Opinion on Jets draft so far. - New England Patriots Forums

They got Wilkerson and Ellis so far.

With the 2 picks they had i gotta say they have had a good draft so far.

Wilkerson was a player widely rumored to go to the Pats and i definately wouldn't have minded if we got him.

Ellis has some character issues but has the potential to develop into a monster nose tackle.

they made 2 solid picks. Somewhat risky but rex can keep them in check.

Fairly good for what they had. You can't keep a Team stocked with only two or three players a year from the Draft.

Ellis could be going to jail for 20 years. Check it out.

Ellis's character issues would scare me, but he'll fit right in with the Jets. He could be damn good. I'm glad NYJ didn't get Taylor, but Ellis might just do the trick too.

Not bad ... who's their new starting RT? Does this mean they are going to throw money at retaining their two part-time hero wideouts? I look forward to seeing how well they compete with NE this year, it's nice to have a scrappy AFC East, I hope Buffalo and Miami step up more and make NE's kids work - I want a battle tested and hardened team entering the playoffs.

Personally, I think Wilkerson will be a bust. Watch his PSU and UConn games when he was locked down. He made his bones against weak MAC teams.

The Ellis pick may end up being a lot more impressive. If he stays out of jail.

I rate their draft so far a C+

If you can watch ESPN 3, keep an eye on #9 Wilkerson. He plays very soft, is locked down, and has trouble with non-MAC OLs.

Just watch the first UConn offensive series.
