Jets | Interest In Vilma - from www.KFFL.com

Randy Lange, of the Bergen Record, reports the New York Jets like NFL draft prospect LB Jonathan Vilma (Miami, FL). According to NFL sources, the Jets would love to draft him with their No. 12 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft to continue the makeover of youth and speed of their linebacker corps.

If the Jets take Vilma, its likely that Robinson could fall to us.

SMOKE!!!
They want a conerback, either Hall of Robinson

At least their is one smart person out there. I see so many mocks with them taking a LB in round one, when it is very obvious that their weak point is at corner. They didn\'t go after Winfield just to go after a player. Plus, they already have 4 starting LB\'s...why do they need another? They got Cowart moved to the middle with Hobson (last years 2nd round pick) & Barton (from oakland) on the outside and they will use Abraham as a LB in their 3-4 sets. Sure, they need depth but you do not draft first round guys as depth.

Are you implying something?
I think Vilma is too good to pass up at 12. He is the next Ray Lewis.

But you are right, he is no Victor Hobson.

i feel that the jets will move down and take either vilma or robinson. if they move down, i\'m sure they won\'t move past 17, as they too know that we need CB and LB like they do.

Who and where the Jets pick will tell the tale as to who the Saints will draft. They are in the same boat as us (searching for young defensive help) and after they pick, we will have a pretty good idea as to who is gonna be available.

jim bone, you stole the idea right out of my head... i totally agree

I dont steal...I just borrow very creatively.

Lets get that straight.

that\'s what i meant

I said the same thing, but their need at CB is far greater than their need ar LB.

next Ray Lewis? i don\'t know about that one. but he\'ll be a real good MLB. i can\'t see the jets passing on robinson, especially if hall is gone (which, he will be)

I was just kidding about Vilma being the next Ray Lewis.

I do think that he may be the next Randall Godfrey.
A future Pro-bowler but not a franchise player.

While, I don\'t agree with Vilma being the next Ray Lewis and I still prefer Hall/Robinson (only) over Vilma, I read something interesting about Vilma and all I can say was WOW. Actually, it was D.J. Williams who said it.

Williams said that the coaches would draw up plays before practice and Vilma would go out there and not make one mistake. With that being said, the guy is very intellegent on the field and off the field because he also had a 3.5 gpa. If you want to read the article, I\'ll post the site.

I think we are going to have to move up in order to get Vilma. As much as I like him myself, I think he could go earlier than some expect even earlier than 12. DJ Williams I think will be there at 18 and we can trade down to 22 and get him still. But if Vilma goes early and the Saints want DJ then they may move up to snag him to make sure no one else pulls a surprise and gets DJ earlier than expected. I think this is going to be a crazy draft, lots of trades and a lot of second guessing team picks. This is the type of draft they will be talking about for years... \"oh yeah this player was picked over so and so and blah blah...\" There is just so many different senerios that could take place its mind bogeling.

I have learned two things while being a football fan.

1. You can never predict the draft

2. Explaning to my girlfriend for the 100th time why the quarterback has his hands firmly pressed against the center\'s crotch is more fun than reading anything posted by Datfu.

Its going to be difficult to second guess what Hasslett and company does this draft...

I am sure that people will find a way to second guess anything he does.

I am sure he will be blasted for not taking someone\'s favorite player or something like that.

You\'re right, like if the saints trade up to get Vilma, some will say they could have waited blah blah blah... but if you covenant a player then you get him.

Priceless!!!
