SoFlaJets Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Report says Quinn could Jet to New York April 23, 2009 Brady Quinn to the Jets? The Browns are actively shopping Quinn, QB Derek Anderson and WR Braylon Edwards, and they could trade Quinn to the Jets if they select USC QB Mark Sanchez with the fifth pick in Saturday's draft, CBSsports.com is reporting. Wouldn't that be something, Eric Mangini supplying his former team with a quarterback? No matter what the Jets say publicly about Kellen Clemens & Co., they're determined to find a quarterback. It could be Quinn or Sanchez. Or, as the NFL Network suggested last night, it could be the Redskins' Jason Campbell. Sanchez could very well be available for the Browns. Seahawks GM Tim Ruskell, who owns the fourth pick, said he's not planning to draft a quarterback. There had been Sanchez-to-the-Seahawks speculation. If what he says is true (hard to tell this time of year), Sanchez will be there for Mangini. If Mangenius takes him, it looks like Quinn could head to the Jets. No word on what the compensation would be. Presumably, it would be at least a second-round pick. If Mangini passes on Sanchez, the former USC star could drop to the Jaguars at 8, where the Redskins and Jets would be in a scramble to get him. If the Redskins get him, they'd try to trade Campbell. Enter, the Jets. If Mangini picks WR Michael Crabtree (starting to look unlikely), he'd then try to deal WR Braylon Edwards. It's going to be a wild draft day for the Jets, and it's looking more and more like they're going to emerge from the day with a new quarterback. Quinn, the former Notre Dame star, was the 22nd pick in the 2007 draft. He has played only four games, including three starts (1-2). He has completed 48 of 97 passes (49.5%) for 563 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions and a 65.8 passer rating.

SoFlaJets Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 While the focus this summer figures to be on who will be throwing the ball for the Jets, the spotlight at this weekend's NFL Draft could be on someone new to catch it. Wide receiver is a glaring need, and the Jets have to look long and hard at grabbing a receiver with their first-round pick, the 17th overall. Making the decision tougher is the belief that the top two receiving talents -- Michael Crabtree and Jeremy Maclin -- will be long gone by then. That leaves the Jets weighing whether to take a second-tier receiver or address one of their other needs. If they decide to go with a receiver, Maryland's Darrius Heyward-Bey and Florida's Percy Harvin likely will be the best receivers on the board at 17. Both players can fly but both have question marks. For Heyward-Bey, there's a question about his lack of productivity in college. With Harvin, there are off-the-field concerns. "I think that it's a very interesting decision for the Jets," said ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay. Heyward-Bey turned heads at the NFL Scouting Combine in February when he ran a 4.3 40-yard dash, the fastest of any player. But he never put up big numbers at Maryland, causing people to wonder if he's more than just a track star in cleats. "He can stretch the field," McShay said. "Now he needs some polishing and certainly is not a complete player at this point. But he can be an explosive, game-breaking type presence in the vertical passing game and I think the Jets could obviously use a player like that." There are no questions about what Harvin can do on a football field. As a member of the national-champion Gators, he was a dual running-receiving threat. Many believe he's a Top 10 talent in this draft but questions about his character, including a report by FoxSports.com of a failed marijuana test, may cause him to drop in the draft. "I think Harvin is really a good player," said Sirius NFL Radio analyst Gil Brandt, the former longtime personnel man for the Cowboys. "Harvin is from a tough background and had problems going back to high school. But if you looked at [his] Pro Day, he was sensational. He was really, really sensational. He's a talented player. Does he stay off the wrong side of the tracks? That's the question." The Jets, like many teams, put a premium on character. They evaluate players on visits from the time they step off the plane to the time they get back on. If they have concerns about his maturity, Harvin may drop on their draft board. Receiver is a tricky position to draft in the first round. The last few years have featured first-round busts at the position such as Rashaun Woods, Mike Williams and Matt Jones. "It's a unique position, to be honest with you," Jets VP of college scouting Joey Clinkscales said. "You have a lot of guys who are prima donnas at that position as you all know. But you know, some guys always feel, in the second or third round, the reason why they are second- and third-round picks is because usually they have first-round value and first-round talent and there's something keeping them from being first-round players." brian.costello@nypost.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Jets still eye Cardinals' Anquan Boldin as WRs at draft are questions marks For a coach whose receiving corps consists of Jerricho Cotchery and a bunch of question marks, Rex Ryan doesn't sound like he's ready to panic. He paints a bright picture, describing Brad Smith as "one of the scariest athletes in the league" and calling David Clowney the biggest surprise of the offseason. To paraphrase Shakespeare, he doth praise too much. Can anyone smell a smoke screen? Truth is, the Jets are determined to upgrade the position this weekend, which explains their interest in the Cardinals' Anquan Boldin, who is on the trading block because of a contract dispute. GM Mike Tannenbaum is quietly monitoring the situation, according to league sources, as are several other teams. "New York would love this guy," said former Jets and Cards wide receiver Rob Moore, who covers the Cards as a radio analyst. "He plays like a linebacker and has the intellect of a quarterback. He'd be great for a young quarterback. I hear about Braylon Edwards and (Chad Ocho Cinco) being available, but they're not even close to Anquan." If they can't make a deal with the Cards, who are reportedly seeking first- and third-round picks, the Jets will look to Saturday's draft to find a replacement for Laveranues Coles. Rarely do rookie receivers make an impact. Since 2000, only three rookies have had 1,000-yard seasons - Boldin, Michael Clayton (Bucs) and Marques Colston (Saints). Assuming Michael Crabtree (Texas Tech) and Jeremy Maclin (Missouri) are gone by the 17th pick, the Jets will be choosing from a second tier that includes Darrius Heyward-Bey (Maryland), Percy Harvin (Florida) and Hakeem Nicks (North Carolina). But there's a concern with each player, and that will make the Jets think twice about picking a receiver at 17. Harvin is one of the biggest enigmas in the draft. He's a home-run threat every time he touches the ball, exactly what the Jets need, but he has a history of erratic behavior on the field and he reportedly tested positive for marijuana at the scouting combine. In 1995, the Jets passed on Warren Sapp because of drug rumors and he went on to a stellar career with the Bucs. It's always a tough call with character risks. Harvin's stock is dropping, and he could fall out of the first round. One opposing scout said his team may remove Harvin from its draft board entirely. "He'd be a special talent on Sunday, but he'd be high-maintenance from Monday to Saturday," said a GM, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "He reminds me of Allen Iverson." Will the Jets take the gamble? Probably not. From a size-speed standpoint, Heyward-Bey (6-2, 210) is made to order for the Jets. He's fast (4.3 in the 40), but he's not the most sure-handed receiver. He also needs to be in an offense that emphasizes the vertical passing game, according to the GM. That might not be the best fit for the Jets. "Rare speed," the GM said. "This guy jumps off the screen. But you need a quarterback who can get him the ball." That, too, could be an issue with the Jets. Nicks is the most polished receiver of the group, but he lacks ideal speed and has been out of shape for recent workouts. There also are off-the-field questions about his family life, according to scouts. As a player, he's described as a poor man's Boldin. The Jets might be able to get the real deal, a 28-year-old, three-time Pro Bowl receiver. ON THE MARK: USC QB Mark Sanchez, speaking Wednesday on a national conference call, said he hasn't spoken to the Jets since his private workouts for team officials last month in Southern California. "Maybe they don't like me anymore, who knows?" he said with a laugh. Actually, the Jets are interested in trading up in the first round for Sanchez, who could go as high as fourth to the Seahawks.

SoFlaJets Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 I guess this must be the rest of Jane's blog-SFJ Jets' Tannenbaum plays it close to the vest Rex Ryan was so impressed by the Jets' draft room that he nearly invited reporters up there last week. It was the kind of gesture made by the larger-than-life coach who plays quarterback against the defense on certain drills, and it would not have been extended under prior administrations. "I wish maybe after the draft or something we can go in there and show you, give you an idea of what they look at, where they have grades, all that kind of stuff," Ryan said. It was clear Ryan said that before checking with the general manager. If the NFL didn't dictate that teams hold a pre-draft press conference, Mike Tannenbaum wouldn't have followed Ryan to the podium. Tannenbaum, personnel head Terry Bradway and head scout Joey Clinkscales gave a 12-minute overview on the process of picking a player, and Tannenbaum spent the next 12 minutes bobbing and weaving through 21 questions. Would he at least concede that the bulk of the picks would be offensive players after stocking the defense during free agency? "We are going to try to let the board, as much as possible, dictate what we do," Tannenbaum said. "You just never know who is going to go. Certainly our numbers, as (offensive coordinator) Brian Schottenheimer has walked by my office twice a day, every day, are a little skewed right now from a strictly numbers standpoint, but we really want to take the best player possible." And if that player is a linebacker? "Uh, then we'll take the best player," Tannenbaum said. Last year all that preparation led the Jets to take Ohio State's Vernon Gholston with the No. 6 pick overall. But Gholston, who went from defensive lineman in college to linebacker in the NFL, didn't see a lot of time on the field, and the Jets will need more production from a first-rounder. This year, the defense-minded Ryan brought in three defensive players from the Ravens in free agency, and the Jets have a need at several key offensive positions. The first is quarterback. Ryan and Tannenbaum profess to like in-house candidates Brett Ratliff and Kellen Clemens, who particularly impressed at last week's voluntary minicamp, but you never know how much of that praise is subterfuge. With the No. 17 pick of the first round, the Jets could opt for a quarterback such as Josh Freeman or try to trade up to get Mark Sanchez. The Jets should have a selection of well-regarded wide receivers available at 17, including Percy Harvin and Rutgers' Kenny Britt, but there will be solid options later in the round and Tannenbaum could opt to trade down to get a wideout and get a few more picks. The Jets could also try to draft an eventual backup for defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, a tight end or a running back depending on how talks are going with Thomas Jones. But Tannenbaum wasn't transparent about any of the Jets' needs. He did hear about Ryan's offer to open up the draft room, and made it clear that wouldn't be happening. "We are going to make his playbook available instead," Tannenbaum said, laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Brady Quinn makes absolutely no sense to me. We passed on him to take Revis in the draft where he was available, has our opinion of him really changed that much? He didn't produce well in Cleveland and he's done just about as much as any of the guys on the roster. He brings no more experience, and will cost us our first round pick. Hell, I'd rather take Josh Freeman at 17 and us taking Josh Freeman is one of my least favorite scenarios in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
