I haven't followed prospects yet, but I like the positional choices. Obviously RB is the biggest hole. Most likely need somebody to replace Jennings. Secondary will have a big hole once Woodson retires, even though Hayward and Macmillian have done a nice job this year. Not sure about OL picks though outside of Center. Saturday may not have another year left. I just don't think they have been bad. More of injury and Rodgers trying to do too much that made them look bad. Other than that, DL depth would be nice, but MM and TT would rather be roster heavy at TE and LB due to their special teams beliefs.
Just a quick break down of the picks I gave you guys...
Round 1 - Giovani Bernard, RB, North Carolina
Best back in this draft. I doubt that'll change through the combine and work outs.
Round 2 - Cobi Hamilton, WR, Arkansas
He's 6'3'', 210, runs a 4.57 40 (don't quote me 100% on that 40 time, I'm like 99% sure it's right though) and is very athletic. Good combo of size and speed and runs solid routes. I know he had a monster 300+/3 TD day this season and is fairly underrated imo.
Round 3 - Alvin Bailey, OT/G, Arkansas
This was a kind of I'm not sure what to give the Packers pick. Versatile and good was what I was looking for and Bailey is that. You can plug him in at either guard spot or RT and he should be just fine. He's big and a great run blocker with a very high ceiling. I was thinking, new RB, may as well bolster the run blocking too a little bit.
Round 4 - Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State
Mainly depth. He can develope into a starter and as you said, once Woodson is gone, secondary will take a massive hit. Thomas can develop into a starter but he'll need a year or so.

The only way I see Jets going offense in the first round is if either Luke Joeckel falls (which isn't going to happen), or if we stupidly draft Geno Smith or Barkley.
Kerley is an average slot guy, Holmes and Hill are both #2. Braylon doesn't have a role yet. We aren't going to risk our first rounder on a WR, unless it's a sure shot #1 guy (Like AJ Green/Julio Jones where). Speculation around Vick has already surfaced, and I'm gonna go out a limb and say there will be some more around Flynn, Cousinss and Alex Smith. The Jets aren't going to turn into a team like the Pats/Packers/Saints etc. They're going to try to mold into the 49ers/Seahawks mold. They're going to need to get someone who can rush the passer (Mingo or Dion), upgrade the RT and maybe LG positions, get a QB that can manage games (Alex Smith, Cousins) and upgrade the RB position.
Every team that has QB troubles will have speculation and rumors of Vick, Smith, etc lol, that's nothing new. I hear all of the "sure things" that the Cardinals are going ham for Vick and Alex Smith and blah blah and McNabb and herp a derp and etc etc etc lol. I get all of those same things too, you can't pay any attention to them because they're just rumors. The facts are, Sanchez is a Jet, their best option right now, so as of right now, they need to help him. That's it, that's all this mock is, what it'd be like, right now.

Gotta love the idea of Manti joining our D.
I don't think Cleveland drafts another QB this year though.
Only reason I have them grabbing a QB is because you may not have McCoy so you'll need that backup and/or if there are anymore changes in the front office/coaching, guys may want their own guy in over Weeden.
