Every year all the "experts" say this draft is deep at this or that position or the entire draft. When you think about it how many of all these "great" picks turn out great? From Tanny/Jets Article Every year there might be up to 5 success stories, I like taking proven NFL players and will take that option any day over drafting uncertainties.
I wouldn't mind trading some of next years picks for this year because I have little faith in there being a season next year. All signs point to a lockout. Only prob is no one will prob trade for them because of that very reason.
Tannenbaum believes in filling primary needs before the draft to give us maximum draft flexibility. That's what I believe in too.
