A Very Unique Mock-offseason

Bernard Berrian is better than Coles and Cotchery...he's not going to take the backseat to either of them. If Chicago had steady QB play, Berrian would put up big numbers.

He's one of the best deep threats in the NFL -- he's the new Joey Galloway.

 

I started throwing up when I saw Zbikowski in the third.

Not only is that probably too early, but safety/secondary isn't as huge a need right now.

I don't think I want any part of Faneca. He's getting up there in age, he's going to cost a ton, and he hasn't played all that well for a year and a half now. The best two OL signings this offseason will be Andrews and Smiley IMO.

 

I agree that A.Samuels would make this secondary second to none with A.Samuels, D.Revis and K.Rhodes... But to me... He will be a little to expensive... Im not taking anything away from Samuels but keep in mind... He is playing behind a Patriots Defense, who knows if he would be as great with the Jets.

I would much rather this Jets team put that same type of money on T.Suggs to go along with Vilma and Harris. Suggs, Harris, Vilma, Barton/Thomas... Wow... That would be one of the best Linebackers in all of footall with Revis and Rhodes playing behind them.

And if we can draft D.McFadden... no way we can pass up on the best player in the nation... No way. McFadden is not R.Buch hype, he is 4real

 

Like the Pats would let us pick someone that we could use in the 34.

 

I also started throwing up when I saw Zbikowski. As an avid Irish fan, I have been saying for years now that this kid sucks. He's a pretty good PR, but he's no safety, even at the college level. He plays risky, and makes tons of dumb mistakes. He was stupid to go back for another year. He's just not a good player at all and his draft stock took a huge hit. Whoever drafts him is just going to end up leaving him on the bench.

 

I would be pretty happy with that offensive line...Stacy Andrews would be a nice young RT and Alan Feneca would be a good vet to have.

There are aot of things in this mock offseason that I want to see happen.

 

Heres who i would look at if I were the jets.

RT Jordan Gross or Max Starks...both solid tackles. Gross is more technically sound where Starks is just a monster. Either would be an upgrade.

LB Terrell Suggs...this is the move the Jets need to make. Suggs has taken a step back in production this year but it's because the ravens are playing a 4-3. If I'm the Jets he's my number one priority this offseason and because of the drop in production he shouldn't be that expensive to sign. You get him in here to rush t he passer and add a guy like Chris Long to play DE and our defense just got a hell of a lot better.

WR Bernard Berrian - this is a perfect fit for the Jets. Coles and Cotch are both the same type of receiver. They are possesion guys who are good after the catch Berrian would be the deep threat and the perfect compliment to the other two.

Those are my signings this offseason if I am the Jets along with a new NT. I honestly don't know enough about what makes a dt a good fit for the 3-4 so I am not recommending anyone but guys like Albert Haynesworth, Mike Rucker, Tommy Kelly (esp if we bring in Ryan to run the D) are out there.

 

Max Starks lost his starting job to Willie Colon from Hofstra...no thanks. Any Steelers fan will tell you that the reason they have had issues this year is the offensive line. Starks is huge but does not move well, he's average at best and struggles run blocking since he's so tall. He's very similar to Clement, too many weaknesses in his game.

Faneca was a great player and some stupid team will overpay for one or two years of 80% of what he was. After that he will just be a huge burden against the cap.

Signing Samuel makes no sense. He's a top notch corner but look at the defense in front of him? His team always gets pressure on the qb and stops the run. You never want to overpay for cornerbacks. You can draft them in the mid rounds and develop them. We are going to have to pay Rhodes a lot money so to have all that money tied up in Rhodes and Revis we need to spread the wealth to other units.

I want to sign Stacy Andrews and draft Dorsey. Rotate Dorsey along the line with Coleman and Ellis. We will become a great team through the draft and selective free agent signings. Target one offensive lineman and one defensive front 7 player and go get them. We should have 3 picks in the top 100 so we can get 3 more impact players.

Players to be cut:
J-mac
Barrett
Adrian Clarke
Dyson

Players to trade if possible:
Pennington
Robertson

I'd like to see a bigger role for Pouha next year on 1st and 2nd down. Bring Mosley in on obvious passing plays. I don't know what Vilma's story is for next year but i'm assuming we don't trade him and he's not healthy to start the season. It would be stupid to trade a player whose value is at it's lowest.

The keys for next season are:
1) LG

2) RT

3) Defensive line

4) weakside linebacker

5) cornerback

6) wide reciever

7) depth at TE and other positions.

 

I actually thought you did a really good job with your mock off-season. It was that one pick that I would never make. I don't know who would be a better pick there. I can definitely live with a safety there, just not that one haha. I endured enough of girls professing their love for "Zibby" at ND games, and I don't want to hear it at Jets games now too haha. I've just never been impressed by his safety play.

 

I love this pick. Despite my terrible hatred of Notre Dame, I'd love to have this guy on the Jets. He has plenty of upside and gives us another return option. He's a tough player with great instincts, plenty of speed, and he could make our secondary one of the best in the league. Getting him and Samuel/Gay and locking up Rhodes long term and the back four will be set for years.

About your lineup, what about Mosely at DE?

 

might be a homer pick here but being that i got to see him play but if you're gonna go for the white boy safety in the third take a look a Jamie Silva. This kid might not have the physical gifts but he is a ballplayer, plain and simple. He makes plays, has a great nose for the ball and has a nonstop motor combined with a great work ethic and character. The only issue i see is that he might be a little too similar to Rhodes in terms of his game. Not the best in coverage but let him roam and he'll make some big plays.

Another guy that i'm not sure will be there in the third but is worth a good look is CB Dejuan Tribble, good physical corner that can be left alone with the best of them. Pair him with Revis and in 2-3 years we might have the best CB tandem in the league a la baily + bly
I'm not the best evaluator of college talent so take this with a grain of salt, just throwing out two names that i know pretty well that might fit in the Jets plans for the future


...just waiting for Mrelectric to chime in telling me how wrong i am

 

Why do you wanna cut Dyson?

We might as well keep him if he's healthy next year.

I agree we need to go after suggs ferociously.

I dont know enough about Guards to really tell you who we should get, I think more people need to admit that as well, but that would be the number one need for sure a LG and then after that a RT.
