Mike Mayock on the Draft and the Jets The NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock discussed the draft on the Rich Eisen Podcast. Here are a few highlights, including his view that the Jets" Quinton Coples is a boom-or-bust pick: As provided by NFL Network "I loved Tampa Bay and I loved Minnesota because they manipulated the board, they got the guys they wanted and then they come back up and poached at the end of the first round." "I felt the big hole on the Dallas Cowboys - maybe even go back 10 or 12 years - has been the play at the safety position. I feel like they'd have played in a Super Bowl or two if they had a quality group of defensive backs back there...[Morris] Claiborne steps in day one and he's expected to be a prime-time player immediately. "I went on the record before the draft in saying I thought that the defensive end from Syracuse, Chandler Jones, who was number nine on my board - three years from now he might be the best defensive end in football...I love that pick and the [Dont'a] Hightower thing was a no-brainer. You want to talk about somebody who is right up Bill Belichick's alley it's this kid. "I hope the kid gets his life straightened out because three years ago he was one of the most highly recruited kids in the country. I just wish he would get to work, shut his mouth and play." - on undrafted linebacker Vontaze Burfict "LaMichael James in San Francisco, along with A.J. Jenkins, provides a completely different dimension." On the Jets: [Quinton] Coples is boom or bust, and I've said it from Day 1. Rex Ryan will get the most out of him. Mike Pettine, who I highly respect, is their defensive coordinator. If you get what you can out of Coples, you got a big player. Stephen Hill is another height/weight/speed freak...I think we're reaching a little bit there as far as we're drafting for Tim Tebow - they're drafting for the New York Jets. The Tim Tebow package or however they incorporate him in, I like it because it causes defensive coordinators angst. Every defensive coordinator I've ever met in the National Football League has been spoiled by what little they have to prepare for in the run game. The pass game is crazy and it's sophisticated as hell. But the run game in the NFL is unimaginative except for the teams that run a little Wildcat. So the whole option thing defensive coordinators hate. If the Jets have that, it is a weapon; I don't care what anybody says. I like that the Jets offense will have that. Just because Stephen Hill was a wide receiver at Georgia Tech which ran option doesn't have anything to do with why they drafted him other than he's a height/weight/speed freak that if you throw the ball up in air in the red zone or outside the numbers he might come down with it. He's special. Extra point How good could the Patriots be with a strong pass rush? Greg Cosell of NFL Films was equally impressed with Chandler Jones of Syracuse, saying he was the best defensive end in the draft. And yet a few months ago, few were discussing Jones as a top pick. That's where tape study comes in. A look at how he shot up draft boards.
