Jetscode1 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Draftguys had a nice summary of all the players the JETS have shown interest in. Thought I'd pass it on. by Andrew Garda on 04/09/09 Another week has gone by and another group of players have begun visiting teams. As always, some of these updates are rumors, some are confirmed and some of these visits will ultimately not lead to anything. But every detail is important as we close in on Draft Day and all of it is accumulating here. New York Jets Offense QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 With all the Cornerbacks we have if we waste a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th round pick on a Cornerback I will scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one WR on that list, and 11 LB's and CB's. I smell diversion tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aten Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 There's one WR on that list, and 11 LB's and CB's. I smell diversion tactics. It's not a diversion tactic. The list is just incomplete. They all are. Every team talks to a hundred players every draft season. Trying to keep track of all of them is ridiculous. We've brought in at least half a dozen receivers including Harvin, Britt, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wonder what would have happened if Darren McFadden and Vernon Gholston were on the board at #6 last year. All the DMC love REEKED of smoke-screen to me. That's Tannenbaum for ya, a real card-shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot. i still believe in VG. it took Mike Vrabel 7 years before he was a great 3-4 OLB. ***** several names I think the Jets are most interested in... QB – Mark Sanchez (USC) QB – Josh Freeman (Kansas State) RB – Knowshon Moreno (Georgia) RB – Rashad Jennings (Liberty) RB – Donald Brown (UCONN) TE – Brandon Pettigrew (Oklahoma State) DE – Connor Barwin(Cincinnati) LB – Scott McKillop (Pitt) CB – Darius Butler (UCONN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell good is it to us if VG breaks out AFTER his rookie contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 what do you think of freeman ? I'm starting to think he is on the jets radar as well I think it's a smoke screen, they are interested but will pass if he's there, JMO. Also he might not be there. In the end I don't know that another rookie QB solves the Jets inexperience problem at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you're just taking names from the list. yes just from the list also keep in mind these players are probably on the NE and MIA short lists as well... the Jets are scouting these players partly because if they don't draft them, chances are good they will have to prepare for them in the regular season more than once.

He reminds me of a young Culpepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Not to deify him, but if Rex Ryan can't get Gholston to be a productive player within the next couple seasons who can? I don't even care that much if he's one dimensional as long as that dimension is as a pass rusher. Exactly. One of the main problems I feel with Gholston was that Mangini was asking and expecting too much of him. He made things more complex for him than he should have IMO. Gholston knew one things coming out of college, getting to the QB. That's what Mangini should have been focusing on with him last season, that's what he was drafted to do - Rush the passer, Not drop into coverage. I think Ryan will make the most of his talent and we'll know within the next year or two whether Gholson can actually play or not. There's a huge possibility that I'm putting far too much blame on Mangini and that Vernon is a flat out bust but I still have faith that he'll come good under Ryan.

I am scared ****less of it...he is the one guy last year that I didnt want to touch in the draft...but I am reserving hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to beat a dead horse, but it still pisses me off that we won that meaningless game at the end of that season to drop us down a few spots. The decision was more made for us than by us.

I was just hoping he was drafted before we selected, and he wasnt offcourse and now he is on the Jets and I can only hope Rex can make him into a Football player.
