This is a passing league now so you need stud pass rushers, a top quarterback and a deep threat. Get the OL later in the draft or in free agency. Get the top offensive player or the DE in round one. When was the last time the Jets had an all Pro STAR player that they drafted? Good analysis but the Jets need big time players.

The Jets can address the DL this year, but the priority has to be the OL, if not we will not score much and the running game as it has this year will suffer. We can pick up some good talent in the second and third rounds for Defense and still pick up a good talent for the OL again in the 4th round.

Too bad Tangini didn't have a decent replacement. Too bad they misjudged the entire OL. My guess is OLB will be our first pick because there will be a stud or two there who is not a reach. Our second pick should be able to get a starting caliber guard or tackle. If we don't waste money on Hobson and other rejects, we will at least have money to go after upgrades on the lines in FA. In the unlikely event we sign an OLB, we can shift priorities with our first pick or get two good LB. From the first reports, it will be easier to upgrade the OL in the draft and FA than fix our D. There seem to be more good OL than DL available. But Rome was not built in a day and no matter who we sign and draft, we will not compete with the Colts or Pats for the best record in the AFC next season. h Getting a 4th round pick for that stiff Kendall was a steal.

I don't know what he really weighs, but I doubt he breaks 295. Maybe they should move him to TE? I know players aren't that fungible (despite my repeated calls for Vilma to move to SS), but what else can they do with D'brick? He's really not a franchise caliber LT, he's not strong enough to play G, and he's too expensive to get rid of. D’Brick looks like and blocks like a TE more than a LT.

He is very good against speed rushers and strong linemen like Seymour. Besides that he really needs to strengthen in the offseason. For a LT he is no Pace or Davis, whom have elite strength at LT. Even if he is the same size as Walter Jones the difference between them is that Jones is as strong as an ox, I think that D'Brick really needs to train with another linemen to build up his strength and skills. Or else he will be known as a huge bust and will forever be known as D'Turnstile Ferguson just like Dewayne Robbed-us-son I really notice that D’Brick has real problems with speed bull-rushers like Vanden Bosh, Jared Allen types.

Would you trade down knowing your getting a player that can produce 10 sacks a season? Or we pass on McFadden who is as versatile as Tomlinson, hey he doesn't look so bad averaging 18tds a year right??? If we drade down Dallas would have to fofeit not only this years two 1st rounders but their 2nd, 3rd rounder and next years 1st. The 6th pick is worth more than two late 1st round picks which are like early 2nd rounders and an early 3rd and 4th.

I still think that Dallas will want a McFadden or K.Smith (now that he's declared) the Cowboys love the big name running backs and are looking for their Emmitt Smith of the future and DMC or Smith is it, one of the 2 will fall to us at 6th and I think we can get both of Dallas' 1st's plus a third or fourth from them, we targwet the defensive line or OLB/DE first and go after Red Bryant with our second rd. I know it's high but we need the nose tackle filled as badly as any other slot on the D roster. I reallt think the Jets are in the best position to improve this squad in ten years in this off season and draft. Lets hope they finally get it right and stop B.S'ing around.
