I was hoping the Jets would pick best available defensive player @ #17, or trade down from the 17 for more picks, the lack of depth the Jets have has been a concern for years now. However I have caught Sanchise fever. To move up from #17 to #5 and only give up a 2nd and Coleman, Ratliff and Elam, that is the cheapest I have ever heard of it costing to make a move like that. Kudos to Tannenbaum.
I am never in favor of giving a RB a high pick in the draft, Shonn Greene in the top of the third was a good value pick in that draft slot. That said I still feel like the Jets paid too much for him when you consider how much it cost the Jets to move up for him.
Greene should contribute next year in week 2, IMHO. I have never watched him play, just going off what I have read about the kid.
I hope Sanchez works out, if not it will set the Jets back another 3 years. Charming kid, seems to have the
IT factor.
My guess is that Kellen starts next year, for no other reason then he has been in the system for so long.
Ramble.
I give the Jets draft a B, There is a lot of upside to the players they picked and the Jets also acquired Litto Sheppard with one of there picks, and as of now the Jets next year draft is intact. Changes to an A++ if Sanchez can become the franchise.
New coach, new D system, no Favre, My gut tells me the Jets will be a better team this coming season then last. I don't think the Jets have gained on the Patriots, I am looking forward to finding out.
