YJF Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Interesting note. Jets didn't sign any CB's. From that list. It looks like John Pickens has the best chance to stick, atleast as a practice squad candidate. He can play inside and outside, so that gives him a versatility edge over someone like Kenyatta Wright. The key as usual, will be special teams play. O-Lineman Mike King and Isaac Snell are interesting prospects. Snell might be an NFLE guy next season.
