL men along the way or even a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing that Thomas Jones somehow managed to gain a thousand yards running behind perhaps the worst offensive line in the history of the NFL and the most predictable 1st down playcalling we have ever seen, how many 2 yard runs did we see on 1st down this season? I'd have to say close to a hundred-he ain't the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps picking up OL and DL men along the way or even a RB. yeah, I think that Long makes the most sense considering team needs and draft position, but there are some appealing DEs going into FA this year too(Jared Allen,T.Suggs, J.Smith) Mcfadden would be tough to pass up if he is sitting there for us. Off topic but I believe Albert Haynesworth is an UFA going into 08, and is one of the premier DTs in the game. Haynesworth has been banged up this season, but when he is starting for the Titans they go from being a push over against the run to a very respectable defensive line. He is only 26 and is listed at 6'6" 320lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more likely that we get a 3rd or 4th rder for him depending on his rehab time, and ability top pass any future physicals. The Lions are a team that could possibly looking for an upgrade at MLB in the 4-3, unless they think Paris Lenon is the answer, but my opinion is that he is not. Suggs is interesting because he is the kind of hybrid DE that Mangini could use as an OLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Why??? Try because he is the most talented player available a guy we can build a devastating offence around. We have to take him if available IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
