    Luckily we have a GM in Joe Douglas now, who would not fall for that, but be the one who is executing the sly moves. :cool:

    Jets took Lamont Jordan but then got Kareem Mckenzie in the 3rd

    Kareem was a very good RT until the Jets couldn’t sign him in 05

    You sure can’t beat drafting an RB with a mid-second round pick to play career backup to Curtis Martin. Who needs Matt Light?

    Maybe Chad Pennington survives those blows on his arm and we have him for 10+ years

    That makes me mad. I remember the Pats jumping in front of us and grapping Light and finding out later the Jets wanted him. He was a super good RT for ten years.

    At least it shows that we did have a clue or an idea on who to draft. It seems like our backup plans suck during drafts.

    But there are guys here every day complaining that they're not getting anything out of the Jets. And that's just at number two.

    You mean the Joe Douglas that somehow telegraphed his 2nd overall draft choice in March? That sly one?

    Light did not want the jets to draft him that's why he told pioli they were holding.

    Great. Now Belichick will jump ahead of us for Zack Wilson. JD should never have let on.

    I’m guessing you’re joking but trading up with Jags would probably require 2 of New England’s entire drafts to make them go for that.

    Ya, it was a joke....just playing off the Matt Light thing where NE found out we wanted Matt so they traded one spot above us.
