My depth chart after free agency and the draft...




A lot can still happen that could change our overall roster, and the OTA's and summer workouts haven't even started yet. It's absurdly early to start looking at who will start and who will contribute in various packages. So... here we go!

QB- Not sure yet, need to see more from our current players. That was an attempt at humor. Clemens is not the right guy to be our #2 anymore. First of all he deserves to go somewhere else. He deserves the chance to compete. If Eric Ainge isn't ready to step up to #2 after 3 seasons he should be dumped.

RB- Shonn Greene should be our starter, and LT should be able to contribute on 3rd down. I would like to see Greene average 20 touches a game so that we can get a crystal clear picture regarding his durability. He could easily break 1200 yards if he can play all 16 games. I can care less about Mcknight.

FB- Obviously Richardson is the man, but I hope to see John Conner get some playing time.

WR#1- Braylon Edwards.

WR#2- Santonio Holmes. He is better than Edwards, but #17 has more potential. We need to know if he is worth a big contract when this season ends. Also, Holmes is used to the #2 spot.

Slot- Jericho Cotchery. He could put up 100+ receptions this year if things fall into place.

TE- Dustin Keller. I am very concerned with our depth at this position. If Keller goes down our whole offense would feel the effects.

LT- D'Brick.
LG- Vlad the Impaler.
C-Mangold.
RG- Moore. He was amazing during our playoff run last year. I am thrilled we held onto him.
RT- Woody. He's getting older, and eventually I could see Vlad playing in Damien's spot.

RE- Very interesting position for the Jets in 2010. I could see Gholston lining up here in any 4 man fronts (nickel or dime). I would very much like to see Ropati Pitoitua get as many snaps as possible as our 3-4 RE. Rodurique Wright will probably be able to contribute here.

DT- Big Jenks and Pohua. Devito and Pohua showed some real moxey when Jenkins went down last year, and I hope they can rotate in to rest Jenkins.

LE- I have been waiting for an upgrade here for 2+ seasons, but no one can deny Sean Ellis's contribution last year. He may have one or two more big years left thanx to Rex Ryan.

ROLB- This position should be filled by Adalius Thomas on 1st and 2nd down and Jason Taylor on 3rd down. I am not sure if the Jets will snatch Thomas up, but he was born to play our system, and no one knows that better than Rex.

WILB- Bart Scott and Jamal Westerman. I feel that Scott is useless on 3rd down. Westerman has the young legs and strength to pressure the QB on passing downs.

SILB- David Harris. His back up should be Scott. If Harris goes down I would rotate Scott to his spot and use Westerman and Josh Mauga on the weak side.

LOLB- Calvin Pace. Nuff' said.

FS- Leonhard. Had a slow start last year, but has a knack for the big play, especially down the stretch.

SS- Dwight Lowery. He should move from nickel back to SS and take Rhodes spot. Brodney Pool has a history of injuries, and would be better used in Dime and Quarter packages. He can still have an impact, and will take less punishment.

CB#1- Again, I need to see more. Hardy har har!

CB#2- Cromarite. I really think he can excel considering the attention our other offseason pickups will draw. He can simply lay back and pounce on those desperation passes that will be soaring this year. Our pass rush should create endless opportunities for Antonio, and playing opposite Revis shouldn't hurt either.

Nickel Back- Kyle Wilson. Wouldn't be shocked if he is our #2 in 2011. He has what it takes.
