    Mangini offered no insight whether the Jets will take a QB with the fourth overall pick or move up to get one. He did say the Jets will meet with USC's Matt Leinart, Texas' Vince Young and Vanderbilt's Jay Cutler.

    He offered these opinions on:

    Cutler: "What makes him interesting is he's at a program that hasn't had a lot of success and then he's able to create a level of success that they haven't seen. It's always intriguing: Why was he able to do it? What qualities did he have?"

    Leinart playing with better talent around him than Cutler: "He may be hurt by the same things that helped Cutler. People may look at him and say: Would he have been as successful at Vanderbilt? And would Cutler have been more successful at USC?"

    Young's poor Wonderlic score: "I've been around players that have had low Wonderlic scores that have been some of the smartest players I ever coached. . . . If you get to know them, you're thinking: 'How could he possibly grade out at this? He's so much smarter than his score indicates.' Then you have dumb smart guys. They've got great scores but they can't figure it out. They would do great if they had to write a paper before each game. As smart as they are and as good as they are in the classroom, they can't put it into action."
