The Jets went from 4-12 in 2005 to 10-6 in 2006. How did they do this? Well lets see, they did something last year that we NEED to do this year. They drafted 2 offensive linemen in their first 2 picks. I'm not saying we need to do just that but 2 of our first 3 picks should be O-Line.

It is amazing how much better a team is when a running back has room to run and a quarterback has time to throw. Even last year with the Jets, there was a marked improvement and they could be scary this year with those two first round picks having a year's worth of experience under their belt.

The offensive line is an issue of desperate need. We can worry about getting that burner for a WR next year or that depth at linebacker or that lights out ball hawk of a safety. If we don't give the offense a chance we simply will copy what we have done the last few years.

I think Ronnie Brown could be an above average runner, he just needs some lanes to open up through an effective passing game and a legitimate offensive line!
 
I would have no problem with a draft that looked something like this:

1. Brady Quinn, QB
2a. Joe Staley, LT
2b. Ryan Kalil, C
3. Zach Miller, TE

Of course, every one one of those guys would have to fall about half a round lower than projected, so I'm not holding my breath on ANY of them.

ok dude...if i had that draft, i would be the happiest man on the planet. but i think this would be more realistic:

R1: Brady Quinn....franchise QB
2a: Sidney Rice...WR to give Chambers/Booker room to run.
2b: Zach Miller...much needed TE help.
R3: Josh Beekman....C.

after all that, suddenly our offense looks like a top 10 offense...in a year or two
 
once the jets win the superbowl...then and only then will i even consider "copying" the jets...
 
JETS SUCK SUCK SUCK! JETS SUCK SUCK SUCK!!! JETS SUCK SUCK SUCK!!!
Terrible lets worry about what our fins are doing and not copy the jets!
 
Sporting News does something likke that with our Mock;
#9- Quinn
#40-Beekman
#60-Marten
#71-Josh Gattis S from Wake Forest
I like the idea of getting two Northern boys from a school that turns out more lineman prospects than anybody, to cover Quinn if indeed he does come to Miami. And Josh Gattis might be a reach in the early third, but he is a boomer at the safety position with good speed.
 
brother chilly... I sure wish you would have chosen a different thread title.. this one turns my stomach... you have a great point, and I agree with bite the bullet and spend some picks on o-line... but darn do I hate the jets.
 
Worry about what our fins are doing is what I am talking about, by learning from what others have done!

While we might not have agreed on much lately, I do agree with you on that.
I really hate the Jets.
 
I think if you are in here and you don't hate the Jets then you are lost! But the fact remains that making multiple o-line picks early in the draft is going to be essential to the phins success.
 
Isnt it a no brainer by now?

I don't think it is a no-brainer...for those Ginn lovers out there that would mean ginn in the first, a qb in the second with an o-lineman also in the second. QB and O-Line is what the first two rounds should be about....NO GINN
