I don't get this crap you guys are saying with the Jets future is bleak. The Jets have been one of the top drafting teams since Tannenbaum and Mangini took over. Our future is not bleak, the Jets can always add more guys through the draft to develop, this was just getting things going. I mean how can a teams future be bad when your team is drafting studs like Ferguson, Mangold, Revis, Harris, Washington, Lowery, Keller... *Gholston is a question, don't know if he will ever do anything*
And the Jets still have young studs from the last GM and HC, Jericho Cotchery, Kerry Rhodes..
Ty Law gives us a DB that understands the position, doesn't need to be fast as he isn't starting anyways, Dwight Lowery will still be the starter. Law will play CB/S. You can't take away from Law the fact he knows how to read a QB. Plus he knows Mangini, he is close with Darrelle Revis, Revis grew up knowing Ty Law, Law is actually Revis' mentor.
QB is the main issue for the future, but the rest of the team should be fine. Alan Faneca should be good for another 3-4 years. Calvin Pace should be a good player for another 5-6 years, RB is the easiest position to fill so when TJ gets older we can find another. TJ is playing at a probowl level right now leading the AFC in rushing yards. On pace for 1,300+ yards 14 TDs 4.7 average.
The Jets really only need to find long term solutions for 2 spots on the OL, LG and RT. Ferguson and Mangold will be locked up for years to come, both only 24 and are playing at probowl levels.
Our CBs are extremely young, Lowery and Revis are 23 and 22 yrs old. Revis is already one of the top CBs in the game. Rhodes is only 26, so he will be here for a while.
A guy I am excited about is Dustin Keller, 23 yrs old and he looks like a stud. Hasn't gotten a lot of opportunities this year, but he shows so much promise. Yesterday he was showing that potential, ability to stretch the seam and he lines up at WR a lot. Hes going to be one of the top receiving TEs in the game, a match up nightmare.
The division should be competitive between our teams for a while, this is a up and coming division.
