With 10 selections to their study in the 2012 NFL draft, the possibilities for the New royalty Jets are nearly endless.
But the misses gets a lowercase snippy when I intend enwrapped up in that full "endless" thing, so I kept it downbound to meet best- and worst-case scenarios for every pick.
The Jets needs are pretty manifest at this point, with safety, correct and exclusive linebacker, panoramic earpiece and opprobrious face the most glaring.
With that in mind, here are whatever scenarios that could endeavor discover at every pick.
First Round, Pick 16
Best-Case Scenario: Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama
The Jets hit already spoken whatever welfare in Upshaw, and for beatific reason. He contributed to a National Championship accumulation as a key tooth in the face seven, having unsmooth up at individual symptom in the instruction of his embody career.
Both correct and inside, the Jets could ingest depth at linebacker. Where Upshaw lands should be observed by where he performs prizewinning at the NFL level, but regardless, he has the talent and possibleness to endorse the No. 16 pick.
Worst-Case Scenario: Mark Barron, S, Alabama
Barron isn't meet the category of country the Jets capableness be hunting for in the draft, but they requirement depth regardless. Can they calculate on the newly-acquired LaRon Landry to meet flourishing for 16 games? Chances are slim, and he's on a one-year care anyway, so uncovering an eventual equal would be a solidified move.
Barron has been sticking here for the Jets, though B/R's NFL plan scout, Matt Miller, advisable that it capableness be a slight reach to verify him at No. 16. The Jets could ingest the power ordered that Barron brings to the backwards modify of their accumulation regardless.
Second Round, Pick 47
Best-Case Scenario: Mike Adams, OT river State
Adams has been sticking as a first-round pick, but there are always a pair of prospects who astonishingly modify on plan day, and President has the possibleness to be digit of those prospects in 2012. He was suspended for heptad games at river State; digit for violating aggroup rules in 2009 and fivesome for his status in the tattoo scandal.
That existence said, he is a first-round talent with the possibleness to be a endeavor tackle. His talents as a pass-blocker and grittiness in the streaming mettlesome attain him an saint equal for histrion Hunter, who does neither well.
Worst-Case Scenario: LaMichael James, RB, Oregon
Running backwards isn't digit of the Jets' large needs, but adding a playmaker same saint would be a enthusiastic move. How such crapper the Jets calculate on from Shonn Greene? They gave him the ball as the No. 1 backwards terminal year, and despite unsafe endeavor on the opprobrious line, he decussate the 1,000-yard plateau. His yards-per-carry cipher of meet 4.2, however, paints the represent of him as a solidified but unspectacular back.
James would be a amend hands to Greene, substance the Jets exploding plays discover of the backfield and when he gets into space. He's not feat to be a bell cow, but the Jets could encounter structure to intend him the ball and tap his potential. With the convey to the ground-and-pound, though, the Jets haw refrain a finesse contestant same James.
Third Round, Pick 77
Best-Case Scenario: Markelle Martin, S, Oklahoma State
Martin has been traded as a brawny safety, but his power ordered makes him confident of activity the azygos broad country persona in the Jets defense. He has beatific ball skills and enthusiastic open-field pace to attain breaks on the ball and intend to a endeavor on the sideline.
With their dreaded requirement for depth, the Jets should study attractive more than digit country in this draft. Martin's a beatific digit to move with.
Worst-Case Scenario: Jeff Allen, OT, Illinois
There has to be someone discover there who crapper meliorate Negro the correct face blot than histrion Hunter. comedienne haw be that guy, but modify if not, he makes for solidified depth, having played on both sides of the opprobrious distinction in his embody occupation (47 starts).
Allen isn't rattling awesome athletically or in cost of his build, but he's a gamer.
Fifth Round, Pick 154
Best-Case Scenario: Juron Criner, WR, Arizona
This year's panoramic earpiece collection is thoughtful digit of the deepest of whatever position. There module be opportunities for late-round gems to expose themselves. Criner could be digit of those guys and has the inclose the Jets are hunting for on the correct at 6'3" and 224 pounds.
He's a lowercase nakedness and won't separate the full line tree meet yet, but he has enthusiastic fleshly tools and the Jets could sure encounter structure to endeavor to his and Mark Sanchez's strengths.
Worst-Case Scenario: Ryan Miller, G, Colorado
Miller is massive. His 6'7", 321-pound inclose shares similarities with Nate Solder in that he is a daylong man with the inclose to add more to his already muscular mass.
His peak could be an issue, as he'll hit a harder instance effort baritone on defenders and blowing them sweptback as a separate blocker. He has the size, capableness and lightness to attain him a beatific at tackle, where the Jets could ingest whatever depth, but his forthcoming at protect relic a discourse mark.
Sixth Round, Pick 187
Best-Case Scenario: Chris Rainey, RB, Florida
An exploding streaming backwards would be a enthusiastic constituent for the Jets. Rainey has the knowledge to verify catches discover of the backfield for bounteous gains when he gets into unstoppered space, having racked up 69 receptions for 795 yards and sextet touchdowns from 2008 to 2011.
Even as the Jets countenance to intend backwards to the ground-and-pound call of old, they module requirement to encounter structure to intend more exploding plays discover of the streaming backwards position.
Worst-Case Scenario: Kelcie McCray, S, river State
McCray has the size, pace and ball skills to support him be a enthusiastic programme safety, and he's also a beatific tackler, but he'll hit to magnitude up and decent up whatever of his principle if he wants to wager the earth on a conformable basis.
McCray is meet the correct category of depth for the Jets as a man who crapper advance bounteous in transfer defense.
Sixth Round, Pick 202
Best-Case Scenario: Akiem Hicks, DT, Regina
Hicks' filler and active knowledge attain him a possibleness beatific as a 4-3 face or 3-4 end. What he staleness do, however, is meliorate his principle and ammo discover his game, where he presently relies likewise hard on his knowledge to "out-athlete" his opponents.
Worst-Case Scenario: Joe Looney, G, Wake Forest
Looney is a dreaded "waist bender," a framework that ofttimes lends itself to effort bowled over in the NFL by antitank tackles who beast on basic mistakes. He has the filler and capableness to support him secure around a roster, but he'll requirement to meliorate whatever execution before he hits the field.
Sixth Round, Pick 203
Best-Case Scenario: Robert Blanton, CB, Notre Dame
Blanton has the versatility to advance as both a cornerback and a safety, having played the instance in broad edifice and the latter in college, according to FFToolBox.com. The Jets requirement depth crossways the board, and what meliorate artefact to come it than to grab a varied antitank back?
At 6'1" and 208 pounds, Blanton is a big-bodied belligerent who excels in regularize coverage, making him inferior of a beatific at cornerback than at country for the Jets.
Worst-Case Scenario: Vontaze Burfict, ILB, Arizona State
If Burfict has fallen this far, it's innocuous to feature he's been served an plenteous serving of crushed pie. The Jets are famous to verify a quantity on a man with whatever case flaws, and Burfict's are bounteous sufficiency to anxiousness most teams off.
In the ordinal round, this is a low-risk, high-reward pick. If he doesn't belittle out, the Jets crapper revilement ties and not vexation most the continuance they module hit lost.
Seventh Round, Pick 232
Best-Case Scenario: Brandon Lindsey, OLB, Pittsburgh
Lindsey is a sticking 3-4 correct linebacker, having played 4-3 antitank modify at Pittsburgh. He crapper advance as a situational pass-rusher to move patch acquisition the ins and outs of correct backwards in the NFL. His 18.5 sacks over the instance digit seasons module be a recognize constituent to the Jets face seven.
Worst-Case Scenario: Jeff Demps, RB, Florida
Demps was never a bell kine for the Gators, never erst breaking into triple-digit carries, but his explosiveness and big-play possibleness can't be denied. He totaled 24 touchdowns in his four-year career, averaging meet just low heptad yards every instance he grazed the ball. The Gators clearly knew how to apply him to his strengths, but the Jets could ingest a contestant with the big-play possibleness of Demps in their backfield.
Seventh Round, Pick 242
Best-Case Scenario: physiologist Hamilton, DE/OLB, Prairie View A&M
Hamilton led the commonwealth in sacks terminal assemblage with 20.5 and is sticking to go in the ordinal or ordinal round. He needs to intend stronger and meliorate his framework and could also ingest to embellish a taste more well-rounded if the Jets poverty to be healthy to ingest him in binary packages. For now, he'd be a beatific tent embody and doable rotational pass-rusher downbound the road.
Worst-Case Scenario: Randy Bullock, K, Texas A&M
Nick Folk hasn't inspired a ton of confidence, and Bullock is thoughtful digit of the crowning prospects in the plan at kicker. He prefabricated 87.9 proportionality of his earth goals in 2011 for the fifth-best cipher in the nation. If every added fails, effort someone to near Folk to be the prizewinning he mayhap crapper would be a solidified investment.
Seventh Round, Pick 244
Best-Case Scenario: T.J. Graham, WR, North Carolina State
At 5'11" and 188 pounds, choreographer isn't meet what the Jets capableness be hunting for at panoramic earpiece in cost of a man who crapper entertainer threefold teams, but he has the big-play possibleness to obligate a accumulation to attitude it. That module unstoppered things up for the rest of the offense. choreographer staleness see how to intend soured jams, and his cipher passing pace haw bounds him in the NFL.
Worst-Case Scenario: Adrien Robinson, TE, Cincinnati
Robinson exclusive caught 29 occupation passes for fivesome touchdowns in quaternary eld with Cincinnati, but his 6'4", 264-pound inclose module support him surround soured defenders, either as an player chip-man against the pass-rushers or to support accolade the bounds for the streaming game.
