Jets Draft Picks ?
- Thread starter cysporsche
- Start date
I see you've already changed your picks twice...who's the flip flopper? Make a pick and stand by it. You're worse than a politician.
55, Where I have I changed my picks ? I've been Cooper @ 6 and Eli Harold @ 37 for over a month now. Put your picks in writing, so we can hold you to it there Mr. Flipper !

The problem w draft is if you go WR at 6..barring a trade..Harold or any other edge rusher might not be there...
In 2 words - Kelvin Benjamin.
Raw as sushi, thought to probably fall to Rd 2, (like Hill), and wound up picked at #28 by Carolina.
DG-B is the same guy, with a little baggage, but GMs still remember the Randy Moss fall back in '98 and WILL NOT allow themselves to get snookered like that again with so much talent riding on a troubled player.
It's why CLE drafted Josh Gordon (2013 Rd 2 used in the 2012 supplemental) and Dallas drafted #24 Dez Bryant so high - IN SPITE OF their excessive baggage.
Eli Harold is another guy in this draft who almost certainly will not slip into Rd 2.
At some point a pass rush-needy GM, (4-3 DE or 3-4 OLB) is going to look at who is left on the board and take Harold late in Rd 1 or risk not getting a top pass rusher at all this year.
How soon in Rd 1 will depend on the run on LBs & DEs in a class with very limited numbers of elite prospects at those positions.
Don't forget, Harold will ALSO be on the boards of 4-3 defense teams as a DE, not just 3-4 defense teams needing an OLB pass rusher.
He's something of a "Bruce Irvin -light" kind of player.
Remember this as well.
For a GM, it is MUCH easier to explain a failed Todd Blackledge Rd 1 pick than it is to explain away passing on a Rd 1 Dan Marino pick.
Know your own history - the Jets selected Ken O'Brien at #24, and left #27 Marino for the Dolfish.
To this day, Jim Kensil is reviled by Jets fans for making that choice, even though O'Brien was arguably the most successful QB in Jets history after Broadway Joe. (Pennington is also in that discussion.)
KC GM Schaff lasted at least one more year as GM than Kensil did, as a result of that 1983 QB draft fallout - IN SPITE OF Blackledge being a complete bust and O'Brien being a pretty damn decent QB.

Hyatt +1 agree. IMO this years WR class is going to turn out better than last years SUPER class of WR's. In the 2 months time I've been raving about Eli Harold, his name has become common place. I watch UVA games and this kid 6'4"/245 is light in the a$$, but just as fast as Beasley. Plus Eli comes out of a 3-4 Defense where he was a DE most of the time, but so is Ray, Beasley, Dupree, Armstead or Gregory. I want Amari & Eli.

I would not take Dorset at #37 he has boom or bust written all over him ..... many scouts already have him a bust.... there will be lots of better picks on the board.
:im-outta-here-bye-b
With Less than a week until the draft, I have tweaked and added missing picks. Lock me in Mods:
6) Amari Cooper WR 6'1"/210 Tide
37) Eli Harold OLB 6'4"/240 UVA
70) Jay Ajayi RB 6'/216 Boise St.
104) Ali Marpet T/G 6'4"/307 Hobart
142) Bears / Brandon Marshall trade
180) Seahawks / Percy Harvin trade
223) Zack Hodges OLB 6'3"/245 Harvard
224) Justin Manton P/K 6'3"/196 Louisiana-Monroe

Back when Wake-Forest held the regional combines, I went to watch Kevin Johnson CB; however, the kid that stood out to me and all the Scouts there was QB Phillip Sims 6'1"/225 from Winston-State Univ., a small black College.
Besides the fact that he was throwing 50-60 yard darts all day long, is that his former HC @ Alabama Nick Saban has written all 32 NFL teams extolling all of Sims "good qualities". Sims the only Parade All-American to ever play @ WSSU, helped the Rams finish 9-2 last season.
Before coming to WSSU, Sims was a highly-touted recruit @ Alabama where he stayed for two seasons backing up AJ McCarron and winning the National Championship. In High School (Chesapeake, VA), he threw for 10,000 yards.
Sims then transferred to UVA to be closer to his sick father, before becoming academically ineligible and then going to WSSU. Despite leaving for Virginia, Coach Saban never lost touch. In fact, he begged Sims to come back for multiple reasons (great kid, leader, very athletic, HUGE arm, and he does things the right way).
CBS sports has Sims ranked as the 45th best QB in its draft rankings.
Note: We do have two 7th round picks, is Sims worth a flier ?

Pain in the Ass.... :smiley-cool11: Hyatt sorry didn't see your response till after I posted this.
If we came OUT of the draft with these 4 players, regardless of how we obtained them (trade ups, down, etc)...I would be ecstatic
Saw an interview w kid.....hes either Santana Moss, TY Hilton, or Antonio Brown
I hate to change my mock draft again, but yesterday I heard that Jay Ajayi RB from Boise St. is still dealing with a serious knee injury, so I'll have to replace him with Duke Johnson RB 5'9"/206 from Miami or David Cobb RB 5'11"/229 from Minnesota, who the Jets seem real high on @ pick #70 .

Kevin, Thanks for jumping in on the Jet mock. My question is your choice @ tackle ? I'm thinking Peat 6'7"/312 will translate better to RT and La'el Collins 6'5"/308 will be the better LT in the draft. I thought you'd go Kevin White WR @ 6 ? And I think the Packers will be all over McKinney ILB with the 30th pick ? I guess we'll find out thursday night ?
