Looking at the roster and I'm not sure if it would be wise to use one of our picks on a guard (assuming no trade down for more picks). We currently have:
Colon (getting old)
Carpenter (should start)
Aboushi (a swing OT/OG who played ok at OG but may have more value as an OT)
Dozier (hopefully gets a chance to compete for a spot opposite Carpenter)
Winters (coming off an injury and had a rough rookie season)
Brewer (has experience at OG and OT)
Thoughts?

I honestly think it's not a need. But we definitely need a rock solid tackle (especially on the right side) which in turn will help the guys on the inside.

Yes, we need to go Oline at some stage, and I reckon in the first three rounds we'll have drafted one.

Get me a guy like Donovan Smith or Jake Fisher by the third round as a future Tackle and I'll be a happy camper. Although I doubt either are available with our third rounder I'll still hold out hope that at least Smith is available.
No more guards, and that is why I am against drafting someone like Scherff, especially in the first round. We need to address the tackle position and this is a good year to do it.

Smith isn't a bad option, but i like the value much better in the 4th and 5th. Marpet, maybe Sambrailo, Garcia & Green, and my favorite, Shaq Mason baby. That fucking boy would fit our new system like a glove... not to much he can play all over the line.

Its really hard to know what our need is at guard. I assume Carpenter will start at one guard spot, and the other will come down to a competition between Colon, Aboushi, Dozier & Winters -- you can even add James Brewer and Wesley Johnson to the mix. If one or two of the young guys can emerge as solid pros -- we do not have a need -- although we really do not know what we have.
I would much rather if we add a tackle. Brick is not getting any younger and Breno just did not look that good last year. Breno is likely a cap casualty next season if we have a suitable replacement on the roster. The two guys Robr mentions above would be ideal, although I doubt Fisher makes it to 3, maybe a Havenstein or Donovan Smith in the 4th is a possibility.

I'm starting to think that if Mariota and Cooper are gone, the Jets are going to trade down a few spots with someone who wants Kevin White, and then your guy Peat becomes a real possibility. |

If Mariota / Cooper are gone -- then trade down is probably our best option, but that supposes that we can find a trading partner. If we are not being offered any value in a trade -- nobody wants to move up to 6, then I have no idea which direction we would go. Could be White/Parker or whichever pass rusher we have as highest rated on our board, maybe even Gurley. I just have no idea how things are going to go down tomorrow night, can't wait to see what happens. |

He was one of the most penalized tackles in college football. I can see this hurting his stock somewhat even though his combine numbers were very good. |

Taking Peat tomorrow would torpedo Mac's stock with me. Are you kidding? Back to back offensive powerhouse drafts - and we spend our 1st round pick on an average LT prospect?? FUCK OFF. It's a terrible year for LT prospects. 3 out of the top 5 OTs are career RTs and the two lefts are meh in any other draft. It would be such a Jets thing to do that I might not even  . |

If the Jets trade back into the 10-15 area, then it's certainly a possibility. Guys like Parker, Gurley, etc could all be gone at that point. Personally, I don't buy the trade down talk. If anything, I think the Jets move up for Mariota. |
