Chaz Schilens

After injury-marred seasons in 2009 and 2010, Schilens played 15 games last year but dealt with nagging foot and groin issues and was largely buried on the Oakland depth chart. This year, he projects as a potential starter opposite Santonio Holmes on the Jets, a significant upgrade in opportunity despite the team’s below-average passing environment. At 6-4, 225, and with good long speed, Schilens has the skills to make plays down the field and is well suited to red-zone work, certainly in comparison to the diminutive Holmes. But given Schilens track record of poor health and his lack of credentials as an established receiver, his situation was best summed up by Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum: “He could catch a 100 balls ... or he could be a special teamer.” The former scenario – well, more likely 70 balls – makes Schilens worth a gamble in the later rounds.
