If there's no concensus #1 pick and analagous gaping need associated with that players position, the financial risks associated with that draft slot are worse than say the 2-4. If the Jets want XXXXX, and only XXXX, and XXXX will be gone by #2, fine. But if they can get XXXX at 2 then 2 is the better pick to have. Looking at this year's expected class and the Jets roster, IMO the #1 would not be better than the 2-3, maybe even the 4.

ya i just want the jets get the exact player they want in the draft, i mean as long as they dont take a qb or rb which they prob wont, its not gonna be that bad of a hit to the salary cap [/ QUOTE ] I can def see the Jets taking McFadden in the draft. Especially if they have him at #1 on their board. Most teams succeed today with RBBC and McFadden could help tremendously. I do highly doubt a pick of Brohm, ect. unless of course they can pull a Chargers and pick him and trade later(though Eli helped out there). This draft is going to be interesting if the bottom 3 stay StL, MIA, and NYJ. None of those teams have a direct need at QB so it's unlikely to see any of the huge QB prospects taken in those 3, we should see some big fellas picked in that group and that makes me happy.(I love OL/DL if you did not know).

Re: *****The Official 2007 J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS THREAD******
I suspect the Jets will focus on the 2 D lineman. That of course assumes there aren't major DLine changes made pre-draft but, as is, their needs shade more towards the dline than RB. Obv this could all be moot if they feel McFadden is far and away the best player there.
From watching the Jets this year and last, I wouldn't mind an all lineman draft.

I do want the #1 pick and it's pretty stupid to say things like "no one ever trades up for the #1 anymore" or things to that extent. Whether the best player is a QB, a FS, or an LT, that's independent of this argument. So is the opinion that no one will want to trade up. The bottom line is that the #1 pick has the most value out of any selection in the draft, and you would prefer it to any other draft position. Asking questions like "Why?" makes absolutely no sense.

[/ QUOTE ] I can agree with this. It's a moot point if they have the chance to draft McFadden and they think he's the BPA. If not, then I could definitely see them drafting for the D-Line, or linebackers. I like Gholston but the Jets will have too high a draft pick.

Re: *****The Official 2007 J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS THREAD******
OK, I see what you are saying and value wasn't the proper word for me to use. What I tried to say is that having the #1 pick, if we decide to trade down, we can receive a package that will positively change the Jets. If we decide to keep the pick, it might not have the best value from a cost-utility standpoint, but it will likely be the consensus best player in the draft. It's a great situation to be in.

Re: *****The Official 2007 J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS THREAD******
Look, if we have a guy we think is the BPA at 1 and other teams agree then, yes, the #1 pick is a good thing and we should pull the trigger.
But please don't think that trading down and stockpiling picks is easy, or even possible. Its very unlikely, esp. in a year where these is no Peyton Manning/Mike Vick types set to come out, ie, top shelf ultra blue chip QBs. My very-preliminary-not-very-informed thought is that Chris Long is the best fit for the Jets and I don't think he's a #1 pick and I don't think we'd need to take him at #1.
