2008 Jets Roster Thread
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2008 8:07 pm
QB: Clemens vs Chad - Honestly Tangini, I cant see them passing up a nice offer if we get one for Chad but it seems like he'll be here for the long haul and battle Kellen for the 2008 QB spot.
HB: Thomas Jones & Leon Washington - Personally, I really like this combination and TJ had an underwhelming year but we have a garbage, one of the worst offensive lines in the league... I think this is not a position of need but if a Jonathan Stewart, Rashard Mendenhall drops to round 2, of course you draft them but that won't be the case.
TE: I really like Chris Baker. He needs to work on picking up blitzes but he has tremendous hands, possibly the best hands on our team. We definitely need to use him more.
FB: We need one desperately... Late in the draft, a versatile H-Back who can catch or block.. Barnes is gone, believe he is with the Bills.
WR: Cotchery at this point is good but not a #1 and he doesn't have breakaway speed. He is a terrific possession receiver, he's one of my favorite jets and he's important to this team. Coles, I have no idea if we are going to keep him or not. He's injury prone... he's getting older, not sure if he'll be here. We need depth in this position. We need to get rid of Brickcariens. David Ball and Clowney are unproven, we need to address this area.
Offensive Line: Oh my god, terrible. D'Brick regressed but it doesn't help when you have the worst OG in the league in Adrian Clarke. He is gone. Also we cannot have Clement and Brandon Moore is average at best. We need to address this in FA and in the draft, bottom line.
Defensive line: probably our 2nd biggest need.... we need a real NT and rumors are that DeWayne Robertson is on his way out.. I like Coleman but he's average at best and Shaun Ellis hasn't been good since Abraham was traded. We need to upgrade badly with some pass rush here.
Linebackers: Harris is a monster, keeper. Barton is trash, good for depth but not a legit NFL starter. Our ends are terrible... My god, Bryan Thomas what a huge bust and Victor Hobson is not an OLB, nor does he have the size.. I'd keep him if it were cheap as backup ILB but he's likely to move on. We really need to fill this position via the draft, there are many good OLB what will be available and some ILBs too.
Secondary, I really like our secondary. Obviosly, Rhodes and Revis are keepers. Elam showed flashes of being a worthy starter and Eric Smith played well too. We will get Justin Miller back so we automatically add speed and hopefully convert him to a full time nickle. Hank Poteat is good for depth but we need a better starter. Obviously Samuel is a big time FA but he costs way too much and this draft is definitely full of bgi time CB prospects. Personally, I'd rather pick up a solid FA to be the #2 CB on this team..
oh ya, we must get rid of Ben Graham.
