    I haven't heard nary a rumor about anyone, let alone the Jets' someone. There was the big trade up for RGIII but otherwise I haven't heard squat about shit. Is this a totally dead year for draftniks or it just me?

    Relatedly, where are all our draft pick visits? Or does that usually happen closer to the draft, I can never remember.

    Plenty of draftee's have visited the Jets thus far.

    If you want rumors Ill give you two: The Jets are reportedly interested on trading down and feel as though they need to compile as many picks as possible.

    Also, The Vikings are looking to trade the #3 pick in the draft because of all the Tannehill "hype" thus far, Miami and supposedly a secret team are interested.

    If you need Ill go find the source again but I heard those about two days ago.

    IMO the buzz really doesnt get heavy till a week before when people have finalized rankings and with players still coming in Im sure teams are working on their boards.

    I will admit, I havent heard about any visits by players to the Jets for a while now

    I'm Hoping For A Trade

    The Jets will either go big or go home with this draft like they did with Sanchez. I don't think or the pundits are happy with the players they have slotted to fall to them Floyd, Barron and Upshaw are yawn type players and with Tebow coming in the Jets want to maximize that coverage. I'm with the crown I don't want either of the above mention 3. Maybe they get lucky and Coples falls to them but I hope they trade up for Ingram so Rex can get this pass rush finially perculating.

    Once again, Ingram is NOT worth trading up for. No one in this draft is really worth it. I like Ingram, but I wouldnt trade up for him. I think he should be taken around 12-18, but if some team is going to reach on him, then let them.

    The only player that should be even considered for when talking about is Trent Richardson. I honestly still dont think thats worth it, but if we were to trade up for anyone, it should be him.

    If TR3 makes it past the Rams, he can be a Jet. Its not impossible, but highly unlikely... We better hope that the Browns reach on Tannehill at 4 and then Clairborne at 5.

    Tebow slayed the draft buzz this year. The beat writers have something else to focus on instead of draft rumors. Wait a week or so and it will pick up.
