Who do you want with our first round pick?

[Ruby2]

Dont know how anyone can watch beast WR's like Nicks change games in this day and age and not want Floyd.

Completely agree, a WR like Floyd is going to help the running game as much as the passing. He'll make the d respect the passing game and give Sanchez a target that will go after the ball.

[nycuse]

floyd is a wus who cant play after taking a hit. go back and watch the fsu game. he should have been out there in the last ten minutes but wasnt because he doesnt have a set between his legs. if we go WR in the first round it should be alshon jeffrey. also, jeffrey has more athletic ability too.

[King Koopa]

Alshon Jeffrey is better than Floyd....he came from a better team in a better conference.....More of a gamebreaker

The only thing he's worse at is his six pack apparently

I would be happy with Floyd, but not over Alshon....no chance

I've watched every game Floyd played and he's one of the only reason ND won anything this year and he fearless going up for the ball.

Alshon will probably be the second WR taken so he'll be gone by 16 unless he bombs his 40 time.

Jets need a OL above everything. If they get a RT in FA then they can do whatever they want but OL is the most important need. When the OL is good, the team is good.

RT is probably our biggest need. Like you said the Jets go as their O-line goes. If we don't upgrade significantly at Right Tackle our OL is in danger of regressing to 2007 form.

The problem is the only good OT available in FA is Demetrius Bell and I don't know if the Jets can afford him. Levi Brown and Vernon Carey are such bad pass protectors they will make Wayne Hunter look good.

[Ruby2]

Jeffrey, Floyd, whatever I dont care.

Any WR in the first round is fine by me.

The poll should be titled "If trent richardson isnt there, who would you take?" I doubt a top 5 talent falls to 16.

There's 0 chance he falls that far.

Not sure if your Mock Draft is what the team's "should do", or what you believe they "will do", but a little birdie told me right now Cleveland is picking Trent Richardson because they are tired of Hillis's drama and Hardesty's boo boo's. Plus, Richardson is more a guaranteed success than RGIII,and they can not risk their #1 pick not working out.

Maybe what that person told you is the truth, but it has to be more about what they don't like about RG3 than it does with them being afraid he won't work out.

To pass up a Heisman trophy-winning, stud QB in favor of a RB, you have to be sure the QB isn't going to be any good because passing on him, then watching him turn into a star will sting for a long time -- much longer than a swing and miss would considering the team-friendly rookie contracts now.

But I guess that's why they're Cleveland. So it makes sense.

[DDNYjets]

I am beginning to think the Jets are going to address the OL in FA. Can't afford to take risks there. They need mercenaries who can fill in from the moment they sign their contract.

Which leads me to think it is going to be Barron. Not a sexy pick by any means but he fills a needs and he is 6'2". The Jets desperately need size at the Safety position. No, he is not an answer to Gronk, but nobody is an answer to Gronk so it doesnt really matter.

I dont think the Jets are picking a WR unless they are able to unload Holmes which is unlikely. A return to Ground and Pound makes me think a WR is even less likely.

If they go RGIII it would be the the 3d QB they've picked in the first round in 14 years. McCoy is not the reason the O was so bad this year. It was an unproductive running game because Hillis and Hardesty were hardly ever healthy and the lack of a #1 WR. There is a lot of pressure on Holmgren to start winning. They will win a lot sooner with a McCoy/Richardson combo then a RGIII/Hardesty combo. Plus they have plenty of money to sign a #1 WR.

No matter what style of offense we're running we're going to need WRs to throw to. Holmes is acting like a dick and might have lost the team and Plax isn't worth his contract (I said I want to keep Plax until I seen he's getting 3 plus mill a year). If we're going to get a WR lets get the best one we can instead of grabbing someone later in the draft.

The Jets don't need an answer to Gronk. they need an aswer to Brady.That is why the first two picks have to be on an OLB and an ILB. Suddenly the front 7 would be very fast and athletic with Ellis hopefully earning DeVito's starting spot. I'd love to see this next season

OLB Pace
ILB Burfict
ILB Harris
OLB Upshaw (or Ingram since he is getting alot of love on the board)
DE MoWilk
NT Bo
DT Ellis

Oh yeah, there's tons of pressure on him to start putting out a winning product. But if they pass on RG3 and he turns out to have a Cam Newton type of season, he will be in even more trouble, especially with the fanbase. Good GMs don't let the poor decisions of his predecessors could his judgement and restrict his ability to take players at certain positions. None of those players have anything to do with Robert Griffin. Even the Lions didn't pass on Calvin Johnson because of Charles Roders and Mike Williams.

This is not a fact. Who knows how good RG3 will be? He might have a 7 win season next year. It's possible. We've seen McCoy and what he can do... it's nothing special.

I think Richardson will be great, but he's not going to make a lousy team good, like a great QB could.

And nobody says they need to go into next season with Hardesty at RB. Backs are one of the easier positions to upgrade through FA. They can also pick up another RB in the 3rd round... Bernard Pierce, LaMichael James, Boom Herron... there are options at RB aside from the guys they currently have.

I'd take Richardson over RG3 in a heartbeat. Richardson is a lot less risky and should be productive quicker.

so you don't think Griffin will be any good?
