FA/Resign/Cuts/Restructure

I’m going to go the lazy route here for restructures and say that we do most of Jason’s plan from nyjetscap.com, with the exception of the Sanchez restructure. I’d rather be able to make a clean break next season from him. The rest don’t add much into the next year

Cap Space: 24 million

Trade: ASSUMING Revis doesn’t come back at a reasonable price (likely), I am going with Tampa giving up a 1st and 2nd this year. Seeing what Harvin got this seems very possible

FA:

Victor Butler DE/OLB- Low cost, young yet seasoned player; has some upside and might have just been blocked by two all pros; played pretty well when called upon, not a game changer but has a good shot at starting

Geoff Schwartz RG/RT- Low cost depth signing, with starting potential; played well in Carolina before being replaced due to injury in Minny; he outplayed his counterpart in Minny and so it is slightly strange that he didn’t get more PT there; worth the low cost

Matt Slauson LG- Adequate starter who is familiar with the team and the lineman we are keeping

Eric Winston RT- I am not a huge fan of Howard; I think he did okay, but he is that guy you are always looking to upgrade; with Winston available you can really upgrade the OL with a guy who is a perfect fit for the ZBS scheme that MM runs

Sammie Lee Hill NT/DL- he is a an overlooked player on the Lions due to all their big name players, but he has been quite productive in his limited playing time; young and would give us a big body in the middle to replace Pouha, who in this scenario is gone (I think they cut him if they can find a nice piece like Hill to replace him); I think he comes cheaper because he plays in the shadow of Suh/Fairley

Draft:

1(9)- Geno Smith QB

I think he falls because of the ridiculous “this draft is weak” talk; really talented QB who would fit MM’s scheme perfectly; has plenty of talent and with our lack of anything at the position I don’t think you pass him up if he’s here; of course this is just my take on him, the Jets need to feel strongly about him to make this move

1(13)- Jarvis Jones/Damontre Moore DE/OLB

Depends on the how the Jets medical staff feels about Jones; I like both, so this is sort of a cop out; if you really made me pick I’d take Jones, he just seems to have obscene upside that shouldn’t really be available at this point

2(7)- Matt Elam FS

A fast athletic FS that we have been missing since Rhodes started playing like he was made of glass; will give this defense the takeaways that are cornerstone of a Rex Ryan run defense

2(13)- Larry Warford OG

A mauler with nice athleticism; I think he gets lumped into the plodder group because of how strong this OG class is; really he is quite nimble for a man his size and would be a great fit at the RG or LG spot; Izdik talks about competition, the training camp battles for the starting guard spots would be pretty intense with this plan

3(10)- Christine Michael RB

An explosive one cut runner, he fell out favor due to his coach’s obsession with Johnny Manziel; I think it’s good to pass but to not run a guy like Michael was foolishness in my opinion, and would have given them a more balanced attack; he falls to this spot and I think had it not been for the change in emphasis, he’d not even be here

4(9)- Da’Rick Rogers WR

Worth the risk at this point in the draft, where he falls due to character concerns; blue chip player otherwise and if he keeps his head on straight would give us a nice WR corp in 2014 when Holmes is most likely cut

5(8)- Michael Williams TE

A big TE who can maul at the POA, but is athletic enough to make some nice plays in the passing game; I think he’d immediately be a better redzone target than Keller because of his height

6(10)- Quanterus Smith DE/OLB

Low risk-high reward; gives more youth at the LB position; while his ACL heals he can be groomed to get into the rotation in 2014, if it doesn’t pan no big deal; but if everything goes right he could be a huge steal

7(9)- Khaled Holmes C

A developmental prospect and potential backup for Mangold; comes from a solid program in Southern Cal, needs a NFL training regimen to get stronger; Mangold never can rest from injuries which I think has sapped him somewhat; while a 7th rounder isn’t the ideal solution, it’s better than street FA and at the very least makes the competition for backup more intense

Flame away!
