He just said on ESPN that Abe to lions may happen.

We get thier#9 and the yget Abe and a 3rd,,

who do we take?

keep the 4th and 9th and take who?

keep 1 pick and trad ethe other?

trade both and get a slew of picks?

Where do I sign?

Having two picks in the top 10 gives The Jets so much flexibility, They can move up or down depending on who is on the board.

4 - DE Mario Williams

9 - OT D'Brickshaw Ferguson or OT Marcus McNeil

Flip what you just posted...D'Brick 4 and Williams 9...I think Williams has a better shot lasting until 9 than D'Brick does. Either way, I would be happy with those two.

Green Bay will take Williams at 5 if he's there.

Book it!

I agree, I do not see how D'Brick would be still on the board come the 9th pick.

Plus, JetFanFL, if no D'Brick at 9, Marcus McNeil is a nice option. Mario Williams is more likely to fall off the draft board before D'Brick. MW will go to GB at 5 if the Jets do not select him. Kampan is out and he was never really a pass rusher to complement KGB on that line anyways and that's what GB is seeking. Unless they pull a fast one and don't bring back Ahman Green and go after DeAngelo Williams, Williams will be the Pack's pick at 5.

Take Brick/Cutler & Vernon Davis

Or

Mario Williams & Ngata

Id be thrilled.

Trade down from #4 and get an extra second. #9-Davis, Other #1-McNeil, 2nd Rounders take Stovall and best guard/center available and we have almost an immediately impactual offense.

Why on Earth would that be better than drafting D'Brick/Davis, then the best guard or center? Maurice Stovall is not significant enough for us to pass up D'Brick for a lesser tackle. There are plenty of intriguing recievers available in rounds 3-7.

oh man...id love to take the 2nd one---defense still wins championships, and that gives mangini just about all the pieces he needs, save maybe a shutdown corner.

One question though...if that were to happen, what would we do with D-rob....since we might be moving to a 3-4, which would ofcourse leave the front line as Williams-Ngata-Ellis(i assume)

Robertson isnt going to get cut, and it's sort of hard to have that much money sitting on the bench---what do you guys think?

Let me ask you guys this...if you were a Lions fan, would you be satisfied giving up the #9 pick in the draft for Abraham? I know I wouldn't be...but, maybe that has to do with knowing his history here with us.

Good question. I think from a Lions fans perspective you are hoping that a change of scenery helps him and Rod Marinelli is hoping he is another simeon rice.

Well besides the fact that McNeil is already a better tackle than D'Brick, and the fact that we'll need more than one OT and and a TE to make ourselves a contender, the obvious answer is to accumulate as many picks to fill as many needed position as possible. Especially if releasing Mawae and Kendall is on our agenda. Passing on D'Brick to get a comparable if not better tackle in McNeil, and get a guard and one of the best WRs in the draft is a better option than one player. It's like saying I'm going to take Orlando Pace and Tony Gonzalez rather than taking Tony Gonzalez, Jon Runyan, Larry Allen, and a possible Keyshawn type WR. It's simple which package you choose.

I love all these guys hoping for offensive guys with both picks. You win games with defense and you win games with your front seven. Mario Williams at 4 and Marcus McNeill with the other pick. Then come back with Mangrove with our pick in round 2.

These rumors are a good thing, regardless if they have any validity or not. If interested teams perceive a lot of Abe trade action, all it can do is drive up the price. Pass rushers are at a premium in the NFL and hopefully some team panics and overpays for Abe. Let the bidding begin gentlemen.

This is what I was hoping would happen, that enough teams (2) would be interested and drive the price up. Detroit's 9th would be really sweet and give us tons of options. I would keep 4 and trade down from the 9th depending on who is available. It's tough to say who to pick until draft day. I don't think we need Lendale, too many other glaring holes to grab a rb in the first round, sorry.

Nothing you said had any credibility after reading the first sentence. If Marcus McNeil is so much better, why is he a mid-first rounder, while D'Brick could go as high as the top 3?

And Stovall has never struck me as anything special. He massively under-achieved his entire career at Notre Dame until Weis got there. Wide reciever is a need, but it is not a gaping hole, which we have plenty of. The Jets would be better off spending a second day pick on a wide reciever, rather than reaching for a one year wonder that was previously known as a malcontent.

It probably has something to do with the Jets having the 31st ranked offense in the NFL last season. Also to do with the fact that before the Jets are ready to compete again, they will need an upwards of 8 new starters on offense. Everyone knows defense wins championships. However, it doesn't win jack **** when it's on the field 35 minutes a game and the offense puts up 10 points.

Carl....you have lost your mind,it's to be expected from a Redsox fan.
