    Trade down if they can, stock pile picks and use it to bring in a bunch of talent, mainly WR's, Secondary, and Pass Rushers.

    We always get our best guys from the lower rounds any way.

    Im not sure why playoff teams are picking ahead of us and others. Makes no sense to me.

    But I'll take it any day since NE slips to 24th, instead of 20th.

    If Tebow is there, worth the chance?

    I would not take him, I don't think he will be an NFL QB, but you never know and we have all seen the Jets do way way worse.

    I personally think he will go back to school but he settled down a little this season, before this season i would of said he is not a NFL QB, but i think with the right coaching he could be.

    Maybe like I said you never know, but he does run around an awful lot, I think if he can make an adjustment to fix that he would have a better shot.

    Looks like we just made it into the top spot of all the 9-7 teams, so I guess that's pretty good.

    Chicago, Detroit (Dallas), Tampa Bay and Arizona are in line behind us.

    Wouldn't SD pick after us since they made the playoffs?

    I think 17th in the draft is pretty good, all things considered.

    He’s (Tebo) going to go back to school if he’s smart and enjoy his senior year. Then – after he doesn’t get drafted because he is Danny Weurffel, he’ll join a missionary and go to Africa and work on world hunger or something.

    He’s extremely religious and known to fire up a sermon in the huddle –

    Ummmm.. Is this official? That doesn't make any sense for a playoff team to be picking ahead of a team that didn't make it in. I thought that was the way it has always worked, regardless of season record? Am I wrong?

    Tebow will be there in the 2nd round and maybe the 3rd.

    That can't be accurate. It is probably based solely on record if the draft were to happen today. It will change when the playoffs are done.

    I think Ratliff has a pretty good upside, so i say try and develope him, get another pick by trading Clemens, and GET A MONSTER PASS RUSHER!

    I think only if they make the Superbowl, both Superbowl teams pick last

    Brandon Spikes, welcome to New York. Tim Tebow is going to Miami in the third.

    Tebow will go back to school (most likely).

    He would be a gamble/project, but @ 17 could be worth the risk as long as there's a veteran (Favre?) and he's allowed to ride the pine for at least 1 full season +

    The Tebow jersey sales in the state of Florida would dwarf the Favre sales nationwide. Woody's licking his chops :wink::smile:

    Do you think he'll work in the 3-4?
