Gabe Watson is imo a first round lock right now his stock has soared higher then any dts except ngatas and should easily be a top 20 pick.
His stock isn't up that high, it's actually down because of that "fat, slow, lazy" thing. He's not one of Kiper's top 7 senior DTs & isn't one of Scout Inc's top 5 DTs, which isn't on either's big board.
Where do we get our QB from? Free Agency?
At this point, yes. It may even be *gulp* Frerotte again. Kerry Collins, Aaron Brooks, Joey Harrington, Jeff Garcia, or Kurt Warner could be options. I'd love for us to get Brees but that probably isn't going to happen. Looking for a QB of the future will be much easier next offseason with Brady Quinn, Drew Stanton, Marcus Vick, Sam Keller, & Jordan Palmer in the draft, Schaub will be an RFA, Ramsey, Simms, & Ragone will be UFAs.
If Carr resigns with Houston, I highly doubt SF drafts a QB and if I am drafting 3rd, the only way I trade up for Leinart is if I feel another team is willing to trade up and jump me to get Leinart. Therefore who do you feel might trade up to get Leinart in the 1st or 2nd spot? That would be the only reasoning the Jets would make that trade if they seriously felt another team was going to jump them.
Right now, from what I've read anyway, if any team trades up to #1 it will be to grab Leinart because of the thin QB class & so many teams in the top 15 of the draft needing QBs. The Jets could feel insecure with New Orleans, Tennessee, Arizona, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, & us.
Also, do you seriously think Max JeanGiles will fall THAT far into the 2nd round? Personally I think he is a late 1st round pick and I would definately grab him up if he falls that far in the second, but I dont see it happening. I think he is a sure fire cant miss OG stud in the NFL and I would love to grab him.... but I dont think its possible.
From the respectable sources I read Gilles is around #25 of senior prospects. I got slightly away from the BPA theory I use because olinemen such as Mangold or Whitworth should not be taken ahead of Gilles. But someone unexpected does fall in every draft, & two of our top young players from the past two drafts are examples of that (Poole & Crowder).
Do the Jets plan on keeping Pennington for a year and then cut him and just suck up the cap hit? That would be a good trade for Houston because they can get the position of need and save cash on him and get more draft picks. But I dont know if the Jets need to make that trade.
My guess would be that they cut him now & take their losses on a bad investment. He's due $6M base salary alone next year. Restructuring that only to cut him in 07 would be foolish because it'll be even more of a cap hit.
...also it seems eslinger is a system center and would only work in denver or atlantas scheme
