All your Mike Zimmers are belong to us. Your defense are on your way to destruction. Make your time.
As for the Jets strategy of drafting Brick and Mangold together. Well it's hard to argue with the results. A 31 year old running back with 1,400+ yards and a 4th round pick with 500 yards. 2,700+ yards total rushing with a 4.5 ypc average is Terrell Davis territory.
I believe we could do the same thing with Okung and DuCasse. Still remember this is a team that easily could have gone 8-8 (I would say 7-9 but they proved the victory over Cincy wasn't a fluke), and they had the #1 defense in the league both in PPG and YPG. They'll be good long term thanks to Sanchez . Still it's funny how similar this team is to the 2001 Ravens.
The only thing that worries me about not taking a QB first is the possibility that we will not be picking in the top 10 for a while. Remember we don't have Zorn as our HC and Vinny isn't in the front office. You have a much better chance of finding a franchise QB here then you do later. Though as I've said before I will not complain if we go OL with our first 2 or 3 picks. Namely our first and second rounders.
HUH?
But I do agree with you that this Jets team does look an awful like the 2001 Ravens. Great Running game and a Great Defense.
