Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards?

I know our philosophy is building through the draft and developing our players but we have occasionally made selective strikes in FA.

So, I ask, FIRST, is WR still a position that needs to be addressed with guys like LaFell, Gettis, and possibly AE emerging next year?

And second, if you feel it does still need to be addressed, do you think either of these guys would be a good option to bring in with Smitty?

Nothing against LaFell, I think he'll get better with time. But, if we brought in a guy like Holmes or Edwards, or drafted AJ Green (which I doubt happens), imagine having Smitty, one of these guys, and Gettis at WR. We could line up Smitty in the slot and let him work the zones like Welker, which I think would be ideal as he gets older.

First thing is first though, and we need a QB we know we can trust in the new offense.

I like this thread... It makes me happy. I'm smiling right now. Like seriously. Smiling.

:D

If I had too choose tho. I'd take Holmes over Edwards. I used to be a Braylon fan, but that's when I was hoping he'd be a star for the Browns and get them out of the poo hole. Now I don't really care for him. He's an over payed over hyped LaFell. Way too may drops by him.

Even tho Holmes has his "character issues" he's a fckin' baller. That's all I have to say.

I remember last year when Holmes was traded for a 5th everyone was saying he has "issues" and he is too much of a problem player for the Panthers.

lol

I wasn't one of those, lol.

I doubt the Jets let him go. I am iffy about Edwards, I think they'll do what they can to keep both of them. If I had my choice I'd take Santonio, and would've done so last year as well.

Edwards is an overrated diva that will never reach his full potential. Pass.

I'd take Holmes though, despite his issues with drops this past season. Unfortunately there is no chance the Jets will let him walk. They need all the play makers they can get to make Sanchez look like a competent quarterback.

I remember.. fans and this bullshit about being a perfect fuging citizen.. Holmes is clutch and a real threat..

i missed that

it was all over the board.. Holmes is too much of a concern, and all the Jets got was a real threat for a 5th round pick, LMAO...

I would take Holmes, you can't pass up clutch receivers.. Edwards is a real talent, but he worries me..

as for the thread, WR is not locked up by any means.. we have no real #1, and Smitty needs to be our #2.. Gettis and LaFell are #2 at best..

and don't give me the "no one to pass to him" bullshit excuse.. you don't wait until you find a QB to address the rest of the roster.. that's stupid, give it up.

LMAO... this is the retarded poo I'm talking about.. no offense, KP..

Holmes is clutch as hell, and lives for big game moments.. but hey, we can go for the meek and mild, and never win the big game... kind of like the Panthers have done in the past..

this character thing is a real winner! WR and Diva? nooooooooooo...

If we get Holmes i'll be happy to draft Fairley

fo shizzle.. I see a nice bidding war from the Jets side though..

I never said Holmes wasn't clutch. In fact, I said I wanted them to pursue Holmes if he was available.

I said Edwards was the overrated diva. Which he is.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
