Jets trade up to #3?

[mjt328]

I just heard on ESPN that the Jets are considering a trade up to get Trent Richardson. Obviously, to do that would probably require a move to #3 with the Vikings.

This would have a major impact on Buffalo's draft. First of all, it would add a potientally elite running back to the division. Second, it could force a player to fall like Kalil or Blackmon.

In this scenario, we would likely be looking at:

3 - NY Jets - Richardson
4 - Cleveland - Blackmon or Tannehill
5 - St. Louis - Kalil, Blackmon or Cox
6 - Tampa - Claiborne

I doubt they move up that high, but if they did, this is how I it going down:

3 - NYJ - Richardson
4 - CLE - Claiborne
5 - STL - Blackmon
6 - Tampa - Kalil

So I don't think Blackmon or Kalil will fall very far.

I think it would be pretty clear...

3 NYJ Richardson
4 CLE Blackmon
5 TB Claiborne
6 STL Kalil

I don't think it would alter the way Nix approaches our 1st pick at all.

I'm hearing that it's very unlikely unless Richardson slips out of the top 5. The Jets would have to give up too much to get him otherwise and have a bunch of needs they intend to address in this draft if possible.

It's not obvious...why deal with MIN? They for sure aren't in the rb market (unless their senseless act of putting Peterson back on the field - and him agreeing to it - has backfired big time and nobody's talking.), whereas CLE has a better likelihood of having an eye on Richardson.

Copping a term from young folks.., "I call BS!!!"

Re: Jets trade up to #3?

The Jets would be stupid to do this. Revis and Cromartie cant cover forever, and the Jets have no passrush. They also have no WR, and if i remember correctly, isnt there RB supposed to be really good? Greene? I hope this happens, it would be hilarious

Tampa has a young LT they won't take Kalil

This would be stupid IMO...Shonn Greene wasn't that bad, they just had no clue how to use him and got away from smash mouth football which was supposed to be the Jets way

Re: Jets trade up to #3?

Isn't Tebow a good enough RB?

Re: Jets trade up to #3?

you guys know tampa (and not STL) is picking 5, right? And that if Richardson is gone, they're a lock to take Claiborne?

And if both are gone, there getting Blackmon. So no matter what i dont see any of them getting Kalil

That is the reason to move to 3, AHEAD of Cleveland.

Anything to grab the headlines for these idiots...this was reported on ESPN too? Shocker.

If Clayborne is off the board & Kalil falls to the Bucs, I think they would be more than happy to trade down.
