gangreenman Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Brad Smith is our #3. Clearly, he is awesome and this is not a need at all. I wouldnt be surprised to see Stuckey come to TC and preseason and take over as the #3 spot. I also would not be totally shocked to see Keller lining up as the #3 WR at some points throughout the year. Anyway, we have a bigger need at the #1 WR spot than the #3 spot.

Well, it's hard to draft a guy and have him come in immediately as the #1. We need someone that can be the #1 two years from now, but at this point in the draft, I doubt we'll find anyone that fits that bill. We still need to infuse some youth in the position before the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I wouldnt be surprised to see Stuckey come to TC and preseason and take over as the #3 spot. I also would not be totally shocked to see Keller lining up as the #3 WR at some points throughout the year. Anyway, we have a bigger need at the #1 WR spot than the #3 spot. I think they are figuring Chansi Stuckey will be OK this year-he can catch the ball and is a perfect slot guy. Either that or I suspect they have something in mind maybe a trade for a vet receiver or perhaps pick up like a Donte Stallworth who was released by NE. Also we HVE some trade bait-we have Chris Baker who pretty much quit on us and was replaced yesterday and I still hold out the hope that Chad Pennington is NOT on this team by July. As for Brad Smith as a WR? He's a good special teamer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsman1 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Chansi Stuckey will be our slot-#3 receiver this season along with Dustin Keller.Keller is going to be on the field in a wide receiver position a LOT this season I believe, along with Chris(cry-baby)Baker at TE.Stuckey is very good,but got hurt before he could really show it.He has explosive quickness which makes up for his average speed.He can get deep for us and open the field as will Keller.They will both stretch defenses and allow Coles and Cotchery to eat up the short and intermediate routes.Lots of YAC this year as the defenses will be spread out more giving receivers more room to run after the catch.

TaborJet Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Not one mention of our brand-spanking new TE, Keller. He is a pass-catching threat down the middle of the field. Something we haven't seen here since the Johnny Mitchell days. I feel lucky to have him on the team, minus the head-case. So in an indirect way, we did address the issue. I guess the Jets FO had him ranked higher than any WR on the board at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Chansi Stuckey has done as much in the pros as any WR in this draft. It's foolish to count on him. We need to throw multiple guys at the wall and see who sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets made it as obvious as they possibly could that they like Keller better than any WR in this draft. The man's a receiver in a small TE's body. I expect to see him on the field a lot as a second TE, H-back, and slot WR. Our offensive coordinator came from the Chargers and Antonio Gates. I'm sure he has some ideas on how to utilize this guy. The Smith bashing on this site is over the top, IMHO. It frequently takes WR's who played WR in college three years for the light to come on at the NFL level, I think a WR who played QB in school should have the same cushion. He's got all the physical tools, and got some much needed on field experience last year. I'm looking forward to seeing him play this season. If Stuckey can stay healthy, he could potentially be an answer at WR, too. That said, I'd love for them to select a big target before the draft's over.

I also think you under estimate how important it is to have a good back up behind your starter in this league. My opinion on Baker is that he is the best all around TE we have, and I dont believe they drafted Keller with the idea of having him replace Baker as the full time TE. Maybe down the road in a year or two, but certainly not now. Keller was drafted to be used as a weapon in the passing game, but he needs to add some size and improve his blocking before we can feel comfortable throwing him out there as a 3 down player in 1 TE formations. Im not sure I want to downgrade from Baker to Franks either. I dont know how the situation with Baker will play out, but Im not ready to say screw him, he should hit the road.

Now Baker cant afford to complain to the media because the CS can easily burry him on the bench behind Keller and Franks. Not saying thats the only reason we drafted Keller, but it certainly is an added benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
