Draft Scenario 2.1 Video - New York Jets

Draft Scenario 2.0 - New York Jets with video inserts of some prospects...

Trade the 18th pick to the Bengals at 24th and acquire the 88th(3rd) & 123rd(4th)...

With the 24th Pick the New York Jets Select:

Justin Gilbert Oklahoma State

   

The Jets in the 2nd Round need get a wide receiver to tandem with newly signed free agent Eric Decker, so there is a good chance they would move up via trade...

With the 49th pick, & 4th Rd(115) & 5th Rd(154) to move up to the Cleveland Browns 35th pick the New York Jets Select:

WR Allen Robinson Penn State

New York Jets 80th(3rd) & Tampa's 104(4th) should give enough for us to move to at least to the Denver Bronco's 63rd (2nd), where the New York Jets could select:

 WR Jarvis Landry Louisiana State

Now the Jets will have their compensatory 4th Rd pick along with Cincinnati 3rd(88th) & 4th(123rd) picks... The next pick up is the 88th selection in the 3rd Round where the New York Jets Select:

TE C.J. Fiedorowicz Iowa 

Via the Bengals the New York Jets with the 123rd pick Select:

TE Arthur Lynch Georgia 

The first of the New York Jets 4 compensatory picks is in the fourth round pick 137... With the 137th pick the New York Jets Select:

OT/OG Brandon Thomas Clemson

The Jets still need a play maker out of the backfield, so combining the original 6th pick 195, original 7th pick 233 and a future 7th in 2015 the Jets could move back into the 5th round pick 172 owned by the Seattle Seahawks... With the 172nd pick the New York Jets Select:

OW De'Anthony Thomas Oregon

With 3 remaining picks in the 2014 NFL Draft all in the 6th round, compensatory selections the New York Jets Select in order 209, 210, and 213:

FS Dezmen Southward Wisconsin

C Gabe Ikard Oklahoma

DE Ron Powell Florida

That makes one impressive Mock Draft and anything similar to these picks up and down the board will improve the New York Jets Ten Fold, heading towards next season... Hope you enjoyed the breakdown of this Draft Scenario 2.1 Video - New York Jets...

Draft Scenario 3.0 - New York Jets

Probably the most outrageous Mock scenario that I can come up with, so enjoy this "what if" scenario:

New York Jets have 2 starting positions to fill with this draft at WR & CB so lets fill these needs...

Jets own the 18th pick and could look to trade up...

Combining the 18th pick, 80th(3rd) pick & 2015(2nd & 3rd) picks to move into the Cleveland's current 4th Overall Pick(or whomever holds this pick then) to select Sammy Watkins from Clemson...

We still have our 2nd(49th), 3-4ths, 5th, 4-6ths & 7th to work with... Taking our 2nd we could stand pat or use Tampa's 4th along with our 5th to move back into the 1st round (Seattle 32nd Pick)to grab whichever of this CBs are still on the board: [U]Justin Gilbert/Bradley Roby[/U], that is if either are on the board...

Otherwise standing pat at 49th could allow us to grab CB Jason Verrett, Marcus Roberson, Pierre Desir or go in another secondary need an grab FS Jimmie Ward, so possibilities are endless...

Lets say we make the move to trade with Seattle, so now we traded up to the 4th to grab Sammy Watkins and now traded up back into the last pick of the 1st Round to grab our CB Justin Gilbert or Bradley Roby... Now we sit with a good group of additional selections to still fill other needs throughout or roster ( 4th RD: 115, 137C, 6th RD: 195, 209C, 210C, 213C, 7th RD: 233)...

With the 4th round 115th selection we can grab TE/BE Arthur Lynch from Georgia... Our compensatory pick 137 we invest in OT/OG Brandon Thomas from Clemson, sign & IR him...

Now we used the 5th in the trade, but want to move back in the 5th round pick 172 owned by the Seattle Seahawks trade our 195th(6), 233rd(7) and 2015(7) so we can grab OW De'Anthony Thomas to bolster our backfield...

We still have our 3 compensatory 6th rounds...

Depending on how we go with the second round pick will determine what we do here... So lets say we moved up to grab the CB, now have a need for safety...

Safety Dezmen Southward from Wisconsin looks like a very good possibility... Believe the Jets are looking for a backup center and could be Oklahoma's Gabe Ikard or Tennessee's James Stone as possibilities... Finally we need to invest into some depth for the linebacker position, Ron Powell DE/OLB from Florida looks like a good candidate...

In this scenario the final results could end up like this:

4th: WR Sammy Watkins
32nd: CB Justin Gilbert/Bradley Roby
115th: TE/BE Arthur Lynch
137th: OT/OG Brandon Thomas (IR)
172nd: OW De'Anthony Thomas
209th: FS Dezmen Southward
210th: OC Gabe Ikard
213th: DE Ron Powell

[I]Would actually be a good haul of talent and give the Jets a chance to over throw New England this upcoming season...[/I]

If the Jets stand pat in the 2nd Round and select FS Jimmie Ward with the 49th selection, then with Tampa's 4th & our own 5th now back in our draft pocket we can now use these picks to either move back into the 3rd Rd (91st pick Saints)...

Back end of the 3rd Round we could grab CB Phillip Gaines, Keith McGill or Louchiez Purifory to fill this need...

McGill & Gaines have a chance to be open day starters with good training camps, so would be a steal here...

So switching the outcome a bit the new other look this scenario's final result could look like this:

4th: WR Sammy Watkins
49th: FS Jimmie Ward
91st: CB Phillip Gaines/Keith McGill/Louchiez Purifoy
115th: TE/BE Arthur Lynch
137th: OT/OG Brandon Thomas (IR)
172nd: OW De'Anthony Thomas
209th: TE Ted Bolser
210th: OC Gabe Ikard
213th: DE Ron Powell

Either way that 2nd Round pick plays out we still could end up with two very good scenarios...

New York Jets Draft Focus: Tight End Position

There is a lot of debate if the New York Jets should try to draft Eric Ebron from North Carolina... Or wait to round 2 and try to grab either Jace Amaro or Austin Seferian-Jenkins... Well I do agree we need to draft a Tight End not necessarily do we need to look in the first two rounds to find one to pair up with Jeff Cumberland our current resident split end along with second year man Zack Sudfeld...

For me, I believe the best situation is in the mid of day 2 whereas there are plenty of desired talent to which we could land a couple of prospects for this position...

Starting with C.J. Fiedorowicz from Iowa, this kid is known as a good blocker, actually his all around game is terrific... Good versatility, showing the ability to come off a down block to get past defenders as a receiver... Good body control and soft hands for such a large man...

For a team that gave a team friendly contract to their own player Jeff  Cumberland this would be the perfect prospect to bring in... Can play either the #1 or #2 role in Marty M's offense and after the first year in Cumberland's contract their is no dead loss if the team chooses to move on from J.C., which means draft someone that can compete and succeed J.C. after this upcoming season...

This brings me to my point of drafting two tight ends this draft... If we are drafting Cumberland's successor then we will need someone to fill the #2 role after this year... Coincidentally this year offers a surplus of #2 style blocking ends, and the next man up or actually the best blocking end in the draft is valued as a mid 4th round prospect Arthur Lynch from Georgia... The Jets are known to keep four tight ends on the active roster, so why not draft to eligible prospects who fill the need of the team long term not just short term...

Lynch's strength and awareness as an in-line blocker rank among his most impressive attributes at this point in his career... He is quick off the snap, latches onto defenders quickly and securely and is competitive... He is particularly effective on combination blocks in which he initially helps an offensive tackle double-team a defensive lineman before switching off to chip a linebacker at the second level... Lynch shows reliable hands and has a big frame to shield defenders from the ball...

In no way am I stating that Arthur Lynch is one dimensional, actually the opposite he is known as a very good red zone threat and had his chance down the seam where he displayed good hands... He may not have the attempts throw to him, could one blame him for not getting the chances to prove himself, btw he did have Aaron Murray an undersized QB throwing the ball, so maybe he just couldn't find Lynch over the middle... No excuses, just saying...

At the end of the day the Jets should be looking into acquiring a couple of prospects to fill the lack of talent at this position... Cumberland shows promise but he has been with the team for a few seasons now and really hasn't distinguished himself enough to show he could be that guy... How long should we keep waiting on him to step up and assume that role???
