Macc is obviously secretly reading your posts. HammerThat was my TOP 5 list before any signings were announced, and the Jets snagged two of the five.
Time to demand some consultant bucks

prewitt went to titans crap
I am hoping for them too. Well so much for Prewitt.
+1, I agree with this too. Thanks for your support Ham.
Thanks AFA, but I feel the same way about you guys, its been fun following the draft with so many people who do their homework and I've learned a lot reading other opinions.
If we don't sign another UDFA I'll still be thrilled, because I don't ever recall the Jets landing two UDFA's off my short list immediately following the draft. So I feel like we already hit a home-run with the UDFA's, anything more is gravy.
TFY gave ILB Taiwan Jones a RD 3-4 Grade and he was the sixth rated ILB on their board:
http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2015/ILB/Taiwan-Jones
Taiwan Jones
School: Michigan State
Position: ILB
Bio: Two-year starter awarded All-conference honors since his junior season. Totaled 60 tackles and 12.5 tackles for loss as a senior when he lined up at middle linebacker. Posted 67 tackles at strong side linebacker as a junior.
Positives: Explosive three down linebacker who makes plays against the run and pass. Plays with balance, rarely knocked off his feet and fast both laterally and in a straight line. Plays with a great deal of quickness and explosion. Breaks through blocks to get behind the line of scrimmage and is constantly flying around the action. Tough but also smart and does a nice job anticipating the action. Flows well to the action, strings plays out laterally and wraps up tackling. Gets depth on pass drops, shows tremendous range and covers a lot of ground. Quick to locate the ball. Makes the defensive calls for Michigan State and is known as a leader.
Negatives: Takes too many steps to the action. Never had great production in college. Lacks classic linebacker height. Ran poorly at the combine.
Analysis: Though not garnering the headlines of his teammates, Jones has been a steady playmaker the past two years. He's a three-down defender who can play multiple linebacker positions in a variety of schemes and comes with the ability to quickly break into a starting lineup at the next level.

Might there be legitimate positive vibes about a Jets' administration? Perhaps near unanimity in fan satisfaction?
Even the UDFA signings are solid.

Not according to.this tracker

The Chargers have signed 22 UDFAs which may be a NFL.record for the time since they reduced TC rosters from.130 to.80 (now increased to 90 for 2015
Jets Sign Durell Eskridge Syracuse Safety, as an UDFA .... great size.

He has a chance, good signing
Julian Howsare looks very interesting as well. 4.6 speed with great size for an OLB.

Welcome aboard
Great to have one of Julian's family here at JetsFansUnited[emoji2] [emoji2]
Wes Saxton will make the roster, period. He can really play. If were Cumberland and Sudfeld I would be very nervous.
I also predict that Eskridge will, at minimum, make the practice squad. He was not on a very good Syracuse team but he always stood out as an NFL talent to me.

Saxton appears to be a very viable threat to take a spot from both Sudfeld and Cumberland. Both guys need to step it up this summer or they'll be gone. I like what I read about Howshare. Has the measurables plus the motor and intangibles, playing in D2 was his issue with not going drafted. Could be a PS guy who has a chance to develop.
