Braylon and #29 for Marshall and Dumerville? Thats incredibly one-sided in our favor don't you think? either way I would rather just keep braylon.
HELL YES he worth it. I know people say don't slap the WR we have in the face by going and getting him but the bottom line does he make our OF better HELL YES is the answer Marshall is a beast.
Of course he is. Especially if Braylon Edwards is signed by another team...Either way he would instantly be the best WR on the Jets. If Edwards is signed by another team, Jets would re-coup there 1st rd pick, & add an extra 3rd rounder. If Jets can somehow Get Marshall & CB Cromartie....Jets would look real good going into next season. :metal: Jets can always get a pass rusher later in the draft.
Braylon could be had at 3rd and 5th. No fucking way in hell Marshall gets anything above 2nd. On top of that, Jets don't have a roster spot that could feature him anyway (WR1 - Edwards, WR2 - Cotch: are you suggesting Marshall at WR3? Or better yet, cutting one of the aforementioned two? Either way, it's a mental retardation at its finest.)
Yeah Cotchery would be #3 and Marshall easily #1. And idk how you dont think Marshall cant get above a 2nd. The guy is probably one of the top 5 receivers in the league, and oh hes young (26). Itd effectively be like drafting a receiver who is GUARANTEED to be excellent. If we have glaring needs on defense then thats one thing (gotta see how this business with Rhodes/Rolle/Cromartie turns out) but if we drafted someone like Tate instead of picking up Marshall thats stupid imo. Marshall youre getting a sure thing, and hes young enough to make it worth whilee. The only person who really would get hurt is cotch, and as reliable as he is, he doesnt come close to Edwards or Marshall (who blows these other 2 away completely) And hell if we had those guys wed have a recieving tandem that could match and likely exceed Moss/Welker .
Since when did any potent passing attack feature but 2 prominent receivers then nothing else? If it's the running attack that sets up the big play passes, then Edwards/Cotcher duo is more than good enough, especially with Edwards stretching the defense. Most of all, Marshall is a headcase - the last thing you need in any good lockeroom.
And we do. We severely lack the physical presence up front, as evidenced by the second half melt-down against the Colts at AFCGG. Without intimidating physical presence up front, you would be hard pressed to create any type of pressure. When the QB finds that he has more than ample time in his hands, he will make his share of plays. This is about the last thing any defense wants.
Kris Jenkins. That said, I agree we need to draft more D, cause Jenkins isn't going to last forever, and neither is Douglas, if we even re-sign him.
Oh I know our dine needs help. I was hoping if wed traded Rhodes for a 3rd, picked up Rolle, picked up Fabian Washington (which cant happen) traded our 3 for cro then drafted a de in the 2nd wed be looking good. Obviously that seems rather unlikely to work out that conveniently so assuming we dont somehow get Cro or rolle odds are were getting a corner and de in the first 2 rounds. Still Id have a hard time complaining if we got Marshall simply because it would be an absolute nightmare for defenses. You gotta pretty much double up both Marshall/Braylon which leaves Keller/Cotchery in incredibly favorable matchups, not to mention it would make it fricken impossible for a team to EVER stack the box. I honestly think our offense would be completely uncoverable would beef Sanchezs confidence way up, and make it so much harder for teams to even dream of trying to stop our run.
The #1 defense in the league doesn't have any GLARING holes. We could use a corner, a young defensive lineman, and a pass rusher, but we're a damn good defense without them (though we do need to replace a corner or two). However, that's no reason to trade our first rounder for Marshall. There's a reason he's available. We already traded for Edwards. What we need is a slot receiver, and that would be much cheaper. Use the money and assets we have to keep our defense good for years to come. We don't need another star receiver. We need to use our first rounder somewhere else. Ask the Lions what sinking first round picks into receivers all the time will get you.
We're giving up two corners, including our #2, and a safety. Right now, the defense is the #1 issue with the Jets.
Maybe cornerback counts as a glaring need, you might be right about that, just because Lito is gone and Strickland probably is (though I wouldn't mind bringing him back, I don't know what his cap numbers are). We need another cornerback or two badly, just because we lack the numbers. I don't know what safety you say we're getting rid of, unless you're saying Rhodes. We're tendering Eric Smith.
Eric Smith is not a starting calibre safety in this league. He has done will filling in Doug Plank's spot when the Jets run the 46 but that is not our base defense. At some point the Jets are going to need a SS who can cover and play the run and right now, E. Smith does not count as a safety who can cover.
Marshall for the Jets first rounder, which is almost a 2nd rounder, is an absolute steal for the Jets.
Orton ran thier offense well last season, not great, but not awful. They need him right now. Thats not saying them may not try to draft a young QB to groom, but without Orton in last season thier offense shrivled up to nothing.
In a heartbeat. Marshall is what the Jets were hoping Edwards would become. He's worlds ahead of Edwards and gives us a PB caliber threat on the outside. The talent level is not close IMO. Better yet, Try to package Edwards in a trade for Marshall, lowering the cost. A pipe dream I know, but it would be the best thing for us at thie juncture.
