We needed help at corner but I hope they hold on to Barret. He isn't bad and seems to come up with some big turnovers. He could be one of the better nickelbacks in the league. As long as Miller never sees the field as a corner I will be happy. The question is how long can we hold onto a guy who is great at returning kicks but can't contribute anywhere else.
Kinda like you coming on here and throwing a hissy fit about a draft pick that has nothing to do w/ your organization? If Revis is sucha forgettable prospect..why are you here?
1ST AND only team ever to blow that lead? What's desperate? The Jets had a very good season with a coach you know very well and you just seem annoyed for whatever reason...Relax, you pick soon.
When we start smacking you around on a regular basis, are going to keep your avatar of belly hugging Mangini?
That is just silly talk. Players mature and develop in this league. What if we said that about B. Thomas? Miller has had 3 defenses in his last 3 years. Give his some time and a chance to be coached up.
Three CB's off by pick 20, wow and we got the best among the group. Jets=Revis (14) Bengals=Hall (18) Giants=Ross (20) See a trend starting to develop?The only other CB likely to be drafted in the first is Chris Houston, maybe Eric Wright.We shall see. The more this goes on, the happier I am that we didnt sit at 25, becuase at that point we would not have drafted CB since all the top players would have been long gone.I guess a team like New Orleans who might draft a CB will likely be left to ponder whether or not they should have moved up.
I love this pick. In this league, you can never have too many DB's. Especially given that NE just signed a bunch of WR's to big contracts, you want to make sure that you have lots of good DB's. This reminds me of getting Aaron Glenn all those years ago. He fell and we picked him up.
hmy: hmy: hmy: and who would QB this team? Do you REALLY think Clemens or Quinn would be ready? I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense in the grand scheme of things, that would be like taking a step backwards.
There's a difference. First Thomas was not a D1 player out of college. You had to expect a longer adjustment period for him in the nfl. Secondly he saw only spurts of playing time up until last season and he is better suited for the 3-4. Miller has seen more playing than Thomas did early in his career and has gone backwards in his coverage skills. Anything can happen so but I don't see him ever being a starting corner in the nfl. Maybe with some work he can contribute as in nickel and dime situations.
Yea, :up: This has been a surprising but exciting day so far. I'm still laughing at Miami's pick thou. (Hope I feel that way later on in the year)
Miami is going to have a rough year. Buffalo made a nice pick but I am still ecstatic to see McGahee out of our division so I don't have to watch him torch us twice a season.
Almost no positions are as safe as the OL are in the first. CB's less predictable as WR, which is why you almost never see them in the top 5. However, Revis was by a fair margin the best corner in the draft (Hall's vastly overrated) and if you watch the highlights he has great cover skills and is very physical. He's almost a perfect fit in this scheme. BTW, it's nice to see the patsie fans coming in here and ridiculing a pick that their own front office were gunning for as well.
