I really like Beau Bell and hope we have a chance to nab him. He’s an old school LB who can tackle. Pairing him inside with Harris will shore up the run defense immensely, a sore need in the last few years.
I would not be surprised with another CB like Branch to fall to us. As a defense that needs to protect against the pass with more pass happy offenses like NE out there, it makes sense to get as much depth at this position.
I still would like a QB though, at least to provide some more competition to the incumbents.
Yea Beau Bell would be a great addition I wouldn’t mind bunching the last of our picks together to get him, I think he can make an immediate impact like David harris did although I doubt he is as good as him.
Woodyard or Bell will be greta picks.. and allow for the ILB spot to have some healthy competition
I love branch.. he has a great combination of size and speed for the CB position.. somethign not seen often. My only concern since he is still there is that he is being looked at as a saftey conversion.. otherwise he would have been drafted in the 1st 3 rounds..
What about Pedro Sosa from Rutgers if he could fall to the Jets I think he could be a very good tackle in the pros.
Anvril gone (Detroit, R3 (92))
Mario Mannigham a possibility if he gets past the 3rd round?
would love Manningham but I doubt the character-conscious Jets would go after him. That guy has great ability to separate even though he doesn’t have great 40 times, and has great ball-skills too.
the only charactaer issue was that he made a foolish decision to lie about using marjinuana when asked at the combine. Wrong advice escpially since now a days poeple can find out about anything…
he got caught in a lie.. but getting a 2nd round type talent in the 4th round is value..
Manningham just went to the Giants at 95. I like the CB from UCONN or a ILB in the 4th.
Mario is gone (Giants Rd3 (95))
Pats took a QB?
Will Justin Miller play CB exlusively this year seeing how Leon has shown good return ability?
NE’s new QB got props from Gruden recently.
Past took a QB? They probably heard the Jets liked him.
Okay so if Manningham is All-Pro and Keller is Doug Jolley then this will go down as one of the most horrendous Jets decisions.
Caldwell went to Bengals. I liked him. Thanks, Chad Johnson.
round 4 , Bell woodyard and Branch still there.. so if the jets have them on their board.. they should be picking one of them
I think the jets wont draft a WR here.. none on the board are goign to unseat Cole ro Cotchery.. and i dont think they are better than Smith
Plus.. if they trade baker.. they can probbaly trade baker for a teams #3 or #4 WR during preseason/post draft
dammit.. raiders traded with Cowboys… took our CB!!!
Branch off the board
Beginning of the fourth
think Chris Johnson (wr) and Josh Johnson (qb) are still on the board. Correct me if I am wrong. I wouldn’t mind picking up either one at this point of further down. I believe we are probably going to hit the secondary. Probably look for someone to challenge Elam.
ah crap Raiders just traded up to take Branch from UCONN at 100.
jets on the clock
As I type, Oakland and St. Lois took Branch(cb) and King(cb) (I think King was a good value here)
might as well trade back….
trade? maybe because both LB are there?
there they did it…. im glad
trade down to packers to ???
more picks
2nd time this draft we traded with packers
pack have 3 4th round picks.. 2 for 1?? i just hope those LBs are still there
anyone knows the details?
they have the 113, 128, 135 in the 3rd
I’m assuming they moved back to 113, and possibly picked up one of the others, or possibly a 5th, just speculating
yup they got the 113, not sure what else.
and picked up 162 in the fifth, nice job FO
Bell off the board.. browns traded up for him.. he owuld have been a great ILB in the 3-4
Bell just went to the browns at 104
Booty!
