It's not the sexy pick, but it's the smart pick.

For some reason I see that quote about every 2nd year. I heard it about Iuapiti and last year with DeCastro.

if we draft Warmack, we better be trading down.

My guess is that he goes real conservative by trading down a few picks and taking Warmack. A Warmack pick also shows that he's the boss.

Whether or not you agree with taking a Guard in the first round is a legitimate debate, but I don't think its realistic to expect that Warmack will be around anywhere beyond 10. Sure, it could happen, but the Jets are not trading down with the expectation of taking Warmack.

That being said, if it comes down to Warmack at 9 or Jonathan Cooper at 15 plus an additional pick(s), I'd probably go with option 2.

Warmack is the sexy pick, but what he is not is the smart pick. You do not select a player who will need to be signed to a big contract or let go within 3 yr with a top 10 pick. Those picks are for players at premium positions who you should have no problem paying because of their importance to the team.


Ask yourself this question. If Revis was as important to the team as some Jet fans and the media would have us think, would we as fans and the media be even having a conversation about keeping or trading Revis.

Even me, i can come up with a senario for signing Brick Ferguson. I cannot think of a good reason to keep Revis on this team.

watching the super bowl, i wasn't saying to myself, 'wow, look at those guards, they're really winning it for these teams'. the jets can find quality guards, but it's not wise to use a top 10 pick on one.

Actually, the 49ers have what is generally considered the top OLine in the NFL. And Gore ran for 5.8 ypc (and Kaepernick for 8.9) in the game. So while it may not have jumped out on the TV, that line is a big part of SF's success this year.

true. but, unlike the jets, the 49ers have playmakers. their qb is accurate and can scramble. he holds onto the football. their rbs are fast. their wrs can catch. they drafted a wr in the first round, signed manningham and moss and drafted james, just to make sure they had enough playmakers.

AND they have a very good offensive line.

You don't think that if their respective draft classes could be redone, guys like Marshall Yanda and Mike Iupati wouldn't be Top 10 picks?

If you're going offense at #9, it's either an OL or a QB. There isn't a single RB, receiver or TE worthy of a Top 20 pick, much less Top 10.

The group of tweeners in this draft is just as deep as the OL, so I could just as easily say we could get an OLB in the 2nd or 3rd round as you could for an OG.

I'd rather take the best overall OL prospect in this draft than take the 3rd/4th rated passrusher at #9 (Mingo/Ansah). The only defensive player that I could get fully on board with at #9 is Damontre Moore and there's a snowballs chance in hell that he falls to us.

[Joe W. Namath]

Offensive skill position player. Either qb, rb, wr or te.

What QB, RB, WR or TE would you consider taking at #9? I agree with UT. There isn't a single one that makes sense there. The top 20 players in this draft are almost all OL, DL and OLB. It's almost freakishly devoid of offensive 'skill position' players.

There is guys out there. Remmebr in 2010, CJ Spiller was thought to be a early 2nd late 1st round pick. After the combine and pro day, he shot up. There will be an offensive guy or 2 that shoots up the board after the combine.

I'll take Geno at #9. If not Id trade down or grab Best Available OLB. Definatly not a G or T at that spot.

[BamaJets]

Just take someone who can contribute right away. No more projects. The Jets aren't good enough to be using early picks on projects.

From the outset, Idzik doesn't exactly strike me as a guy who is going to go for the flashy names. Just give me some football players in this draft.

1 - Agree

2 - Agree

3 - That player at this point in the draft must play a premium position. OG is not that.

[FijiJet]

Give me Moore at #9 and I'll be ecstatic

Yep, Jets need some youth on the O-Line for sure.

And Iupati has been excellent for the 49ers and DeCastro played well for the Steelers his rookie season once he got over the knee injury.

+1

No raw WR's or workout warrior DE's trying to convert to OLB. We need guys who can get on the field right away with all of our day 1 picks to avoid the real cap hell.

[SCITSCAT]

We have a lot of components needed on this roster, TRADE Down, get more pics and do it a couple of times and get some depth.
