One thing though, I'm not really so interested in combine speeds. Also dont be so quick to anoint Harvin. One of the reason Walter saw his stock dropping was the injury issues. That can happen within the next 2 years and Harvin would still officially be considered a bust. But still a good point. But still I have used Walter as an example of what quite a few scouts are saying about Bryan, that he will not translate to an X reciever. But we do agree about the defensive line. Anyway, looking at Walters new mock draft, here is a tidbit about the Broncos NT situation in reference to our earlier conversation: "Nose tackle Ronald Fields has been having a solid year. However, I wouldn't consider him an elite nose tackle. With Terrence Cody on the roster, Fields can slide outside to upgrade one of the 3-4 end positions, which is a huge need for the Broncos. That's two upgrades for the price of one." He actually has the Jets passing on Cody for a CB. But I would hope the Jets are smarter than that. It's easier to get a corner than a NT. Dylan,

They ended up with TJ Conley this year who had a sixth round grade anyway. Had they drafted him, that would have just been a wasted pick! Will drafting a punter solve all their issues?

Defensive Line, any position, is the greatest need on this team, immediately followed by Defensive Line, again, not a mistake. De/NT, NT/DE, one way or the other. If you get a pass rush you can live with current secondary and LB. While Jenkins might indeed contribute (hope he is more diligent in his rehab than he was last time, this is what got him in trouble down there) there is no way they will know his status by April so need to pick a NT even if Pouha proves solid. But of course they will probably trade the entire draft and move up for a blocking TE ;-) IF they retain Edwards it would be ridiculous to draft a WR.

Positions I would target, in order: 1- Pass-rushing linebacker to play the will. 2- OL, really any position or a guy who can play several 3- DT or NT. Don't think it's a huge diference. Big guy. 4- Secondary. Could go safety or corner depending on who's available where. 5/6- Punter/kicker. Come on already. I don't really consider WR a need position. There are some young guys who could start contributing more if sanchez turns into the real thing. Edwards, Cotchery, Keller, Clowney, and Leon are all legit weapons in the passing game.

Just look at Marshall (4.55), Bowe (4.51), Ochocinco (4.54), and Boldin (4.75) just to name a few. Obviously we disagree on Bryants potential but its pointless arguing about it since we wont know until about a year from now. Best case scenario a good DE or NT is available anyway. igs,

I wold add that this is the perfect time for the Jets to grab a project WR in the 3rd/4th/5th and maybe some line depth. When I say project I don't mean a guy like Marcus Henry, I mean a guy like Mario Ramses Barden or something. Brian I agree.
