I don't think Thomas Jones is going to be a complete dud this year, but he's unlikely to match his numbers from last season. Since they haven't made a move this offseason, I have to assume that the Jets are content letting Jones play out this last year of his contract and hit the road. They'll probably look to prepare their other two backs, Leon Washington and rookie Shonn Greene, for the transition by giving them more carries this year unless Jones comes into the season on fire.

I wouldn't target Jones specifically in your draft, but if you find him at his current ADP of 5.08, according to Fantasy Football Calculator, he's a decent value. The Jets still have one of the best offensive lines in football and should look to run the ball quite a bit this season regardless of which quarterback is under center.

Just make sure to snag Shonn Greene late in your draft if you get Jones so that you aren't left high and dry if Jones struggles and/or causes contract drama that forces the Jets to look to the future sooner than expected. For more on Greene, see my previous post on him: http://bit.ly/15zojc

I just want your opinion on T. Jones. He had a great year last year with favre at the qb finishing 4th among rbs in 2008. I haven't heard much about him this year besides he is unhappy with his contract and that washington and rookie greene might steal some carries…is he worth a nod this year even without brett?

If you start two wide receivers, I'd feel pretty safe doing this deal. You'd have L.T., Barber, Wayne and Winslow going into the draft, which is a pretty good foundation already.

You'd also be able to take a receiver in the first round like Greg Jennings, Calvin Johnson or Roddy White, but don't be afraid to take another running back if someone like Forte or Slaton falls to you there. Assuming you go receiver in the first, just make sure to get some L.T. insurance in the second round by taking a quality running back.

Good luck with your draft, ajk816.
