http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2009/03/new_york_jets_go_to_rutgers_pr.html He could be 1 of the best WRs in the draft. Go RU.
Britt and Maclin are my favorites but i wouldn't mind waiting to see who drops to us in round 2... I think there will be some good WR left when we pick.
If the Jets do look for a WR in the early rounds I hope they go after Britt, not just for his resume, but for his size. I realize that height isn't the be-all-end-all when it comes to receivers, but it seems like the Jets have struggled for a long time in certain situations for the lack of a big receiver that can go up and out-jump guys for the ball. In particular I think their red zone efficiency would be much better with a guy who could threaten teams with fade routes to the corners against shorter dbacks. With Keller as a sizable target over the middle, a big guy spread wide would be that much more potent.
Britt seems like a safe pick, as far as WRs go. Its not like he's suddenly going to shrink after he gets drafted.
There's more to it than his height and timed speed. He has very questionable hands and apparently a questionable work ethic as well. Not to mention he has a typical primadona star WR personality that won't always work to his favor even though it's not completely a bad thing..
Britt stands at 6'2" tall but he plays like he's 6'5". Good speed, good hands and one hell of a down-field blocker. He could probably make a career just out of injuring safeties so Leon Washington doesn't have to make all 11 guys miss...even though he could.
Britt is about the only thing I like about Rutgers. I hope we get him, or the Giants. My heart will be broken if he goes to NE or PHI.
me too... but i think its going to be impossible to land maclin.. but britt robiskie and nicks are all studs..
I saw a mock draft on NFLN that had Miami taking him, I hope not. I'm still haunted by his drop of the Orange Bowl clinching TD in the end zone at WV in 2006, but he's a good WR and we could use him.
The Giants have a very fun habit of drafting players that I want on the Jets. Sinorice Moss in 2006 (turned out we were both wrong), Zak DeOssie in 2007, Bryan Kehl in 2008. I can guarantee that this year the Giants are going to draft either LeSean McCoy or Kenny Britt, if not both.
^Seeing Britt in that black jersey brings back awful memories, only time we wore that jersey was that dreadful game against WVU when we lost 31-3. I was in the stands for that game, the student section despite the heavy rain was pretty pumped but a lil after halftime we all started filing out. That jersey looks sick tho
