will Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 i hope they will take the best player regardless of position but until they move Chad (trade or cut) they cannot take another number 1, because it would kill any trade leverage they have. teams wouldn't believe that the Jets really "need" Chad if there were 2 other young bucks on the roster and would just wait for the Jets to cut him, which the Jets would have to do. Not necesserily true: If the Jets decide they love, say, Woodson, then they might flip Clemens and keep Chad. Or they can decide which offer for either player is more worth taking.

Maybe so. But the Jets got a draft pick and a pretty good defensive lineman for Brooks Bollinger, if memory serves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Only positions I think are absurd at #6: KR (lol) Tedd Ginn Jr's agent is on line 2 for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I believe they gave up around 50 sacks. That team couldn't pass block to save their lives. The Pitt line didn't have their best year. But Big Ben holds his balls longer than Smizzy. That didn't help the sack total. Not sure what impact it had for Smizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 You mean like taking a 4-3 DE that most have rated at ~#15 (some at ~#20), taking him at #6, and playing him at OLB? Yes, that too. I don't want us drafting Gholston either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#90 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 We need to draft two O-Linemen within our first three picks! Things are that bad:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysd Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 D'Brick is fine at Left Tackle and I don't think either he or Long/Oher are making the switch to RT. We have to wait until the combine before we can properly judge each player. The problem is right now there doesn't seem to be any obvious studs available at #6. The best option may be trading down. While I agree, who is going to trade up? The fact that there is NO consensus whatsoever at 6 on even a good player to pick means that it is also very unlikely someone will want to go up and grab him. The only remote possibility of trqading down is if McFadden falls to 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khesanh Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Ive been replaying the Patriots games on my Tivo.They have 1 hell of an OFFENSIVE LINE.These guys are like clockwork and perfection.Games are won in the trenches fits this team. A 1st tound pick on an offensive lineman is ok by me if it will help win games. Wuick question guys how many first round picks so the pat have on their O-line? I think it is just good scouting from their front office as much as that pains me to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yes, that too. I don't want us drafting Gholston either. You're not arguing with me? Go to hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be some pretty decent players who fit 4-3 schemes, the likes of Sedrick Ellis out of USC looks like a pretty good player who just wouldn't fit our system. There are also some teams who could be after a QB. IMO there should be some pretty decent trading options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McFadden is here at 6 I expect Dallas to come a knocking with their 2 1st rounders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 If McFadden is here at 6 I expect Dallas to come a knocking with their 2 1st rounders Jerry Jones may be an Arkansas man, but he is not an idiot. Marion Barber III is an absolute beast and he knows it. Darren McFadden has no chance of being a Dallas Cowboy as long as MB III is breathing.

NYDreamer Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Without a doubt the game is won in the trenches. You need your Qb to stand up right and your running back holes to run through. So yes, I have no problem drafting another O-line RT (not guard) in the first. Oher is going back for his senior year. http://www.gbnreport.com/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
