Wade Smith New York Jets Key Restricted Free Agents - Chris Myers Denver 6th round Here is my free agent pickups High Priced DT Albert Haynesworth OG Alan Faneca Mid Priced WR Bryant Johnson WR Brandon Stokely Low Priced CB William Patterson TE Dwayne Blakely Draft 1st QB Matt Ryan Boston College 2nd (a) OT Jeff Otah Pittsburgh 2nd (b) CB Trae Williams South Florida 3rd DE Jeremy Thompson Wake Forest
Here is the way the starting lineup would look for 2008 QB John Beck FB Reagan Miaui RB Ronnie Brown WR Tedd Ginn WR Bryant Johnson WR Brandon Stokely LOT Vernon Carey LOG Alan Faneca C Samson Satele ROG Chris Liwienski ROT Jeff Otah DE Jason Taylor DT Albert Haynesworth DT Vonnie Holliday DE Jeremy Thompson OLB Channing Crowder MLB Zach Thomas (?) OLB Joey Porter CB Will Allen CB Trae Williams S Yeremiah Bell S Jason Allen
High-priced: DE Justin Smith CB Marcus Trufant Mid-level: WR DJ Hackett RB Jamal Lewis (if Ronnie won't be back at the beginning of the season) Low-priced: S Mike Doss TE Nate Jackson Draft picks: #1: DT Glenn Dorsey #32: TE Fred Davis #53: ILB Tavares Gooden #65: CB Chevis Jackson Personally, I'd like to see what we can get for Jason Taylor in a trade. Depending on how the draft plays out and what we get for JT, I can envision trading back into the 1st round to pick up another defensive player.
Yeah my first choice is to trade down but not out of the top 10. JT is a possibility but it would really have to be worth it. I dont want to trade him just for the sake of trading him
The one guy who jumps out at me from that list is Moorehead from Panthers, he filled in while Kris Jenkins was injured, and he can play DT at a high level. Max Starks from the Steelers as well. After that and down the "need" list: CB Randall Gay is a pretty good DB or Eugene Wilson at S. And dirt cheap: David Patton. Tuisasopo from the Jets First 4 picks in the draft: Unknown really. We still have the Bowls and the combine and personal workouts. And we have a few guys we should resign like Lehan Chatman Hadnot. T Starks G Mormino, Alabi, Toledo. C Satele G Hadnot/LK3 T Carey. John Beck Reagen Mauia Chatman or Moore or McFadden TE Peele Wr. Ginn Wr Patton LB's WSLB Joey Porter MLB Derek Pope SSLB Channing Crowder (or draft choice) DE Jason Taylor (if not traded) DT Kendil Moorehead DT Rod Wright DE Moses or Roth or a platoon CB Andre Goodman Will Allen Randall Gay SS Jason Allen FS Eugene Wilson And we need special teams reorganization on kick coverages especially.
I'll give it a shot: HIGH - Jared Allen and Bob Sanders MED - Bryant Johnson and Jordan Gross LOW - Jabar Gaffney and Justin Smiley DRAFT 1- Glen Dorsey - DT 2a - Mike Jenkins - CB 2b - John Carlson - TE 3 - Shawn Crable - DE/OLB
Kick coverages have been a nightmare this year. Moorehead is a nice spot. What happened to Patton the last month. He just disappeared after a couple of good games
yeah....probably right considering the options. I think that Bryant Johnson will also make out ok considering the other WR options. Especially if he takes advantage of the opportunity he has now with Fitz and Boldin ailing, I think he'll be the top FA WR (assuming Moss stays with the Patsies (they have an club option with hime, right)).
The Saints may be switching offensive focus? Patton is a sure handed Wr, and a winner, we need a solid possesion WR, and there looks to be some good Te's available, but how well do they block? Moorehead is a pretty decent player, he just is in Jenkins shadow, I couldn't find stats on him but he really played great in 2005 and 06 when Jenkins went down. Starks would be a good young Olineman pickup, he would be an upgrade over Shelton IMO.
Yeah depending on how it breaks, johnson could get a nice payday. The good thing is it seems there is alot of talent available for us in free agency. I think our draft is really going to be shaped by who we are able to acquire. I think we should be in very good cap shape with the players we dumped and if Zach retires or is let go that should free up even more
FA Justin Smith DE Suggs LB Marcus Trufant CB LJ Smith TE Draft Trade down or Dorsey Got to think about the rest
