ReedH 08-13-2004, 02:20 PM Im a saints fan and thanks for vilma GalbraithH 08-23-2004, 08:16 AM They want McFadden cuz Thomas Jones is a bust, but he likely won't be available. JJets_316 09-02-2004, 02:11 AM ok first to the idiot above me, tj was not a bust, he was a 1000 yard rusher a year ago who had a rough but still decent season due to a weak o-line.now for your question. pre free agency, the jets primary concerns were as follow:1. D-line2. QB3. O-line4. WRso, the o-line issue was completely addressed with faneca and woody, so that can be crossed off the list. vilma was gone opening up the need for another lb, but the jets acquired calvin pace to fill that gap. Kris jenkins will be helpful on the D-line, but the jets pass rush last year was one of hte worst ever, and they desperately need a DE, so that is priority #1. QB is a concern, and although the receivers are great, we could use another playmaker. the jets always like to draft more lb, so olb is possible as well.the jets are currently working on a deal to trade DT dwayne robertson to cincy for a 4th and 5th round pick.the jets top 3 1st round draft options are probably:1. Vernon Gholston, DE- chris long will be off the board, leavin gholston the best pass rusher available.2. Sedrick Ellis, DT- not likely with the acquisition of kris jenkins, but you never no with how bad the D-line has been3. Darren Mcfadden- i do not think we need him at all, tj is a good rb who just needed a better line, but the jets would deffinatley consider him.options for later in the draft (either another round or if they trade down):1. any qb- matt ryan will not happen, but posibilities include brian brohm, chad henne, colt brennan, andre woodson, and others.2. Limas Sweed, wr- a real playmaking talent from texas, a first round pick only possible through a trade.3. Dan Connor- jets cant get enough of these linebackers, another clear first round who the jets could only acquire via trade. |
