For the Jets it's pretty simple right, Darren McFadden? Jones hasn't been very good this year and he's close to 30(29). I know there's a few Jet fans on this board(TBrown33 is one I think). He would know their needs better than me.
If McFadden is available I think they have to take him. Then the rest of the draft, build up that defense(I think there will be a lot of turnover since some of their personal are more suited to the 4-3). Give Clemens a full season next year with McFadden and they won't be as terrible. |
Heyo, sorry for being late to the losersville party. As for my Jets...
Let me preface this by saying that the Jets historically like to surprise us with how they pick, so it's safe to say that nothing is set in stone.
With that said, they won't be drafting a quarterback. Clemens is the guy, end of story.
Now a premier RB would be interesting if he were available to us at the draft. I say interesting because we just traded for Thomas Jones, who hasn't exactly been lights out, but I would pin that more on our offensive line. Mangold has been great since he's been here, but D'Brick...well, I hate to use the word bust ...but he hasn't been fantastic. He's still a bit undersized and he has shown some flashes (he dominated Jason Taylor this year). But even with D'Brickashaw on top of his game, the Jets OLine is still a far cry from great. I don't know that even a real good RB can perform with the OLine we have. The debacle with Kendall before the season was so absolutely retarded and made no sense, and it really hurt us this year. Guy is a great LG, and we managed to alienate him. Stupid, stupid way of handling things from the front office.
So, maybe an OL. But I'd like to see us use later picks on that.
But really, I think our number 1 most pressing need is a D-Lineman, specifically, a nice big nose tackle to make things happen in a 3-4 defensive scheme. Robertson (who can also be considered bustworthy) has proved he's not capable of filling that role in a 3-4, and before the Pitt game, we were dead last in the NFL in sacks. The D-Line needs to be improved big time.
With that said, I'm not really entirely sure what the incoming draft class looks like yet. But, there's my input for what will surely be a top 5 picking team.
