Use the 1st round pick on a Tyson Jackson, and get Britt early in the 2nd. To call Britt just a possession receiver is insulting. The majority of his touchdowns weren't jump balls in the endzone, they were balls that Teel put some air under and Britt would fly by his defender. Not only does he have the speed, but he is a big strong target as well. He has good sized hands and hasn't had consistent problems catching the football. I'm not sure what else you'd like in a receiver, MAKE HIM A JET! If Britt by some miracle lasts until the early 2nd round, trade down to get him.

He is not a burner but he riminds me of a faster Cotcherry, with not as great hands. But he is young and can improve.

I truly believe that Britt will end up being the best receiver in the bunch this year!!! But I still think we should give that pick to Arizona for Boldin, or to Cleveland for Braylon Edwards!!! Unlike most of you guys, I have complete trust that Tanny will make the rite moves!!! J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!!!! If the Jets stay put at 17, this is WR I want!!!

I'd buy three. Home, away, third. Well, I’m a Rutgers homer, for the record, and if we drafted Kenny Britt I’d buy his jersey. I’d buy three. Home, away, third.

He'll have some hands issues, not to the extent Braylon did last year ,but he's no Wayne Chrebet. He can run a little after the catch but also has the sneaky speed to get deep and the size to go get the ball. He's a much better prospect than he gets credit for, IMO, and can definitely be a #1 wideout that threatens teams deep and can make things happen after the catch.

Said that he isn't a bad guy per se, but that he isn't exactly the highest-of-character athletes out there. I would worry a little, but then again, all WRs seem to have issues nowadays. Still don't think he's a fit for us, I think we need a vertical threat WR rather than a possession guy (stop saying Clowney's a vertical threat and that we don't need another downfield WR, no one has any idea if he's going to be good).
