Jets Ready!

Hempstead - The Jets front office and staff has been working frantically to figure out who they will select for this weekends draft. The Jets have the 10th overall selection, and many believe they will stay there and not move up or down. The Jets are in need of help at the Guard position, which they did address during free agency with the signing of Travis Claridge but, still need another starter, they could also use help at the linebacker position and some depth to the defensive backs. The siging of CB Alex Molden from Detroit should help the Jets this season, however, the Jets are still in need of help at the Safety position and the nickel corner position.

This years draft should give the Jets the opportunity to address their needs. With the tenth overall selection the Jets will have some options. Perhaps their best option with the 10th pick will be at corner, or offensive tackle.

The Jets wish list looks like this:
1. Shawn Andrew, OT - He is the highest rated player on the board. Who would not choose a franchise left tackle. The former Razorback, did 36 repetions on the bench, scored high on the intelligence tests and has exceptional footwork. Expected to go number one to Chicago.
2. DeAngelo Hall, CB - Hall has it all. He is rated in the top-5 for every cornerback among this year's draft class. He ran a 4.46 in the 40, and blew everyone away with his agility. The Jets would have to move up to get Hall, the price might be too steep. There is depth at the corner position.
3. Tommie Harris, DT - This Sooner is a stud in the middle. Harris did 34 repetions on the bench, second only to Shawn Andrews. Although is play diagnosis is low, Harris makes up for it with his ability.
4. Larry Fitzgerald, WR - Fitzgerald is a top-5 on the board, and a position the Jets do not need at this time, however, Moss has still not been the big receiver the Jets envisioned when they picked him a few years back. Calico will be steady, but does not appear to be the pure number one receiver. So, Fitzgerald could be a fit. If the Jets go with best available, this could be a possibility, but do not expect the Jets to make a play on Fitzgerald.
5. Jeremy LeSuer, CB - LeSuer is a solid corner, who is a notch below Hall, but a step ahead of the rest. LeSuer is an excellent all around defender. He can play the run, man to man, zone and bump and run. LeSuer will be a solid corner in the NFL. LeSuer is more of a realistic pickup for the Jets.
6. Jonathan Vilma- Vilma is a fierce ILB, who can play the run and the pass. Vilma posses the speed and agility to play outside as well. He is rated above all the linebackers in this year's class.
7. DJ Williams - Williams is an outside linebacker with a defensive backs ability. Williams ran the 40 in 4.5 and did the agility in 7.0. He is exceptional against the run and can rush the passer as well. The knock on Williams is his pass coverage skills and his tackling. Williams if the above six are not available the Jets may trade down to get Williams.
Other trade down possibilities include:
Safeties Matt Ware and Sean Taylor, Corners Bruce Thornton, Will Poole and Dana McAllister.
