Ugh.
I was really hoping one of you guys would take this dude so I could congratulate you on making a good pick and not have to take him myself.
The Jets select: Tariq Woolen, CB - UTSA
He's so damn raw and may be out of the league before his rookie contract is up. He could go in the top of the 2nd or at the bottom of the 4th. I really can't read him much at all.
But those attributes just don't come along very often. And he's raw because he's just learning the position. Meanwhile he's demonstrated some awfully good aptitude for the position and while I got a steal in Booth for the Jets earlier, it's not like the Jets have a ton of depth anywhere.
So with a team so clearly in need of talent just about everywhere and not under immediate pressure to win right away, I just have to stockpile as many potential blue-chippers as I can get.
There are MUCH smarter, more rational picks on the board here. Guys who could probably contribute on Day 1 and have significantly higher floors. But man I just can't pass on this athleticism and length. Especially when the guy has shown a willingness to get his nose dirty despite just recently making the conversion to defense.
