Interesting.

I’m kind of torn on whether or not I’d like the Jets to take Ryan.

A) Jets take Ryan, bumps another elite defensive player down.
B) Jets take Ryan, becomes the turnaround franchise QB helping the Jets once again contend.

Ideally, they take Ryan - he turns out to be a bust and we get our stud defensive player.

The Jets would have to give up their high 2nd round pick to move up to #2... Wow that's gambling quite a bit that Ryan will turn into a stud. Then again the Jets have done this kind of thing before. See Dewayne Robertson and Revis. I'm not sure what the Jets' GM is thinking. Guess he doesn't share BB's views on getting VALUE for your pick. Then again perhaps Ratgina is pushing for this because it might save his job for a couple of more years while the young QB develops.

This might be all true but I would be more suspicious that its nothing but a story being peddled by the Rams to put the heat on Atlanta and get them to pony up some of their bazillion of draft picks. Atlanta has the ammo to up the Jets or anybody else this year and I could see the Rams salivating for some of those picks.

Great! I HOPE the JESTS move up and pick higher. Let them waste 2nd round draft choice and spend more guaranteed dollars to sign a # 2 slot or # 4 slot pick (instead of just waiting at 6 for one of the top 7 elite players falling down to them). If it is Ryan they are targeting - he will have growing pains just like every other rookie QB which means Pats will still dominate the Jests at least for the next 2 years while Ryan learns the game.

Doesnt make sense to me - they signed veteran talent on the downsides of their career (Fanica, Pace, Kris Jenkins -the DT from Carolina) to compete NOW - so why would they then draft a rookie QB high in the draft ? I would think to complement the veteren talent they would want a high impact player to play and contribute NOW. I think they will take McFadden if Raiders pass on him.

Meanwhile PFT thinks they're trying to trade up for McFadden!

I agree...but who are they trying to bamboozle? Are there teams they think will trade up to #6 to grab McFadden? I'm not so sure.

The Jest have been selling McFadden like he's the second coming - poor kid - they are trying so hard to trade out of #6. I smell salary cap.

Same here! In my mocks they're looking at either McFadden or Ryan and none too happy about it. Ryan might actually be the smart pick, but the way they've loaded up on expensive, aging FAs (and the tenuous nature of their jobs) says "win now" to me.

This is getting funny, they look like they are trying real hard to deceive......
