We have so many holes and an undetermined amount of cap space I have no idea what we are even working with. We're gonna need two new starters on the OL probably, along with a TE/WR/RB situation severely lacking depth. Very skeptical about next year right now. Foles is a natural fit to push Sanchez if we can get him. I'm not too worried about the D. I feel RR can put together a solid D with minimal talent out there, he has before.
If they trade Revis for a first, I'd say get Bernard with the first and look at the BPA or a safety in the second.
In the Buffalo game, there were at least two occasions (maybe three) where he easily beat his man but had to slam on the brakes and come back to make a circus catch on an underthrown "Sanchez Special". I think he has something left, and I think he truly wants to be here. I'd have no problem with a core of Holmes, Edwards, Hill and Kerley in 2013. I think that group with a healthy Keller could be pretty productive. I know I'm in the minority, but I don't think our weapons are nearly as bad as what's being said. I'd say we're average overall. We lost our two most prolific pass catchers for most of the season, and our most explosive player (McKnight) was banged up all year. Put those three guys back in the lineup with a viable NFL QB and I think our scoring will be fine next year.
QB: Geno Smith, Mark Sanchez, Greg McElroy HB: Gio Bernard, Bilal Powell, Joe McKnight, Marcus Lattimore (5th or 6th round) FB: UFA/FA WR: Holmes, Hill, Kerley, Gates, Late round pick TE: 3rd Round pick, Jeff Cumberland, Hayden Smith LT: D'Brickashaw Ferguson LG: Vlad Ducasse C: Nick Mangold RG: Brandon Moore RT: Austin Howard LE: Muhammad Wilkerson RE: Quinton Coples DT: Kenrick Ellis, Damon Harrison OLB: 1st Round pick MLB: Rolando McClain, Demario Davis OLB: 2nd Round pick / FA CB: Antonio Cromartie, Kyle Wilson, Tyrann Matheui, Isaiah Trufant, Darrin Walls FS: 4th Round Pick, Josh Bush SS: Stevie Brown, Antonio Allen, Late round pick K: New kicker late round pick or undrafted P: Robert Malone In this scenario I'm trading Revis for a 1st and 2nd. Harris for a 3rd or 4th and Pouha for a late rounder. I like Geno, if he's not there at 9 then I'd go OLB 9 then Gio on the other first (unless Kennan Allen or Cordarelle Patterson are there). If possible, I would trade our #9 to get another 2nd, this would mean BPA at our needed positions. If Geno is there at 9 and we have good trade partners for the pick, I'd take the trade. Stock up this offense for our next QB. Moore is still one of the top guards in the NFL, cheap low year deal for him. I take a flyer on Lattimore in the late rounds. I really think that he would be something special once healthy. Also take a flyer on Tyrann. Really like him, and I think he would be a solid nickel corner in the mid to later rounds. Stevie Brown from the Giants is a ball hawk, and I'm pretty sure that he's a FA. I pick up Rolando McClain after the Raiders release him. I think that he instantly becomes our #1 MLB. Can cover a lot better than Harris, and had much more upside. New kicker, don't like Folk. If we manage to trade Revis and get a 1st and 2nd, I'd trade the 2nd for Percy Harvin. A group of Hill, Harvin, and Kerley with a QB would be exciting to watch. I didn't put much time into this, so the picks might be mixed around.
Sanchez missed a half dozen passes to Edwards in those few games. In addition, some of the passes that Edwards did catch were tough catches that killed his stride. That being said, right now, he is better than any alternative on our roster.
QB: Matt Moore, Sanchez, McElroy RB: Andre Ellington, Powell, McKnight WR: Holmes, Kerley, Hill, Edwards TE: Fred Davis, Cumberland, Hayden Smith LT: Ferguson LG: Ducasse C: Mangold RG: Moore, Late Round Pick RT: Howard DE: Wilkerson, Coples DT: Ellis OLB: Dion Jordan, Victor Butler, McIntyre MLB: Harris, Davis, Late Round Pick, Bellore CB: Revis, Cromartie, Wilson, Trufant SS: Jonathan Cyprien, Allen FS: Bell, Bush Draft picks are in bold. Free agents in italics. Fred Davis might be pushing it a bit but ideally, we can afford him.
Jennings is 30 years old already, he isnt gonna be as expensive as a Mike Wallace or someone like that
I have us signing 4 or 5 new players through free agency, If that isnt possible then Woody should just sell the team and fire everyone
This is a fun topic and very much applies to the near future. I hope there is some change, but nothing too crazy. Here we go. This assumes we trade Revis for picks (maybe Foles included) and that we trade down in the draft for more picks, and also involves trading Pou'ha. I have a sneaking suspicion that it will happen. I don't see all that many FA acquisitions to be honest. Offense: QB: Mark Sanchez / Nick Foles / Nassib (winner of competition starts, Nassib stays for a while and develops regardless) RB: Reggie Bush / Powell / McKnight OT: Ferguson + Austin Howard + 3rd round pick OG: Ducasse + Slauson + 2nd round pick (Slauson goes backup I hope and signs cheap) C: Mangold TE: Tony Gonzales + Cumberland + 5th round pick WR: Holmes, Percy Harvin, Kerley, Hill FB: Hilliard comes back for cheap Defense: NT: Ellis DE: Wilkerson / Coples ILB: Harris / Davis OLB: late first round pick + McIntyre + 3rd rounder CB: Cromartie / Wilson + 4th round pick S: Landry / Allen / Bush + 2nd round pick Special teams: Kicker: Folk resigns Punter: Malone KR: Harvin PR: Kerley The other picks will have to do with NT RB & more offensive linesmen!
I hope that your talking about a different Tony G. and not the one who says he's retiring and the Falcons are trying to persuade to stay. Why would he come to the Jets if the Falcons want him back?
Big difference between signing 4-5 players to fill depth, than signing 4-5 players that could be considered top prospects for their positions. Jennings Keller or Walker Barwin Smith Landry Bell Cribbs Bradshaw You have to consider our own free agents as well.
QB: Matt Moore, Sanchez, McElroy RB: Stepfan Taylor, Powell, McKnight WR: Holmes, Kerley, Hill, Edwards TE: Vance McDonald, Cumberland, Hayden Smith LT: Ferguson LG: Ducasse C: Mangold RG: Moore, 3rd Round Pick RT: Howard DE: Wilkerson, Coples DT: Ellis OLB: Dion Jordan, McIntyre MLB: Harris, Davis, Late Round Pick, Bellore CB: Revis, Cromartie, Wilson, Trufant SS: Allen, fa/late round pick FS: Bell, late round pick
^Not bad at all. Realistic. OL looks weak, not sure how Howard will be in zone block and Ducasse can't be counted on. We can only do so much in one off year though.
^ True, and then in 2014 draft we focus on more O line help to go along with one of the two QB's if we're somehow lucky enough to draft either of them.
trade Cro for a 2 and a 4. Draft (rough, off top of head) 1. Chance Warmack 2a. Gio Bernard 2b. DeAndre Hopkins 3. Chase Thomas 4a. Philip Thomas 4b. Travis Kelce 5. Devin Taylor 6. Philip Lutzenkirchen 7. Zach Line QB: Sanchez, Moore (sign him for cheap), McElroy RB: Bernard, Powell, McKnight FB: Line G: Warmack, Slauson T: Howard, Brick C: Mangold TE: Kelce, Lutz, Cumberland WR: Tone, Hill, Hopkins, Bray, Kerley DT: Ellis, DeVito DE: Coples, Wilkerson OLB: Thomas, Taylor MLB: Harris, Davis S: Thomas, Bell, Allen CB: Revis, Wilson
Revis for a 1st and 3rd Offense QB: Foles (for 3rd or 4th rounder), Sanchez, McElroy RB: Gio Bernard (Revis trade), Powell, McKnight FB: Hillard / Josh Baker WR: Holmes, Braylon, Kerley, Stephen Hill, C.Gates TE: Dennis Pitta (FA signing), Josh Baker LT: Brick LG: Chance Warmack (first rounder) CN: Nick Mangold RG: Brandon Moore RT: Austin Howard Defense (3-4 setup) LE: Wilkerson RE: Coples NT: Pouha / Ellis ROLB: McIntyre / DeMario Davis LOLB: Chase Thomas (3rd round) / DeMario Davis MLB: David Harris / Rolando McClain (clears waivers - Jets pick him up) CB: Cromartie, Wilson, Tyrann Matheui (4th round) Safeties: Bell / Bush
Ite ditch the Barwin idea then forget him, Focus on WR's Amendola Cribbs and Bradshaw. Forget Jennings. We can sign Cribbs to a 1 year deal, Amendola to a 3 because of his injury history. And Bradshaw to a 1 year deal. But these guys would make us better on offense much better
I love a lot of those picks but I think you're being optimistic that Hopkins and Kelce fall to us. I think Kelce will be gone in the late 2nd, he's a complete player.
