Why do you think that? Besides a bet with Antonio Brown, hasn't he been pretty damn professional in every aspect the past few years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prometheus Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 If we took McCaffrey at 18, it would address: 1. Change of pace 3rd RB, 2. ST returner, and 3. Potential slot receiver. Just a thought. pro originaloiler, and titanskick8851 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Rob has been pretty clear that they need to upgrade the pass catchers. Plus, 2 weeks ago we didn't realize how good Williams & Davis are as prospects. We have a clear need for a big time "X", especially in a vertical offense like ours, and these 2 fill it perfectly, and should produce day 1. That said, I still prefer a defensive stud. I realize of course that you don't draft to make up for prior years but man, it's been WAY too long since we went defense. It just feels like this is the time. We actually have a pretty solid base of talent aside from corner, we have a solid group of guys. If we had a good corner we'd probably be middle of the pack, maybe a bit higher. But we need another guy or two who can consistently go out & make impact plays, get picks, force fumbles, make those stomach churning hits that totally fire the stadium & players up. Basically, I want Jamal Adams..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year when Robinson and Mularkey were hired they said the teams #1 weakness was DB, a week before the draft Mike Keith said the #1 need was defensive backfield. They took 4 players at other positions before drafting Byard and took Simms in the 5th. Huston 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides a bet with Antonio Brown, hasn't he been pretty damn professional in every aspect the past few years? I live in the area & the talk is he's worn out his welcome with the Jets. Nothing in particular & he really has become a solid, good guy. But apparently, like as always is the case, he wears on people. Players don't need Vince Lombardi-esque speeches every day....especially when you aren't producing. I give him all the credit in the world though for the way he approached his mental problem. Borderline Personality Disorder is brutal, and he fought his ass off & has it under wraps, which is a helluva lot tougher than it sounds. And I've heard he's very approachable for others who need help or advice. Bottom line, he may be a tad obnoxious at times, but Brandon Marshall is a grown ass man whose produced at an extremely high level for a long time now. If he's close to his prior shape & has the same burst, I'm all in. Huston, and wiscotitansfan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were also abundantly clear about improving the OL & adding size to the defense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaskill15 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Consider me on the all-defense train for the 1st round unless somehow Corey Davis is still there at 18. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prometheus Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Certainly understand not using a 1st round, and I doubt he is there for our picks in 3rd. He will, however, be a versatile pick for some team that have these same needs. pro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
