2009 Draft: Who/What Positions are we Drafting?

[katnip]

Any1 know of a mid-round rb that could possibly eventually replace T. Jones? Because isn't he approaching 30? Which some of the greats couldn't overcome.

Any way this i how I'd go.

1) D-Line
2) QB (depends on favre I guess tho)
3) WR
4) Safety/Nickel Back

1/2 might as well be switchable cause of favre

[timewaster]

Too many people have us taking a back that doesnt complement Leon Washington (who MUST be resigned after this year).

I want Shonn Greene in Green and White :twisted:


http://www.draftcountdown.com/forum/...ad.php?t=27222
That guys mock i like:

1st : B.J. Raji - NG/DE (3-4) - Boston College
2nd : Jasper Brinkley - ILB - South Carolina

Someone to spell Jenkins is a huge need.
Can never have too many LB's in the 3-4

Would like a WR to replace Coles.
Still on the Brett Ratliff bandwagon from pre-season.

[ManOverboard]

Kenny Britt.

[timewaster]

Everyone has us taking Moreno in the first.

Not like anyone is right, but!
Why choose a back that similar to Washington. If anything we need a big bruiser.

Not to mention i think Jones will do fine next year like he is doing this year. So a RB in the first round seems totally unnecessary. Please correct me if im wrong.

Why not? Jersey people are the best people in the world.

Anybody have thoughts on some guys they'd be interested in with our first round pick, presuming we have one? Obviously very preliminary but still fun to play around with...

[gio]

we need a WR in the worst way its not even funny. just think, instead of dustin keller who had a whopping 3-4 good games, we could have had desean jackson catching from favre all year. get rid of coles because he is a crybaby chad sympathist..make him happy and send him to miami so they can f*ck each other for all i care. cotchery is no more than a borderline 2nd WR, and the other guys are bums. we don't need another RB..tj had a solid year, and with a new coaching regime, i'm sure he will repeat his success next year. improve the line and get another shut down corner instead of that parasite TY LAW..gimme a break, what was mangina thinking?!?!?

[katnip]

all we need is adrian peterson... look at the vikings... at least they made the playoffs with an okay qb, bad pass defense, good run d, etc.

True, its a good thing AD's come around so often.


Depending on the new head coach and if he switches back to a 4-3, Ill hold my opinion. But if we do switch to a 4-3, Brian Cushing. Yes.

[illmatic74]

If the Chiefs decide Thigpen is the answer. If Hill is decided to be answer of the 49ers and the Vikings believe in Jackson. Bradford could be a possibility of the Jets.

what do you guys think about taylor mays for us? i konw we would probably have to trade up for him, which we have shown wer not afraid to do (clemens, revis, and keller in the past 3 yrs)

i konw him and revis are both those center field type ballhawks, but you guys think they would work well together? i really like him and think hes gonna be a great player, just dont know if him and kerry would work well

i think S is a huge need this offseason, i liked elam goign into this year but he was just terrible and teams picked on him a lot throwing his way...rhodes and revis are so good but our secondary is not gonna be able to stop anybody with just those 2 guys

[derza222]

Depends a lot on what scheme we end up playing IMO. If we go 4-3 we'll really need all the picks we can get to replenish the front 7 with guys that fit the scheme. If we end up sticking with the 3-4 I'd be alright with it although I'd rather not trade up. The one thing Mays does really, really well is play deep centerfield and prevent big plays with his range. So his presence could allow more blitzing, more man coverage, and Rhodes to really roam around by the line of scrimmage or in coverage trying to make big plays without trying to cover Elam/Smith's ass. I like the fit but not sure trading up is the best idea...who knows maybe we get lucky and people are overrating him now and he slips to us. If not we're in good position to get a WR which is a pretty legit need.

I would like Mays but not in a trade up. I dont care whether we stick in the 3-4 or move to the 4-3 I'm happy to have more picks. Once again not a feasible scenario, I would love to trade down a little and nab Britt. Then grab a couple of the following DT/S/CB/all the other needs we have discussed on D.


I'd throw this all out the window if Bradford somehow falls to us I'd jump on him, even if he falls close, I'd consider moving up a bit to get him. Even though I think he may need a little time, I love the guy. The accuracy, the ability to move the pocket, the intangibles.

Ditto the bold, I just meant that in the 3-4 we could maybe do it while in the 4-3 there's really no way we could do it and address all our needs. And a trade down for Britt would be sweet.

Bradford I like but the fact that his wideouts are sometimes so open there's nobody else in the picture scares me some.

[nyjets5125]

yeah if stafford, bradford, or sanchez (if they all come out) fell to us, i would definitely want that, probably is what i want most from the draft, but wouldnt want to give up too much to move up to get one

[thetedginnshow]

I love Mays, but I highly doubt we'd go after him unless Mangini had more of a say in drafting than I assumed. I'd like Laurinaitis though and trade a later round pick for Troy Smith.

If we stayed in the 3-4, Tyson Jackson would be intriguing, as well as Maualuga or even Cushing (but Rey and Cushing would be like Mays). It's kind of hard to say what we'd do since we're kind of in a weird spot. I'd also like Vontae. If we went to the 4-3 I'd like Raji. I also really like Hakeem Nicks. He's almost my perfect receiver for us. Because of where we are the talent flow might allow us to get a real good O-Lineman though. That would be alright. OL or defense would be great with me (or Nicks). For the first round anyway.

I just happen to have a man crush on Bradford, nothing I can do about it.

I think we may want to look at OL a little later, not round 1. We spent so much money on both 1st rounders and guys we've signed to solidify the line, I'm not sure how much more money we can dump into it with an early pick. Maybe a 4th round developmental guy to groom for RT.

[derza222]

Has anyone seen much of Sean Smith (S/CB from Utah)? Wondering if he'd be a good fit, haven't seen him play at all but based on the fact that he's a tweener that most people think will end up at safety it seems like he could be a decent FS. Just tough to know without watching him play.

I like him also because of his versatility. Him and Lowery could battle for CB, or S.

[FlutiesDropKick]

If we don't get any of the top WRs (Crabtree or Maclin especially.....I think where we pick might be too high for Harvin cuz his injuries, Hayward-Bay would be ehhhh) how would you feel about Juaquin Iglesias is the second?

[thetedginnshow]

Add Lafell to my list. Doesn't look like we'll be able to get Sanchez now though that Bradford won't be in it. But oh well. I can still hope for Troy...
