    We really don't have that deep threat 6 4 receiver with 4.3 speed. That would really be nice but I guess the priorities will be defense in the off season. Coles will be another year older and although Cotch is a quality wide out he doesn't have Steve Smith speed. I would like to see if we could snare a nice wide out in the 4th round if possible. I think the salient issues of the day will be pass rush and defensive line.

    Coles can be that guy. He is fast and can burn any CB out there. We really needed him in there today, like when Brad Smith was dropping 2 easy ones in a row. Drops have killed Kellen so far...

    I'd have preferrred a hands guy like Chrebet or Muhsin Muhammad orJoe Jurevicius over a speed guy today.

    This york guy wants a TALL and fast wideout -- Stuckey and Coles are both fairly small receivers.

    He basically wants someone like TO or Randy Moss.

    I think we have more pressing issues then finding a fast wide receiver.

    Yeah...maybe three -- Randy Moss, T.O., and Calvin Johnson. Guys like them don't come around very often.

    There are a bunch of players like that actually, and most of them suck at football. Only a few good ones.

    I think people are missing York61's point. Clemens is going to be VERY good, but like any QB, needs playmakers he can count on. Coles can be that guy, sure, but next season, he'll be a year older, with older legs.

    I'm sorry but Brad Smith and Wallace Wright should either be on special teams or someone's else team, because they just don't cut it.

    Wallace wright is crap, but you have to give smith a chance and another year as a WR. He has the size and the skill set, all that he needs is experience.

    I'm all for drafting Darren McFadden or DeSean Jackson. We need playmakers. I like Chris Long a lot too, but we need playmakers on offense.

    This is all gonna depend on what happens early next year, with workouts, senior bowl and the combine. Chris long could show up and only put up the 225 15 times and ruin himself.

    I think we should hold out on naming names right now.

    And defense..special teams..and maybe a new defense coordinator. An offense coordinator would help too.

    But definitely a new owner and general manager.

    Why should it matter whether we mention names? It's not like we have any say on who they draft.

    Because naming names gets everybodies' hopes up and then we have a repeat of the reggie bush epidemic like last year. Where there was only about 2 sane posters on the boards at that time.

    The Jets need front 7 players on defense badly. That is the priority. I could care less about skill players until we actually win the battle at the LOS.

    You put Brad Smith on say,the Patriots. Colts or even Steelers, he's a weekly healthy inactive. He's not that good. I haven't seen anything from him that suggests that he should be earning a check in the National Football League.
