How about moving Rogers to free safety?

[Zerohero]

For some reason i don't seem him taking that well.

Why not draft Eric Berry?

I would be perfectfly happy with Berry, like jump up and down happy with a smile and stuff. He is the only pick not a OL that would illicit such a reaction.

Saw this also...

Early speculation on Donte Whitner being signed. I know its kinda early but it got me thinking about trade bait back there.

Yes, because draft day reactions are an indicator of future success Well at least for the Jets.

Myron Rolle is a rare class of human being with a combination of smarts and athletic ability. Someone's going to get a heck of a football player a few years down the line, if that.

It is very likely that he won't be there at 4. But if he is, I would want him over Bradford and Clausen 100 out of 100 times.

i think he could be there at four and i'm with you on getting him 100 out of 100 times, unless we can trade down

Please no Whitner.

We have to many needs to a waste pick on another safety

[Kalisto2010]

I'd say yes, he hits very hard for a corner. He could be our Antrel Rolle.

[Pocket$ $traight]

It doesn't make sense to move Hall to FS as he is being paid like an elite cover corner. That is just too much money to throw at an experiment.

Horton is not a FS as he gets roasted in coverage situations. He had a great start to his career but he is not who you want as the last line of defense or covering a good pass catching tight end.

IMO Rogers is just too good as a cornerback to play around with back there. I would rather go with a FA if we really need to upgrade there.

I still think that Landry can play that position and he is currently our best FS. Hopefully Haslett can coach him up.

Last line of defense is the FS's job, covering Tight Ends frequently is done by SS's. So where do you want Horton playing?

FS also picks up or helps on receiver routes, I'd rather have Horton doing SS over FS by far.

Well, I am not a huge Horton fan, honestly. He had one great game. I think he is probably our 4th best safety. Landry, Doughty, Moore, Horton..

Average tight ends on him are a mismatch and I wouldn't sleep a wink if someone told me he had to cover Witten for an entire game. He has no shot against wide receivers either.

He definitely is worth a roster spot but I haven't seen anything from him to think he is going to fix our secondary problems.

I like how Moore hits and I thought he made a great interception against NO before he coughed it up (I think he was down but it doesn't matter at this point....). Moore isn't coming off IR either.

Even if Horton is better than Moore, which is possible, my main point is that I do not envision Horton coming back and making us forget about our FS issues. It is much more likely that Landry steps up and plays the position at a high level.
