I was bored at work last night and was looking through old nfl drafts. We had an extra first in 1998 (Im assuming from Curtis Martin). We also had an extra first round pick in 1999. How did we acquire that? Thanks.

I think there was an extra pick when parcells left to the jets, but then we gave that back BB first year when he left the jets to come here.

Part of the Bill Parcells deal, Parcells broke his contract in New England so he could screw up the jets franchise... The commish brokered the deal.. a three, a 2 and a 1 I believe it was..

Ok Thanks I appreciate it. For some reson it wasn't listing the original team it was from, and then apparently we moved up to the Seahwaks pick, which made it much more confusing lol.

I think there were four total picks - two 3's, a 2 and 1 maybe?
