Ryno the Jet Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80edcba5 Quinn from NC doing better than expected in regards to his athleticism. Known as a blocking TE, this guy could be available for the Jets as a replacement for Baker. Maybe round 3 or so? Any of you Tarheads have the scoop on this kid?

KudosForND Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 we got keller and Franks why do we need another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war ensemble Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I don't want to go blocking TE in round 3. I'd prefer if we just got a somewhat athletic backup tackle to block on goalline with Franks in 2 TE sets--we're going to be running most of the time anyways. A solid blocking TE doesn't merit a third rounder when we have so many other holes to fill first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno the Jet Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 we got keller and Franks why do we need another? Keller is not a blocker. Franks is a FA if I am not mistaken, but regardless, he has one foot in the grave and was not impressive last year. The Jets need a guy that can serve as a third tackle, but still athletic enough to get open and catch a pass. Baker would be fine, but he will be more expensive than a rookie like Quinn. Quinn can be signed to a lengthy deal for a lot less coin. The trade off is that you know what you are getting with Baker, while Quinn is unproven. Having a capable inline TE allows Keller to excel at what he does best, which is abuse the poor unfortunate souls that are assigned the task of covering him. IMO, this draft has enough TE depth that the Jets do not need to resign Baker. They will not have to use an early pick or spend a fortune to replace him.

SenorGato Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 My favorite two for us to compliment Keller are John Phillips or Jared Bronson. Those guys are going to be very good pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVM Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 If they want a TE they outta look at Devon Drew out of ECU, he'd be a very late pick and the dude is straight up clutch. He's very versatile, and should be a great pickup where he'd be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryno the Jet Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 ROUND 5 maybe. but we got another needs We got 27 mil worth of cap room to address those needs as well. There is a ton of TE depth in this year's draft, so I would prefer not to spend more than we would have to at the position. Why bother when you can sign someone like Jim Kleinsasser to do the exact same job? The upside of some of these TEs make the gamble worth the risk.

Ryno the Jet Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 team needs (before FA this is kinda silly, but here I go anyway) QB CB WR ILB DE RB OG S TE According to Rex, QB is not a need. There are decent CBs in FA and a few in the draft. The Jets could go WR at #1 and they may add another via FA or a late round project. ILB will likely be Lewis or Scott. DE is not a necessity, but Haynesworth would be awesome as a 34 DE (IMO 124, and I know it is a pipe dream). OG will be in the draft I would think, unless Moore is resigned. Safety is rumored to be Leohnard. That leaves plenty of room to draft a TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Sign a FA, don't use a draft pick. And if we do, choose a TE in the later rounds. I'd love for the Jets to find a TE they like well enough to draft in the middle rounds. They need a real player there. A blocker who's a threat to catch a pass. Whoever our inexperienced QB is, he'll benefit from the extra blocker/big body to throw to. This is an important position, not one to wait on undrafted FA's. That's where you get kickers.
