Astrobot Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 How many think Michael Bush now drops to the Bills in RD#2, pick #43? Most mocks had him going to the Jets with pick 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Capolupo Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Jets fans appear to be fretting though that the team hasn't had a very active offseason. This is the first major move of their offseason program. very true, but they shouldn't complain too much.. that is a huge move for a team that has a young offensive line (built in part last year) and a very well coached team. We are !@#$ if we don't get some help up the middle of our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 ineresting value.. 26 spots in the 2nd round... weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Capolupo Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 and now that I think about it, we are going to have a hell of a time having a good win pct. in our own division.. please, pretty please Bills go after a MLB in FA, oh, oh and a DT is on my wishlist too.. But, that's only wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePebble19 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 GREAT MOVE. The Jets just got Thomas Jones for nothing other than moving down 20 spots. Best move of FA so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stussy109 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Dj is very familiar with Jone's play, if Jaurpn thought he would be an upgrade, he'd be on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Yeah, me either. But I KNOW i saw it on espn....it must be true! It's on ESPN Radio. It's true. He's a Jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Chipper Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 The Jets raped the Bears on that trade. Either they have a ton of confidence in Benson or they want someone at 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Dj is very familiar with Jone's play, if Jaurpn thought he would be an upgrade, he'd be on the team. Why would he be? TJ came to Chicago after Jauron left. Unless you're saying as a Lions D-coordinator he got to see Jones a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarkinBanks Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I had Thomas Jones on my fantasy team last year so watched him play A LOT and paid very close attention. He is a good, NOT GREAT running back. He helps the Jets but is not a difference maker in my book. No big deal from this perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 no link. just saw it on sportcenter oh, for a SWAP of 2nd round picks big whoop. more of the same for them. he's a washington clone: small, relatively fast runner who's not exceptionally talented as a receiver or pass blocker. lacking in short yardage situations given lack of size. if anything they needed a power back dillon-type who could show defenses a different look and pound the ball in short yardage situations. they could have also gotten dillon for nothing. who's to say what they lose by moving lower in the draft? this strikes me as one of the more stupid things they could have done unless they know washington is a lot worse than everyone else thinks he is.

John Adams Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I had Thomas Jones on my fantasy team last year so watched him play A LOT and paid very close attention. He is a good, NOT GREAT running back. He helps the Jets but is not a difference maker in my book. No big deal from this perspective. Exactly right. Jones is a fine RB. Not great. It's a fair trade. I'd expect more for McGahee than to move up so slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Yeah, because they didnt just spend the 4th overall pick on a RB 2 years ago. For starters, Briggs for McGahee would never....ever....happen, but Benson has shown almost nothing in Chicago. He's been injured and hasn't been able to carry the load. I only saw a few games this season, but every time I saw Benson in he was screwing something up. Right after the Super Bowl Jones said he wanted to be on the team anymore and asked to be traded. Chicago isn't trading just because they have all sorts of faith in Benson. IMO, they will be be looking for another RB, though I would guess they use the draft and that new second rounder to find a partner for Benson.

BuffaloRebound Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 That represents a high 3rd rounder per the draft trade value chart. Have to figure the Bills think McGahee is worth at least that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most mocks had him going to the Jets with pick 37. i think this move sets up a slide of a lot of RBs back from the 2nd into the 3rd. kenny irons was pretty sure he was going to the jets 6 weeks ago. i doubt that happens now. we may now be able to grab a good RB in the 3rd as a steal, much like Youboty last year...
