I'm having a tough time figuring out who the Jets should take in the 1st in my mock. I have Chris Long, Vernon Gholston, Darren McFadden and Glenn Dorsey all going in the Top 5 picks. I thought about giving them Laurenitas but they have Vilma and Harris. They could go with Sedrick Ellis but he's not a very good fit in the 3-4. If those 4 guys are gone, what should the Jets do with their 1st round pick?

That's one of those scenarios that we've been discussing for a while now in our discussion boards. If C.long, Gholston, McFadden, Dorsey and im assuming J.long is off the board as well than i really think i can't say anyone right now until the combine comes around. As of now the best players on the board are something that we don't need; Ellis isn't a good fit, Otah would be a beast on the right, but is too high for a RT, we do'nt need to pay big money for Kenny phillips and unless we trade Vilma laurenitas isn't needed either. I think if vilma is moved than laurenitas could be the selection, but i'll just say f*ck it and possibly otah for now. Sorry, that doesn't answer your question, but barring any trades for us i can't say who we'd select if all those guys are off the board until the combine comes around. And iff matt ryan is off the board and J.long is still available than i bet someone will want to trade up for him, but i can't say who we'll draft until the combine.

My top 5 is:
Miami - Chris Long
St.Louis - Vernon Gholston
Atlanta - Darren McFadden
Oakland - Glenn Dorsey
KC - Jake Long
Jets - ?????
Otah is an option. Maybe a Kenny Phillips or CB like either Jenkins. Maybe they'll reach for a 3-4 DE in Kentwan Balmer. Tough spot for the Jets.

THat would mean we would have 3 first rounders on our line and we still wouldn't have a good offensive line because we still have the human turnstile as our starting LG. If we could get a LG in FA or the draft than yes we'd have a good Oline, but probably the highest paid too haha.

I'd probably go Otah there as well though it's a tough spot as you said. I'm hoping things become clear as time goes on but at this point without a QB going in the top 5 the Jets selection is really anybody's guess. Money is obviously going to pay a role so I guess the question is what position are we most comfortable sinking a lot of money into. Maybe Mangini's background comes into play and we go defense there but it's really anybody's guess.

I still cannot wait to see tommy blake perform; he was a preseason top of the first rounder type of guy and still has all of the tools to succeed. I really wish march would come and we splash into free agency, because that would make things much easier on us haha. Also, i dont want to see Stacy Andrews sign an extension at all. I am hoping he realizes he'll get more money if he hits the market, but im afraid that the bengals will somehow get him back.

Gholston had a fairly solid day, but he didn't have the type of day that to me warrants a first overall pick. That having been said, dorsey didn't have a lights out day either but i do beleive he had a better day. It depends on the defense the fins will be running, but dorsey is more of a rare comodity than i think gholston is. There is a deeper OLB/DE tweener class that can make an impact in the nfl than i beleive DTs that could make the same impact, but that's just my opinion.

without a doubt, jake long OG..yeah, it's a boring pick, but if you can't run the ball or protect the qb, you are not going to win games, bottom line. hell, if they used their first and/or second round pick for the next 3 years to attain offensive linemen, i wouldn't complain. look at N.E. line. what was the number of times brady got sacked this year, 10?!?!? he could have worn a tuxedo and sign autographs back there in the pocket!! and thats every year!!"Somewhere in the world Ken O'Brien is laughing."

yeah, i know what you are saying that they were later round picks for the most part, but you get what im saying right? every jets fan ive talked to so far is all about taking mcfadden if he is available. i think the jets are nuts if they take him..you have a great downhill, in your face runner in thomas jones that couldnt get a rhythm all season because of the offensive line, so what are you going to do with him if you get mcfadden, get rid of him? i think it coaching has a larger part to do with it than what most people think, i would agree with you there, but crossing our fingers every time the ball is snapped hoping that clement or clark can do thier job right is frustrating. we need better talent in the trenches."Somewhere in the world Ken O'Brien is laughing."
