Who (or what position) do the Jets target with the (1 Viewer)

[Sweet Love]

The Jets can go a couple of ways here. They could possibly package the 4th and 29th pick for the 1st pick and select Bush (although I do not know if that is enough to move up into that #1 slot) or they could target a specific position (like O-line) and see what drops to them. I am unsure whether D'Brick will fall to them, so this pick could come in real handy.

I have been pretty impressed with the new regime thus far and am anxious to see what they do.

I actually went to the same college as Mangini and people have told me that he was a pretty smart guy, so I think the Jets will be in good hands.

having a pick at 29 puts them in front of Indy if the Jets want to grab a back that falls. Since Mangini comes from the Pats, who value picks, they could trade down into the top of the 2nd and pick up some additional picks.

Probably depends on two things:

1) Where they go with the 4th

2) What players are available

I think too many positions to fill, so I doubt Jets trade up. Also, it looks like they are stock-piling picks, otherwise they would have added the 3rd and 4th to get the Falcons' 15th, instead of the Broncos. Based on this, I don't see them trading up.

Some possibilities I see...

1) If D'Brick falls to the 1.04- grab him. One of the RB's are bound to slip to the 29th, so maybe they go that route. (This is what I'm pulling for)

2) If not, possibly Hawk with the 4th, OL with the 29th and RB in the 2nd (Calhoun, Addai, etc).

3) D'Williams (or White) with the 1.04 and OL with the 29th (my least favorite).

I doubt they'd go RB with the 4th pick since there are a few they may think that are serviceable to be had later. I think they go D'brick #4 or Leinart. Then they may go with RB at #29. Then load up with more O-line and defensive depth with the rest of their picks.

I say they target the 2nd pick and Matt Lienert....

Actually I'm surprised no one suggested a DE at 29. It would appear they have quite a need, and several very good ones should be there. Course because of that they may feel like they can wait till that 2d rounder......

 

[s_ezy]

with the 29th pick in the 2006 nfl draft,

the New York Jets select:

Nick Mangold, Center from The Ohio State University

reasoning?

Mangini is a Bill Belichick guy, and what could be a more boring, err Belichick move than taking a blue collar offensive lineman

also need a replacement for Mawea

 

[NYRAGE]

I agree, Mangold. I wouldn't be surprised to see Carpenter as the pick either.

How do they need a DE???- Ellis and Von Ol.

Also Mario Williams who could replace Abraham in the pass rush and is also big enough to be an effective 3-4 DE has to be considered at 1.04. Mangold to replace Mawae at 29 wouln't be a bad idea.

I don't think the Jets will need 3 DE's though in Ellis, Von Olhoffen and Williams- That move really wouldn't make much sense to me.

I see the Jets sending 1.04 and 1.29 to NO for 1.02, and they take Leinart. The Saints take Brick (who they probably would have taken anyway at 1.02) and get another first rounder for free.

I can definitely see that, but as a Jets fan, I would like to see them build the entire team (requiring more picks) and see what pans out this year between Penny and Ramsey...they could always go QB next year if that combo does not work out!

I've openly questioned in other threads whether the J-E-T-S JETS!, JETS!, JETS! would roster a Top 5 overall rookie QB, Pennington, and Ramsey, as that would be overkill in my book.If I were a Jets fan (and I'm indifferent), if they do not intend to take a QB I think that they should trade down and get more picks. If Denver aspires to target someone early, maybe they could trade 1.04 for 1.15 and 1.22, thus getting them 3 first rounders overall.

We could debate whether they would want to pick up the tab on three first round picks, but that might make more sense if the team needs help in several locations and they don't want to spend Top 5 money on the QB they DIDN'T want (assuming that their guy was already taken).

Given the lay of the land, I am not sure if the Jets still desire Cutler. I am not big on mapping out mock drafts, but I wonder if Cutler would be around at 1.15 if they did trade for Denver's newly acquired 1.15 pick.

as a Jet fan.. this is the way I would like the Jets to try to address the draft

1.04 D'Brick.. (unless somehow Leinhart falls)

1.29 Marroney or DeAngelo if they fall

2.04 best interior lineman

This way the Jets could turn over 2/5 of their offensive line in one year and add Curtis' replacement.. (Plus 2nd year Tackle Adrian Jones on the other Tackle spot) you have a very young offensive nucleus.

the Defense is young.. take advantage this year and rebuild the corp of your offense

I don't think the Jets should draft an RB in the 1st round. They have Martin still playing, Blaylock is back from injury, and Houston is on his rookie deal. None of those guys are going anywhere, and they also will liklely draft a FB in the 5th or so. An RB doesn't make sense - especially since good ones can routinely be had later in the 1st and in the 2nd round as well.

Assuming the Jets have done their diligence and are sold on one of the QBs in the draft, I think they have to go get him. Neither Pennington nor Ramsey are likely to be the starter for this team in 2007, which means that the starter isn't yet on the roster. If now is when you have the high pick, and you find a QB you love, you go and you land him.

If the Jets aren't sold on any of the QBs, I could see Mario or Ferguson at 1.04. Olehoffen is 35 and is just there to teach a younger player how to play the position. Sounds like a match made in heaven for Mario.

Really though, while lots of people are talking about the Jets needs on the O-line, I suspect that the Jets will fill the T position in FA (Runyan or Ashworth), draft another big body in the 4th or so, and try to develop Marco Kavka, who was injured all last year.

The real needs that the Jets have that will be filled on day one are at DE and CB. I expect one of those positions to be filled at 1.29.

with Runyan resigning in Philly.. back to the drawing board for the Jets...I'm still pushing for 2 offensive linemen in the first 3 rounds (4 total picks).. rebuild there first, it is the heart of any good-football team.. you cannot win without it (ask the Houston Texans)
