I know... they can trade down with Miami- and Miami will pick Cutler with the number 4!!
Well I dont know how this would be a smokescreen. "Smokescreens" usually involve a team who is posturing by saying that they will take a certain player at that position- in order to push other teams to trade up with them.
If the Jets really wanted to smokescreen they would say they were very interested in Vince Young to maybe get a team like Detroit or Arizona to trade with them.
And they way things are looking now- they might have to trade UP to get Cutler.
My guess is that Vince Young and Matt Leinart are really going to have to be involved in every aspect of the combines in order to re-establish themselves as the number 1 and number 2 QBs in the country.

Exactly. This is why I don't understand why people keep thinking the Jets would go QB in the first. They may take someone like Croyle later on to "hedge their bet" with Pennington, but they are in position to take a very good player and they have alot of needs and are in a bad cap situation.Caps said:

Agreed that they will always s u c k, but who do you think they could trade down with? Would someone need to trade up for Ferguson? Or do you see another guy someone would want to trade up for?

Typical posturing. The Jets MAY take Cutler who knows. OR they may be trying to build up their interest to seeif they can gather Miami's interest and try to sucker the Dolphins into trading to move up out of desperation. News flash Jets: This is not THAT front office any more.
I dont think you would ever see the Fins/Jets ever make a trade of that magnitude.... the Jets need help everywhere.. I can see them moving down and taking Deangelo Williams... someone in desperate need of a LT could move up

Hot player is Cutler...Jets want publicity after a very poor season so they say pssst John, this is all very hush hush but... ....moments later, John Clayton is stating Jets are interested in Cutler! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
How many teams do you think have a draft board already made up? How many of those teams just hired a new head coach who's still trying to fill out his staff? Just another pre-draft rumor.

Jets audible: Eye Vandy QB Cutler in draft
Friday, January 27, 2006 BY DAVE HUTCHINSON
Star-Ledger Staff
In an apparent philosophical shift, the Jets are seriously considering drafting Vanderbilt quarterback Jay Cutler in the first round of the April draft should they trade down from the fourth pick overall, according to someone with knowledge of the team's thinking.
With the hiring of new coach Eric Mangini, the Jets now seem willing to select a quarterback in the first round and groom him for the long term. Under former coach Herman Edwards, the Jets were believed to be planning to address other needs with their first-round pick and sign a veteran quarterback to compete with Chad Pennington in training camp.
Pennington, 29, had his second rotator cuff surgery in an eight-month span last October and his career is in jeopardy.
Meanwhile, the Jets continue their search for an offensive coordinator, with Saints offensive coordinator Mike Sheppard, former Browns head coach and Texans offensive coordinator Chris Palmer and perhaps Eagles quarterback coach Pat Shurmur said to be on their list of candidates.
Tony Wise remains the front-runner to replace offensive line coach Doug Marrone, who wants out of his contract, which has a year remaining.
At the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., several Jets team representatives and scouts, including general manager Terry Bradway, had a lengthy dinner with Cutler on Wednesday night. The Dolphins also have shown interest in Cutler.
In addition to Cutler, the Jets have shown considerable interest in offensive tackles D'Brickashaw Ferguson (Virginia) and Eric Winston (Miami).
If the Jets keep the fourth pick overall, they likely would take Ferguson, who is considered a franchise left tackle. If they trade down, they would try to select Cutler in the 10-to-15-pick range and pick up an offensive tackle such as Winston later in the first round.
On many early draft boards, Cutler is ranked as the third best quarterback behind Matt Leinart (USC) and Vince Young (Texas).
Cutler, 6-3, 223 pounds, was a one-man band for Vandy this season. He threw for 3,073 yards, 21 touchdowns and just nine interceptions while leading the Commodores to a 5-6 mark in the competitive Southeastern Conference. He has good mobility, rushing for 215 yards.
Most teams view Cutler as a player who'll need at least a year on the bench behind a veteran. He has good arm strength, smarts, toughness and a strong work ethic, according to reports.
