BigOrangeJetFan Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Per Peter King, Jake Long will be available to us at #6. He will be the RT opposite our "C+" LT-DBrick.

CoachTsurfing Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 That would be fine with me. Either of the Longs, Gholston, or DMC. If none are available trade down or take the best cb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY JET 29 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 It's not gonna happen. I would expect Atlanta to take him. Even if Atlanta passed on him there's no way in hell KC passes on their dream OL for M.Ryan, or any other QB. That just won't happen. I don't even want J.Long. Look at my sig at my draft board. It's either Gholston, or a corner for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick34125 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 no way KC passes on Jake Long if he's there. In this mock the Jets either trade down or up. Otherwise they would go with Ellis or a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drago Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 No way in hell. I wouldn't mind him at RT but seeing him get destroyed by Gholston as a LT sort of drops his stock in my eyes. Gholston might be a stud at the next level, but i find it hard to believe he'll be better than every other speed rusher in the NFL. The other reason we won't take him is it's just too high a pick, and not a high enough need. I'd be happy with a RT with our second rounder, just not with our first.

The other reason we won't take him is it's just too high a pick, and not a high enough need. I'd be happy with a RT with our second rounder, just not with our first. Your logic is exactly why KC will pass on Jake Long if they like Ryan. There are plenty of good tackle prospects in this draft but only a single really good QB prospect (it seems KC feels this way about Ryan). And KC will draft again at the top of the second round where Herm can nab Baker or Nicks or Collins, etc. Further, Herm ignored the O-line in NY I so I dont see why he will change now. FWIW, I disagree about the need. I agree with King that Ferguson has been mediocre thus far in the NFL. He may improve but - if they cant trade the pick - I wouldn't mind having a LT prospect in hand with a year under his belt in the event that Ferguson continues to be what he's been so far: mediocre, or worse.

slats Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 It would be something of a surprise if Long lasted that long, and I could certainly accept King's concept: But here's my view if Ryan's there: The Jets will hold an auction and try to get two first-day picks for this slot. That would have to be their thinking at that point. They have so much money already invested on the OL that a tackle at #6 would just be too much. I'd think there'd be teams ready to move for the consensus #1 OT in the draft at #6, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 That mock is stupid. It's HIS opinion which is DIFFERENT than yours but it's NOT stupid. I assume the list is his preference as to who the Jets will pick in the 1st round. I seriously doubt he believes that McFadden will be taken in the 5th round. . If he does then I stand corrected and the mock is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scionce Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 jake long shouldn't be there by #6 and if he is, so what? i'd be more intrigued as to what tangini will do if both gholston and mcfadden are available @ #6. i'm really hoping that we can get gholston, long (chris) is a pipe dream at this point. but if neither gholston or long is available and mcfadden is, then give me dallas' 22 & 28 and whatever else we can take in trade.

The Jets shouldnt be interested in Jake Long except as a hedge against Ferguson's future progress. IMO. LT and a NT for the 3-4 are the hardest positions to fill, they are BY FAR the hardest positions for a player to play. Just the fact that Ferguson started his rookie season when we made the playoffs and started last year next to a backup LG is amazing. The kid has only been in the league for 2 seasons, this year we should see him turn into one of the best LT's in the league playing next to Faneca.

Boozer76 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Why not switch Long and Ferguson ? I bet Long is already better than Brick. Because your RT needs to be a big run blocking mauler. D'Brick would be horribly out of position and undersized to be a RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Why not switch Long and Ferguson ? I bet Long is already better than Brick. D'Brick is a pretty good LT and has been for us.

Irish Jet Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Pending they're available (I would have Chris Long #1 but I've accepted that there is no chance he's there) here's who I'd pick in order of preference: 1) Vernon Gholston 2) Darren McFadden 3) Leodis McKelvin 4) Matt Ryan 5) Jake Long That's also assuming that trading down is not an option.

HuRRiCaNe ViLMa Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 He won't be there, but if he is we HAVE to take him. I can't understand why anyone would say pass on Jake Long. We'd have the best O-Line in the game. He is an absolute beast at RT. Yes, Gholston burned him once for a sack, but he isn't as good at LT. But come on, that was the only sack he allowed all season. And he had ZERO penalties. He runs through people. If he is there at 6, the commish better be walking up to the podium with 9:59 left on the clock.
