I'd rather draft a QB with one of our 5 picks in the first four rounds and hold an open competition between Kellen Clemens, Brett Ratliff, Erik Ainge, and Rookie QB X than waste any money on Derek Anderson. I know it's uncertain, but I'd rather focus on moving the defense from good to great and take my chances with finding a good young QB internally (or wait for a better QB market next offseason) Asomugha is tempting, but he'll probably get a fat contract from the Raiders; in any event, I'd imagine he'd be out of our price range. I'd cut/trade Favre, cut Moore/Barrett/Bowens/Baker, let Barton (the only FA of monetary significance) walk, bring back Richardson and Chatman, and use the 9-12M in cap space left after those moves to sign one of the three Baltimore linebackers, preferably Terrell Suggs; use whatever's left over to add some veteran cap casualties of other teams to plug a hole or two. Then, in the draft, I'd target a safety or a cornerback in round one, QB in round 2, another DB in round three, and OL and DL/LB in the 4th round. Something like: 17- CB Vontae Davis, Illinois 52- QB Nate Davis, Ball State 76- S Patrick Chung, Oregon 110- DT/DE Alex Magee, Purdue 115- G Ramon Foster, Tennessee Giving me a roster of: QB- Clemens/Ratliff/Ainge/Nate Davis RB- Jones/Washington/Chatman FB- Richardson/Caulcrick WR- Coles/Stuckey/Henry WR- Cotchery/Smith/Clowney TE- Keller LT- Ferguson LG- Faneca C- Mangold RG- ????

I don't see Warner as a Jet, and Kyle Boller isn't the answer. Which leaves Derek Anderson? I'd keep the starters that are FA, I'd let Law go, and go after Nnamdi Asomugha to lock down the corners with Revis. Where the Jets are picking the depth will probably be at DE, or there's a chance they could get Vonte Davis the corner from Illinois. SOme mock drafts have them taking a RB, but there are too many needs for a team with backs. SO I go DE or the CB if they dont get Asomugha. 2nd round pick depends, if there is a decent SS, go SS else o-line or a QB Realistically, moving Favre one way or the other makes too much sense given cap concerns, don’t know the best route for QB next year.
