Comments on: Opinion: What Would Make You Furious on Draft Weekend? http://www.thejetsblog.com/2009/04/24/what-would-make-you-furious-on-draft-weekend/ Ranting and Raving about the Gang Green Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:07:41 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: UKJetsFan http://www.thejetsblog.com/2009/04/24/what-would-make-you-furious-on-draft-weekend/comment-page-1/#comment-151760 UKJetsFan Sat, 25 Apr 2009 13:44:35 +0000 http://www.thejetsblog.com/?p=11807#comment-151760 Like many of you, I would absolutely hate drafting/trading for a QB!! Can someone please explain the logic behind why we would, when all we've heard is that this year's Jets are gonna be tough on defence, running the ball, etc.. So, ummm.....how does drafting a rookie QB that won't know the scheme help??? Beats me.... Oh and for those who are in love with Sanchez/Freeman - go check out Kellen's Oregon tapes on youtube - the boy looks just as good back then as these 2 prospects do now anyhow.

Did you not follow this guy in school. Whenever they Buckeyes needed him, he was injured. This is not who we need. We need either a good rushing lineman or a huge down the field threat at receiver.

His upright, smash mouth running style just doesn't work in the NFL for a long time. Brandon Jacobs is always injured. The rest have short careers, like Christian "The Nigerian Nightmare" Okoye or Jamal Anderson. And, Beanie's durability was questioned at OSU. Plus, he's no threat out of the backfield in the passing game. Moreno is a much more complete back and, if you want a battering ram to complement Leon and TJ, then draft Rashad Jennings in the 2nd or 3rd round. And, IMO, Jennings running style is better...he leans through the LOS and straightens up later. But, Beanie does have the talent to lead the NFL in rushing, he just won't last.

If we don't get a starter with our first pick, I would be disgusted. Could be RB, WR, TE, OL, or DL but, must be able to step right in. If someone in our division gets Ramses Barden, I will be in a state of depression. Harvin will be a star. His problem is that he played two positions and people don't know what he'll do in the pros. If he dedicates himself to WR, there are not going to be too many DB's who can cover him. His hands have never been an issue. The man is a human highlight film. You disbelievers will all see. All the talk about smoking pot and bad influence in the locker room will go right out the window, if he has a good coach. Rex is just the man to straighten him out. Time will tell.

Anybody too stupid to lay off the weed when you KNOW you'll be tested is a moron. BTW, he scored a SIX on the wonderlich. If you've ever seen a wonderlich test, you'll know an average 10 year old could score over 20. Seriously. If you doubt me google it.It's a SIMPLE test. Taking any WR other than the top two (both of whom I'd love) at 17 would really piss me off. If it's a WR you must trade down first. If Boldin gets traded for LESS than a #1, I'll be very upset if we don't get him. Not addressing a need cheaply with a PROVEN top 10 talent is just moronic. I don't give a crap if he's "similar" to JC. He's MUCH better. We're 12 million under the cap. We can fit his contract demands, and he's worth it. I'll be happy if we get Sanchez. (I was pissed we missed out on Cutler. The price was damn high. I think he was worth it.) I'm of the opinion Sanchez will be a franchise QB, and we haven't had one for far too long.
