Box, you keep giving away picks.

The Jets have their own #1 and #29. They don't have three.

Also, I am not sure the Jets could afford 4 1st rounders and a high 2nd, money wise. But Miguel is a better person to speculate that.

Afford in 2006, or leverage for Brady Quinn in 2007?

Assuming Tannenbaum's math is better then mine (some leap there

since I think I did my math wrong again

), they have the option of trading back up for a Ngata or Hawk, staying put at 15, 22, 29, and 35 they can get a LT, a RG, A C, and a RT to field an all rookie O-line, or they can trade for a 2007 first round pick.

Sue me, I'm just a generous soul with an apt screen name.

this trade prob hurts our chances of having one or more of the four rbs falling to us

Denver might be looking at a WR. Rod Smith is getting old and Lelie has yet to do what was expected of him. If anything I'd say they go WR with that pick. Not a lot of talent in later rounds.

I seriously doubt the Pats will take a RB at 21. Would be shocked if they did. Deangelo Williams is a really big maybe at 21. White or Marouney at 21 no way. Just my gut talking to me. I'm glad Dender moved up. Moves more top defensive players to us to pick from....
