I've liked many of the choices for the Jets 1st w picks, but this by a wide margin is my favorite. If I could make it so, I would. These are the two players I really want the Jets to get.
1 - Overall #1 pick: Jadeveon Clowney 2 - New York Jets 1st Round pick: WR Brandin Cooks 3 - New York Jets 2nd Round pick: CB Jason Verett 4 - First NFL team to trade up: New York Giants 5 - Position of Mr Irrelevant: DE 6 - Predictable media soundbite of the Draft: "Typical Patriots...sitting pat where they are and being patient getting someone of great value"
1 - Overall #1 pick: Clowney 2 - New York Jets 1st Round pick: Beckham Jr(Not even counting the ties with our new Special Teams coach, I just think the upside on Beckham Jr will be too much for Idzik and his scouts to pass up on) 3 - New York Jets 2nd Round pick: Breeland(Rex has Clemson ties....loves CBs....Rex/Idzik went to Clemson's pro day. Rex will be fighting to draft this kid in round 2 lol) 4 - First NFL team to trade up: Minnesota 5 - Position of Mr Irrelevant: ILB/MLB 6 - Predictable media soundbite of the Draft: Goodell: Good evening Jet fans. Fans: BOOOOOOOOO!
