Lol the fact that they all want the Jets to go offense is funny because it's looking like they may very well go defense again.
I been following the Jet's drafts for a long time and one thing is certain........most Jet fan's predictions for the 1st Rd are usually wrong. I've predicted (the day before the draft started) the 1st Round pick for the Jets only five times in the last 25+ years.......Keyshawn Johnson, S. Ellis, Santana Moss, Jonathan Vilma & D-Brick.
I'm going to go against them all and say that the Jets are going to pick one of the 3-4 pass rushing OLB. This is based on the weakness in the secondary (mask it with a pass rush) and Seattle's emphasis on dominating defense (Idzik factor). The Jets will get a CB in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th rounds this time.
Well it's hard to predict the pick when they're usually not picking in the top 5 because you'd also have to be able to pick for all the other teams. Just hope they pick a productive player.
I don't know if Jarvis Landry is a 1st rounder, but I really like him as an NFL prospect as well. He's got the toughness of Anquan Boldin. If we can't get Lee, would love Landry on the other-side of Decker
Ideally, I'd like to trade down to the mid 20s or so, pick up an extra 3rd, and take Lee. I firmly believe he will be the best WR in this class. I'd also be more than happy to take Lee at 18.
As I've been saying, I think Ebron's more likely to bust than become the "next Vernon Davis," despite what the overwhelming majority of the free world seems to think. The guy runs a 4.6. He's not Vernon Davis. As for his "seam stretching" ability, here's a comparison for you: Player A: Played in NFL last season, did not start every game. 26 Rec, 15.3 YPC, 4 TD, runs a 4.45 Player B: Played in ACC. 62 Rec, 15.7 YPC, 3 TD, runs a 4.6 Player B is obviously Ebron. Player A is Jeff Cumberland. As far as blocking, player B is on record as being nonchalant at best when it comes to this part of his game. He had his share of drops as well. Ebron could become great. But I think there's more risk here than most people think. I don't see evidence of the work ethic, the desire to be great, etc. What I see and hear out of him leads me to believe the opposite. And that would scare me if I'm a GM picking in the early to mid 1st-round.
I totally agree with you, before this guy was constantly touted as being so amazingly great I was watching his film and I didn't really like his playing style. He just doesn't show that excitement and effort between and during plays, he doesn't do everything he can on every play to make the team succeed, especially when he doesn't have the ball in his hands. To be fair, it's not just his 40 that makes him a physical beast, it's also his body control, vert, and overall athleticism. Now understand I don't mean I'd draft Amaro with the 18, but I'd rather have Amaro despite his more limited athleticism. Whatever he lacks in skill in comparison to Ebron, he makes up for in intensity, focus, and effort. If these guys are all right and Ebron goes that high, I think he has bust potential written all over him.
Agreed. I honestly think his stock has fallen so much recently among the media and fans because of that silly video "proving" that Lee has terrible hands. Lee could absolutely be the BPA at 18.
