    4. N.Y. Jets: Mario Williams, DE, N.C. State
    29. N.Y. Jets: Eric Winston, OT, Miami
    35. N.Y. Jets: Andrew Whitworth, OT, Louisiana State


    Not sure if this was posted already. Mangold gets picked by Bengals at 24.. Lendale White lasts until Eagles at #45

    I would like the first 2 picks if Mangold is off the board. But Whitmore is a surprise to me.

    I could live with that draft, it helps out both lines.

    Obviously, O-Line is an important aspect of the game, but I'm not too hot on the idea of drafting two of them on day one, especially them both being tackles. Not such a big fan of either Winston or Whitworth, but I'm sure the writer knows about them more than I do anyway. If Mangold wasn't snatched up Cincinnati, he would've been a lock at 29, I bet. One offensive lineman on Day 1, and maybe a couple more on Day 2 would be more ideal. It's common knowledge that there's tons of Diamond-In-The-Rough linemen in the later rounds.

    Takes care of needs, and the ones they have their eye on have the potential to be Pro Bowlers.

    I'd be happy with Winston. I would have taken Gilles @ 35 though. That would make more sense to me than Whitworth.

    If it goes that well, we will be sitting pretty when camp starts. I really would like to see Ramsey get a fair chance working with Shotty for a year. The smarts and the arm are there.

    Taking two tackles that high would be incredibly stupid, especially with Adrian Jones just being drafted last year. It would also be dumb to pass on White at 35 with our two other biggest needs addressed.

    We definately should have gone a different direction at 35. Gilles, Watson, or White would have been a steal there.

    Its suprising to see Giles drop that far down in the second round.
    I really hope the Saints grab Ferg with that #2 pick. It makes our choice so much easier.

    doubtful... WR is way down on the teams need list. I doubt there will be one rated higher than the OL or DL or RB prospects that will be available at 29 and 35.. I keep reading that we need LB help. I can't see how with the signings and existing players..

    Bad mock. 29 needs to be an impact pass rusher like Carpenter or Lawson. Since Whitworth will likely last to the 3rd, I do not like the pick. I would take Gilles in the 2nd and Whitworth in the 3rd

    EDIT: neither pass rusher was available at 29 in his mock. Then again I dont agree that Carpenter, Wimbley, Hali, Lawson, and Kiwanuka will all be off the board by our pick
