How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

I wish our fanbase didn't have an obsession with OL and not discounting the need to upgrade if possible at RT but you don't draft RT in the 1st round, especially not in the teens! That's just madness. If you have good scouting and good coaching you should be able to get a RT in the 3rd round and have him starting on opening day.

Well, if we do our homework, we can get a scheme-effective LB in the third round, and could avoid paying top-half-of-first-round money to a guy who will probably be playing for a different coordinator in a different scheme in a year from the guy that's drafting him.

Orakpo is fine since he's scheme-adaptable and figures to take over for Andre Carter anyway, but would you really have Maybin over say, Michael Oher? Maybin is not even half the prospect Vernon Gholston was a year ago and the Jets are already trying to pull their pants up from that one.
