Draft Prospects
Lets discuss any prospects that we should look into drafting. Me personally im thinking a corner in the first round followed up with a OL and DE to round out the roster with the first three picks.
Jazz:
Allen l Wagner
Randle l Olynyk
Porter Jr l Marshall l Tucker
Herro l Okogie l Payton
Fox l Jones

We deperatly need a true #1 CB but I have a feeling we won't get one with our 1st pick. Revis would be a drue come true in the 1st round. Other than that...best player avaible i guess, maybe even olsen or we might go OL. I doubt we go with a pass rusher after all the depth we've added to the d-line this offseason.

We still need OLine help since Kendall is getting old and last year we had one of the worst rushing attacks in the league. Justin Blaylock fits the mold of a "Mangini type player" (if there is something like that) and he is a big road grader from a big program.
I can't see Mangini taking a CB early since he showed last season that he knows about a football team having it's strength from the trenches. This draft is very deep, I expect the Jets to go lines once again early...

I will gi list of possible picks for the Jets with either their first rounder or with one of their second rounders. Feel free to add more names...
LaMarr Woodley (Michigan) 3-4 LB, 6-2, 270
Woodley stock has been falling since the Wolverines' loss to USC. Even with raising questions, Woodley is a tremendous athlete and great prospect. He just is He is a natural football player. He might be the perfect fit for the Outside Linebacker spot where the Jets lack size and pass rushing ability. He might be picked right between our picks.
Aaron Sears (Tennessee) OT, 6-4, 335
Sears could help the Jets to form a tremendous offensive line for years to come. Kendall is aging and Clement isn't a lock for the starter job next year. Sears has versatility and great size. He comes from a big porgram and has good experience playing for years in the SEC. Another player though who might be a stretch with our first rounder.
Justin Blalock (Texas) OT, 6-4, 335
Another potential road grader on the offensive line. Blalock is known for his great understanding of the game and smarts. A high character player who would fit right in with Mangini's new system and the makeup of the Jets roster. Despite having tremendous size he is very quick a agile. Another weight room fanatic too.
Quentin Moses (Georgia) 3-4 LB, 6-5, 255
His stock has fallen since his bad senior year at Georgia. A player with his athletic ability and speed is still an elite level prospect. Won't be big enough to play DE in a 3-4 defense but his speed off the edge could cause havoc from the OLB position. Character questions and work ethic might be an issue but he could be a steal later with his skillset. Had a great bowl performance.
Aaron Ross (Texas) CB, 6-1, 192
Interesting prospect with big upside. He didn't start until his senior year where he truly helped his stock. Provides good size and great athletisism paired with solid ball skills/hands. At times he's a gambler and he doesn't have great timed speed even though he recovers very well.
Manuel Ramirez (Texas Tech) OG, 6-4, 328
He could add depth and size for the upcoming Jets offensive line. Provides a mean streak and he is a good run blocker. With Kendall aging and last year's bad rushing attack, he would help in both areas. Thomas Jones needs holes to run through and Ramirez could produce immediately.
Greg Olsen (Miami FL) TE, 6-4, 252
He is regarded by many as the best Tight End of this year's Draft class. A converted wide receiver, Olsen brings incredible athletic ability and outstanding speed to the table. Just an average blocker and a bit small for a big leage TE. Mangini who is known for caring a lot about good blocking from his players, might want to go a different direction even though Olsen seems like a perfect pass for the West Coast Offense and would gie Chad Pennington another dangerous target.
Anthony Spencer (Purdue) 3-4 LB, 6-3, 265
Explosive pass rusher with good technique and leverage. Spencer has good experience and is also a good player against the run. He would also have to learn position and that might make people shy of his abilities in the 3-4 and in a new role. He is a very smart player though who has a knack for making plays and operating with a great motor.
Chris Houston (Arkansas) CB, 5-10, 190
Houston is an outstanding athlete with great speed at the cornerback position. He faced some of the best wide receivers in the nation and answered the bell by shutting them down. Rumors though say that Houston is a much better athlete as he is a football player which maybe describes his recent rising stock during the workout period. Raw but Mangini loves cornerbacks he can form.
LaMarr Woodley (Michigan) 3-4 LB, 6-2, 270

Honestly I dont mind going to the line in the first rounder, like you said Blalock seems to be the ideal pick for us. With Woodley and Rameriez as the second round picks. Man there would be no sexy picks, but damn thats building the team the right way.

If we somehow end up with Woodley AND Blaylock I would go nuts. That would be an absolute PERFECT draft...

Apparently he also top scored in the Wonderlic with a 41 out of a possible 50. I know the Wonderlic doesn't always mean anything (think Vince Young). but Mangini and Tannenbaum seem to have a high stock in it. If I remember correctly, the Jets' draft last year featured the highest average score out of any team... so I wouldn't be surprised if this moves him up on our draft board.
