The last pick was a cake-walk, will this one be any closer?

Thoradin says the Jets needs are:

1.OL

2.DL

3.RB

4.DB

Darren McFadden, Arkansas - RB - McFadden is regarded as the best player in this draft, he dominated the SEC with his all-around skills, too bad he was Arkansas best QB.
Jeff Otah, Pittsburgh - OT - Huge, but a bit raw. Only started playing football when he was a Senior in high school. Still he is a great athlete.
Vernon Gholston, Ohio St. - DE/OLB - Really came on last year. Great at rushing the passer, and is very quick. Has good upside to become a Shawn Merriman type player.
Sedrick Ellis, USC - DT - It has been back and forth between he and Dorsey for #1 DT. Ellis is a tad smaller (not much), but is still a monster. Played outstanding at the Senior Bowl. I'm not sure if he fits in the Jets scheme, but I'm going to put him here anyways.

2008 NFL Draft

1. Miami Dolphins - Chris Long - DE - Virginia
2. St. Louis Rams - Jake Long - OT - Michigan
3. Atlanta Falcons - Matt Ryan - QB - Boston College
4. Oakland Raiders - Glenn Dorsey - DT - LSU
5. Kansas City Cheifs - Ryan Clady - OT - Boise State

I think Thomas Jones is a pretty good RB and if anything they should give Leon Washington a shot before trying to draft a RB.And their problem is not the RB's its the O-Line and they made some signings to help their O-Line so the next logical pick is Vernon Gholston.

I'm going to go with McFadden here. He's a potential #1, and at #6, is a bargain I don't think the Jets can pass up.

I think Gholston would be a stud for them and a really good fit. However cant forget how pissed the Jets fans were when they didnt do a deal for Reggie Bush. Dmac it is.

It would be better for them to take Gholston. But I'll vote for D-Mac. It seems they can't pass him up.

another tough one. Gholston is who they should take, but McFadden probably will still be availible. I still think they should take Gholston.

Darren McFadden is a steal for them at the 6th pick. I can't see them passing him up.

Dont get me wrong jones is a decent back..but his no L.T.,I think drafting run DMC will completment jets backfield..I mean RB duo are better than single backs unless ur L.T./A.P.

Considering that the Jets already have two solid runningbacks in Leon washington and Thomas Jones, I don't think DMC would be the right choice. Their defense though needs some work, so I'm going with Vernon Gholston.

McFadden. In this situation, I think the Jets should start to go for the steal and whoeever's on top of the board.

Jones is getting old and doesnt play very well at all, and Mcfadden is the best player left so, nuff said.

I figured those two players would get all the votes. Maybe Jets fans won't boo this pick. McFadden to NY.
