The NFL DRAFT

This is the time of year that every fan looks forward to before players on their favorite teams must report for training camp. Fans always want to know which direction their team is heading when they draft a certain player based on need or because of his raw talent. This upcoming draft has the no.1 overall pick already signed to a contract, Chris Long OT, of the Miami Dolphins. The New York Jets sit at the sixth selection where they have a few options. They can take a game breaker from the offensive side of the ball in Darren McFadden, a running back from Arkansas, an elite pass rusher in Vernon Gholston, defensive end from Ohio State or quarterback Matt Ryan out of Boston College, who seems to be a wild card. For one reason or another I don't think the Jets should take a quarterback because they have a lot invested in Kellen Clemens especially since he hasn't had a full team to play in front of him yet. There are so many draft "guru's" like ESPN's Mel Kiper and the NFL Networks Mike Mayock who come up with all of these mock drafts and strategies that half the time aren't correct. One thinks that the Jets should go with McFadden, the other thinks they should stick with Gholston, and some others think they ought to trade down to get more picks. Whatever the Jets do and other teams for that matter, they may be looking to build their team that way by filling holes with each selection they have no matter what the "experts" say.
