03/18 — It's the time of the season when draft fever runs high, so draft zombies everywhere are doing what they always do at this time of year: getting educated.
And we're planning a draft blitz in the coming month to get Jets fans and all else who come to the Radar and to newyorkjets.com up to speed for the 2009 NFL Draft on April 25-26.
We're going to kick off our draft coverage Thursday with Eric Allen's feature on the top quarterbacks entering the draft. Rich Gentile, Jets senior director of multimedia, and his staff will be coordinating video coming in from several different directions — highlights from the top prospects' college careers and clips from some of the candidates' work at last month's NFL Combine — and editing them up to illustrate the story.
Then every Monday and Thursday for the following three weeks, we'll provide you with another position package. EA will also have the defensive backs for you next Monday and I'll report on the running backs on Thursday, and so on. Here's our tentative schedule:
Thursday, March 19 — Quarterbacks
Monday, March 23 — Defensive Backs
Thursday, March 26 — Running Backs
Monday, March 30 —Linebackers
Thursday, April 2 — Offensive Line
Monday, April 6 — Defensive Line
Thursday, April 9 — Wide Receivers/Tight Ends
Fold into that mix some of the most thoughtful mock drafts available from our friends at Real Football Services. Real will produce two first-round mocks plus a second-round mock, with the final mocks going live the week before the Lions (or whoever holds the first overall pick by then) go on the clock shortly after 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 25.
We'll also pass on information on our annual draft parties. And we'll provide Radar entries reporting on our reports, on other people's mocks, and on draft and free agency news. And make no mistake: Your comments are a part of our coverage as well, both on the Radar and on our Message Boards. Check both forums out early and often.
We think this will be one of the most ambitious draft packages available from any NFL team Website and will be up there among any you will find on the internet. We invite you to come by tomorrow and check out the quarterbacks as they parade across your screen — and then perhaps all the way onto your team's roster in a little more than five weeks' time.
Coach Rex on the Air
Head coach Rex Ryan will be a guest on Colin Cowherd's radio show on 1050 ESPN New York this afternoon at 12:40 p.m.
Update: I've just been told that the Cowherd interview with Rex Ryan has been moved back to 1:40 p.m. Sorry for the inconvenience, but you've got an extra hour to get situated and pick up the Coach on ESPN Radio.

Wed, March 18, 2009 - 11:41am ET"i was a bears fan in late 70s to mid 80s ditka came in and made that team stronger . buddy ryans defense ..i think it was in october of 84 bears beat a good dallas team 23-0 [ from memory,not sure] WOW WHAT A DEFENSE ..im looking forward to this season . "
Randy Lange Said:
"It was Nov. 17, 1985, jak. Chicago at 10-0 (en route to 15-1) went into Texas Stadium to play 7-3 Dallas. The final: Bears 44, Cowboys 0."
OriginalJetFan Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 11:54am ET"#1--De/DT, #2--OT /OG, #3 WR, #4 best availablemaybe another WR QB--Ratliff or trade for Cutler, WR-- Cotchery, Stucky, Clowney and Wright( and really Keller) . You have to give these previous Draft picks a shot, before you make new ones."
Mike Gundy Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 12:13pm ET"Hey Randy! Got the email this morning regarding this year's Taste of the NFL. I called the phone number listed on the email and the recording is talking about last year's Sak's Fifth Avenue Fashion Show. What gives? You would think that they can update the messages, especially when the email gives a phone number to call. "
Randy Lange Said:
"Yeah, you would think that, Mike. I'll pull the number down and see what's up here. Sorry for the misdirection."
Howard Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 12:39pm ET"cant wait for the coverage on this draft from your crew Randy we know its will be first rate and comprehensive,but i think a de in round 1 is needed right now"
Randy Lange Said:
"Thanks in advance, Howard."
russ Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 1:26pm ET"Jeff George had a strong arm and weak brain..Cutler is the same package for more money no thanks...I like what we have at 1/3 the prize...Clemens or Radcliffe are not a gamble they are proven team players...The Cutler bandwagon are the usual losers who like the fishermans wife always look for greener grass and end up with nothing...(sounds like Mets philosophy to me)"
Sam Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 1:51pm ET"You people who keep mentioning CUTLER r not thinking! What YOU JET fans have to ask yourself is, Y r the BRONCOS willing to TRADE CUTLER for CASSEL? That is QUESTION you to ASK yourself. If CUTLER was so GOOD, then why are the BRONCOS willing to TRADE CUTLER? The BRONCOS know something about CUTLER, just like JETS fans knew CHAD PENNINGTON's limitations. Use your head for ONCE JETS fans."
JimmyOzone Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 2:37pm ET"I'd love to see Kenny Britt from Rutgers available for the Jets to take in the 2nd round. I followed his career at RU and he's a future all pro"
Ira Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 3:00pm ET"russ, I wouldn't call Cutler a Jeff George just yet. The kid has played with the 28th and 30th ranked defense and no running game the past 2 years. I was all for the trade until i learned about some of his issues. When it first came out i said he will end up in Buffalo and i will stick with that. But the Browns could make a run at him also. Cutler in Buffalo will make them very tough."
tim in sk Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 3:10pm ET"exciting! and, love the Zombies reference you snuck in there!"
Brian Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 3:13pm ET"I would definitely like to see the Jets snag either Britt, Heyward-Bey, or Nicks! Three solid WR's in my eyes who have the potential to jump to the No. 1 Receiver in the near future."
Refayel Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 3:15pm ET"Hey Randy, can BJ Raji be a dominating NT in a 3-4 scheme? I know we've got Big Jenks already but i think a rotation between Jenks & Raji will keep them both fresh, strong & effective through out the year. & Kris Jenkins isn't getting any younger. Hard to find stud D-Lineman like Raji no?"
Anthony Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 3:27pm ET"You know what sounds like a "Mets Philosophy" Not acting and collapsing two years straight. Look at the Yankees you get what you pay for. I am not debating if Kellen Clemens or Ratcliff would be a good fit.. BUT what have we seen from either of them? Besides a preseason with Ratcliff and a total beat down of Clemens. Now with a line he might have a chance but do you get Cutler if you can..>def"
Ernie Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 3:55pm ET"Sam, First of all it is not only Jets fans who Knew that Pennington could'nt throw,the whole football world knew,just like everyone knows that all of Denvers wins last year were solely on the arm of Cutler.INT'S were high because he always had to throw.(NO RUNNING GAME OR DEFENSE).Cutler is a stud.No QB the Jets have even comes close to this guy.Get a deal done."
MikeMc Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 4:38pm ET"Well Ira at least if we make a move for Cutler we don't have to worry about our blog site being over run with Bronco fans like last year's Packer fans. I'm hearing more & more disgust with this guy in spite of his talent. Maybe he just needs to grow up some & thicken his skin. Lets not forget those big #'s were because of that bad D, & he faded in the last 3 games, I'm not sold on him yet."
Rhandy Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 5:36pm ET"jets need to get maclin or darrius bey in the first round.. we don't need another bust DE in the first round. Just put gholston at de n build him from there.. then get a de in the second."
Walt Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 6:29pm ET"Lets give the QBs we have now a chance. We need a WR lets draft one in the frist round. lets resign washington also. When this guy gets the football magic happens. Lets not worry about a QB now. I dont think gholston is a bust. We are the fans we are not out on sundays playing. I think gholston needs a little work. But then again all the players do. Lets get a WR with our #1 pick"
tom Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 6:41pm ET"vernon gholsten was not a bust yet he was going from college to the nfl and he had to change positiond to a new system i think rex ryan will turn him into the next terrel suggs. He will turn kerry into the next ed reed and both harris and scott into the next lewis so dont say gholsten is a bust yet"
Jay Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 7:17pm ET"I'm on the Kenny Britt bandwagon with you guys as well but 17 is too early and he won't be there by the 2nd round. I would love DE Tyson Jackson at 17 and then maybe try to trade up to early 2nd or late 1st (like keller last year) to take Britt. Otherwise hope for Nicks. Rooting for Ratliff, but you watch Clemens have a breakout year. He's the best QB of his draft class, including Cutler."
Johnny Cool Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 7:29pm ET"Cutler passed for 62%, over 4,500 yds and 25 TDS. Far better than what we currently have. You would think this decision a no brainer. Cutler would solidify this team. IF that was to happen, then we can focus on a WR and a TE in the draft. As far as Gholston, Ryan is very familiar with a player like him and knows how to utilize him."
MIKE Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 7:39pm ET"For all the guys that hate CUTLER, how can you compete with a Patriots team that have a awesome passing attack and stars on D with the addition of Peppers. YOU CAN'T! The only way we have a shot at winning is by taking chances on incrediblly talented yet troubled players like Cutler. On paper right now there is no way the Jets can compete with the Pats and we are even with Bills and Dolphins."
MIKE Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 7:45pm ET"I hate Cutler too but you are fooling yourself when you say we have a shot at a long playoff run with Clemens or Ratliff. I wouldn't be upset with either player playing the next 2 seasons., But if you want to really do some damage to the Pats ego than you have try out players like Cutler. If only we could put Penningtons brain in Cutler head, thats the way to go. "
nikjetsfan10 Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 9:05pm ET"Cutler, clemons,ratliff, right now it doesnt matter who we have throwing the ball we have no recievers. Coles is in cinci, Cotchery is going to see alot of double coverage, clowney & stuckey hardly seem like the next moss,welkers of the world. We need to get anquan boldin from zona with picks. Bring in the big guy.."
Ira Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 9:07pm ET"MikeMc, I have cooled off a lot also with Cutler. No brainer with his ability but way too many question marks that have to be answered about him right now. Lets wait and see how this all plays out. I still say there is more to this story then we all know."
Jason Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 9:43pm ET"I believe that the Jets could try a trade with Cutler, if that doesn't work out they still have the draft, and Brett Ratliff's unproven talent to rely on. I believe Mark Sanchez will be available for the Jets, because Pat Kirwan has the Jaguars taking him, but the Jags don't need a QB, nor do any of the teams that follow. "
wayne Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 10:00pm ET" Belichick proteges Mangini, Weiss,Crennel and now McDaniel.Where ever they go, chaos follows.How's that coaching tree working out? Has Denver played D this century?Or is that Culter's job too?The guy with some serious pressure this year will be Kassel;big contract and now being compared to Culter.Now he's gonna have to lead and he's gonna have to be better.That will be fun to see."
Mike the Mechanic Said:
Wed, March 18, 2009 - 11:39pm ET"The D is in place. Forget the Cutler and Coles nonsense; let's develop what we have. Give the ball to Ratliff, get Clowney running the routes and Jones will do the rest. Rex, do you Dad proud and let's bring home a winning season! "
Spiro Nicolet Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 12:05am ET"Convince Brett to get surgery on his bicep. Have him come back. Also add 2 Bigtime receivers. Marvin Harrison? A. Boldin? Pick up another back in the draft. Defense is ready with Rex. Go Jets Go. Spiro Chicago"
Anonymous Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 12:07am ET"my favorite running back coming into this draft is Shonn Green. he reminds me of Marshawn Lynch a little. he should deffinetly be around round 2, maybe even round three. with a big play reciever in round 1(maybe a percy harvin?) and Shonn Green after, it would be a huge upgrade to the offense."
Dan Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 12:14am ET"i know our running back situation is solid for now, but soon, we will need an upgrade. i say we take Shonn Greene in the second, possibly third round. i think hes a real sleeper, and we could pick up someone in a later round who has first round ability"

Vincent Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 1:07am ET"Question for Master Randy from Zombie Vincent - Is there any official noise about the Jets seriously wanting Cutler? The TV guys say that the Jets are "paying attention", which means half of nothing with the remainder being worthless. Also, is any of the same concerning the Jets drafting a QB early in the draft?"
Randy Lange Said:
"Vincent, I'd prefer to let you all discuss the rumors. I can't tell you anything about the Jets' interest in Jay Cutler or QBs in general, but rest assured that Mike Tannenbaum and his people are "paying attention" to all situations."
Vincent Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 1:14am ET"Question for Master Randy from Zombie Vincent - Is there any official noise about the Jets seriously wanting Cutler? The TV guys say that the Jets are "paying attention", which means half of nothing with the remainder being worthless. Also, is any of the same talk happening concerning the Jets drafting a QB early in the draft? DECLINED: REPEAT"
Howard Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 6:24am ET"still think de is what we need i also like the kid from lsu tyson jackson,i believe he could take over from k coleman right now and then replace ellis in 2 yrs.wr in round 2 and there will be some god wrs in rd 2,and then the injured fla te in rd 3 ingram i think his name is"
Ira Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 7:14am ET"Cimini brings up a possible trade for Culter tied in with the Browns. Makes a lot of sense. I am really on the fence and wonder if Cutler's so called attitude is blown out of proportion. If indeed the Jets can get him they will have to sign Holt because that 1st rd pick will have to be part of the trade and more. Ivy signed with the Browns now do the Jets turn to Rolle?"
ablity Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 8:26am ET"sam first of all we all aready know y the coach wanted to trade culter for cassell. its because he was use to cassell. using chad dont make ur statement stronger for the fact that he did great if the fins. the fact is. look around the leauge there has to be like only 4 qb better than jay period. tom, payton, ben, warner, bress maybe, beside that he is the 6 best qb in the leauge and he is 26 yrs"
ablity Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 8:29am ET"Is it ture that thomas Jones skiped 2 days of the offseason program because he is mad about his contract. i hope he dont think hes all that because of what he did last year because i personally think it was all the oline work. matter fact i love Chris Wells in this draft"
wayne Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 9:07am ET"Glad to hear the coach say he's confident about 3 QBs but still open to "somethig else".I'm a Ratliff guy, but to not explore Cutler situation is foolish.He's the same age as Clemens for Christ sakes.Maybe we don't get him,but you better see what it might take.Finding a Matt Ryan or Flacco you guys think that's gonna happen every year!!!?It's 40 years and counting!!!!!"
Ira Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 9:13am ET"I really urge all readers to check out Kirwin's story about Cutler. I have been going back and forth and let his so called attitude mix me up. I go back to my original feelings of this is a no brainer to get him. Plus it would only cost 6.87 for the next 3 years until a 12 million roster bonus goes into effect in 2011. I got him slack and think the Jets should get him. Can't miss out on him again."
joe b Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 9:14am ET"Package Thomas Jones and a 2nd or 3rd round pick to Denver for Cutler. "
shawnleo Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 10:24am ET"*long time yets fan since kid* i agree that they jets should go after Cutler just for the sake of trying. i like both ratliff and clemens and i think that they would be great with a good WR that we should pick up in the draft. but to not at least try and get cutler would be, well not very smart. and trading T.Jones is a big no no lol he is still good, unless we happen to get K.Marrino ^_^"
Ira Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 10:29am ET"joe b, This will have to be a 3 team deal to get him. The Broncos will want a QB back plus there will be 2 1's or a 1 and a 2 and a player to get this deal done. It's well worth it. You get a franchise QB for the next 8-10 years and he will only contiune to get better."
Fish Hunters Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 11:25am ET"It's gonna take a whole lot more than Jones & 2nd, 3rd rounder to get Cutler. After the Brett Farve fiasco I'am pretty sure Cutler would be a mistake. "
Matt Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 1:04pm ET"Just poking around to see if there was any Cutler banter. Typing from Denver. I say get this done. McDaniels may not be looking for a league number 1 player in the trade. He probably believes he could turn any of the QBs on the Jets roster into a star. Send him Clemens and a 1 and a 2 pick. Now is the perfect time. Hopefully, Cuttler has learned from this and will be a professional now."
MikeMc Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 1:26pm ET"I would be shocked if that ex-pat McDaniels deals with the Jets on any level, the chance of Cutler landing with the jets is less than 5%and that is only if the jets over pay big time. Ira move on from this, I would rather have Byron Lefwich and keep my players and picks. Just like Favre Cutler guarantees us nothing, we need to build the D & run the ball, we have live arms now."
Ira Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 2:34pm ET"MikeMc, Your right about the D and running the ball but i have always liked Cutler and he just might be too good to pass up if they can figure out a way to trade for him. If he never had a fall out with the HC i was very happy with Ratty or Kellen. Look at the AFC final 4 QB's in the PO this year. Big Ben, Flacco, Collins and Rivers. All bigtime QB's. Lets wait and see. Whoever is the QB GO JETS"
uncle joe Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 2:41pm ET"Ira,the whole reason Cutler's agent is pushing buttons is to get Cutler a new Big Fat Contract.Do you honestly think Cutler is gonna play for 6 Mil the next 3 years?He is gonna want what Farve got last year!Real teams get better threw the Draft.We have 3 QBs threw the Draft.Lets be a real TEAM.I would give Leon a new Fat Contract today just to tick off T.Jones and draft a new RB rounds 1 or 2!"
uncle joe Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 3:31pm ET"Ira,Ira,Come on,Please don't say that Collins and Flacco are BIG TIME QUARTERBACKS,Come On IRA,You're Losing Me!"
ddh Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 3:34pm ET"we may need to look at RBs, this jones business is getting me nervous, especially with the run offense being so emphasized this season, I dont see a WR as being nearly as important, regardless of how it plays out, a solid, up the middle RB as either backup or replacement should be addressed."
Row Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 3:50pm ET"Love the Elam signing, That said, we have gobs of work on offense, a mad RB, and Leon Washington as our one weapon. Dominic Rhodes would be a good sign. Anyone see some of the games Lance Moore had at WR? He may be short, but he can fly! Mr. T, do you want the most boring team in football? Did you watch Brett Favre and the offense ruin our season last year? Someone tell me the games weren't close."
MikeMc Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 3:59pm ET"Unclejoe not sure when you got so smart, but I'm sold. Ira, just like I predicted a Denver fan in favor of the trade ( see Matt 1:04)Sorry Flacco isn't a big time QB & Collins? not so sure about that one either, you could say 3 big time Defenses & all 4 run the ball well."
chris Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 4:36pm ET"The Jets should do the smart thing and go get cutler. They should trade thomas jones to the broncos for cutler if they dont want to do that give them nexts years 1st round pick too. Then to replace the 31 year old jones, draft knoshawn morino. Morino is a great back and he would fit in good with the jets."
Johnny Cool Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 4:52pm ET"I wouldn't mind have Brady Quinn on our team if not Cutler. I've heard talks of trade with the Browns."
Kevin Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 6:18pm ET"I agree with Ira on this if you get the opportunity you pay the money for a proven QB that is young and can be a franchise QB the thing that worries me is Rhodes comment that Cutler is not a leader when the leader of your defense says that it automatically throws up red flags I'd like to see what Ratliff can do but if you get a shot at cutler you take it. give jones a 2 year deal give leon a 5 yr"
uncle joe Said:
Thu, March 19, 2009 - 9:07pm ET"Hey MikeMc,I've always been this smart,I just don't apply myself! "
Raymond Said:
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 12:46am ET"Trade away all draft picks whatever. Get Cutler. with a team and a d like ours with rex ryan at the helm jay will have better td-int ratio because with our run game as well, he wont have to throw to win. Cutler is a beast. dont care what it takes. get cutler."
richk Said:
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 10:01am ET"im undecided on Cutler, I would take him if the price is low enough. As for drafting a QB? I think it would be a waste of a pick. I really can't see where any of this years QB's in the draft are significantly better than what we already have. To use a #1 to get marginaly better is just not a good idea. Get a WR to help are young QB's develop with."
Tom Spicer "I Bleed Green" Said:
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 10:33am ET"Uncle Joe, Real teams are built thru the draft lets take a look at the Pats Moss & Welker trade. Free agents Taylor, Baker, Galloway, Thomas, Springs, Bodden & Harrison thats 9 of there starters of the top of my head that were not drafted by the team. Are the Pats a fake team? This is not 1970 players do not play on 1 team for there career anymore teams are built thru free agency. continued "
matt Said:
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 11:01am ET"MikeMc - Matt is a Jets fan. I just happen to live in Denver. On NFL.com: "Jets fired Mangini, but they’ll need him to land Cutler" EXCELENT! "
Tom Spicer "I Bleed Green" Said:
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 11:11am ET"The Jets Faneca, Woody, Coleman, Pace, Scott, Leonhard & Richardson all free agents. Trades Jones, Mangold, Keller, Jenkins, Harris, Sheppard, Revis we traded up in the draft to get or we traded draft picks for them 14 of our 22 starters total teams are not built thru the draft."
Tom Spicer "I Bleed Green" Said:
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 11:15am ET"The Broncos were willing to trade Cutler cause coach McDaniels wanted to bring in his own guy Cassel & he thought he could get tons of picks for Cutler he tried to trade him he could not get what he wanted Cutler found out about it & it blew up in his face. This has nothing to do with Cutler the player he is a top 10 QB in the game bottom line this is a fact that can NOT be argued. "
Johnny Cool Said:
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 1:51pm ET"Everyone's knocking Cutler for the way he handled the news but wouldn't you be mad if you found out your new coach just tried to trade you? Cutler's one of the top 5 QB's in the game. If there's a chance to get him, then you get him. If Ratliff turns out to be any good, then hey, we'll have two good QB's to deal with. We'll worry about that when and if that happens."
Johnny Cool Said:
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 2:19pm ET"Just woundering if anyone thinks Mike Furrey would be a good addition to the team? Maybe use him as our slot receiver? He's a Wes Welker type, no?"
Kevin Said:
Fri, March 20, 2009 - 4:37pm ET"get the deal done for Cutler and as long as we don't give up our first round pick turn around and pick up Barden the WR from USC 6'6 230 lbs with huge hands can you say Keyshawn Johnson or with the hands Randy Moss or Plax Burress. he will definately help our team out and would be a much better fit in my books than Hakeem Nicks or Heyward Bey. He would give us a huge mismatch when we have to pass"
Eddie P. Said:
Sat, March 21, 2009 - 6:26pm ET"Hey Randy just wanted to know what you thought about Ramses Barden, the guy looks like a diamond in the rough just waiting to get polished. I saw some footage of him playing and he just takes over games. I see him similar to Plaxico, but maybe even better, hopefully we draft him with the pick from the Saints in the third round?"
Bucks County Jeff Said:
Sun, March 22, 2009 - 11:56am ET"Byron Leftwich is the short term answer. Why is no one talking about this guy? He is a proven starter, and has been a winner in this league. Sign him to a two year deal and throw him in the mix. Perfect insurance policy and it will allow us to draft a WR in the first two rounds. Sanchez will not be ready to start for a year or two. This D-fense is built to win NOW."
Dean Said:
Sun, March 22, 2009 - 7:05pm ET"This is simple....Get Cutler and give up the 2nd round pick...then get Percy Harvin in the first round and then we should be set....We don't need all that much. We have a great team that just fell apart last year due to a hurt Brett Favre. If we get those two playmakers then we will be set. And dont be suprised if you see David Clowney starting next year.

He was in a pass first offense and if he gets to the jets and is protected and we run first so he is young and will be a prowl bowl QB for many years to come....we should grab the WR from Missouri if he somehow drops to us we height in our receivers "

Mon, March 23, 2009 - 4:16pm ET"bottom line is the jets need a qb and a NEW rb...trade picks and T-Jones (whom for the first time in his career avg 4.5 yds an attempt with over 250 carries) for Jay-Cut and if Moreno (or Beanie Wells) fall to 17 snatch em up because fresh legs behind that beast of a o-line with a combo of "liquid" leons good for 1800+ rush yds then get a wr in the later rounds and save money get the deals done!!!"

Cutler is a Vandy product so we all know he is smart and will pick up the playbook quickly. #4's presence alone kept 8 and 9 guys out of the box. If they don't land Cutler, they better let Ratty try to stretch the field early and often to free up the run game. PLEASE free David Clowney!!! Show Leon the money."
