I'm sorry fellas, ordinarily I wait at least a week or two between updates, but with the recently concluded combines and so much info to digest, there is so much movement at this time of year ... so I tried to digest as much info as I can gather, without suffering from information overload , place it all in it's proper perspective {i.e. taking heed of the combines, but not too much}, and submit a new 3 RD Mock with no trades I also took some recent revelations into account, most notably the Titans deciding to cut bait with their long-time franchise LT, Brad Hopkins ... yet another aging cap casualty So without further ado, and it's far from perfect, below is my updated 3 RD Mock with no trades =========== UPDATED MOCK for DRAFTDADDY, 3-1-06 No Trades, but I'm assuming the Jets have dealt John Abraham The assumption is the Jets acquiring a 1st RD Pick to be used on an OT ROUND ONE == 01.

BTW, keep an eye on Adeyanju ... Good fit for the Jets if we trade Abe Adeyanju is sort of flying under the radar, but this kid can pull an Osi Umeniyora and go much higher than folks suspect BIG DE with serious pass rush skills ... usually you are one or the other, a smallish edge rusher who struggles verses the run, or a big run stuffing end who's not much of a pass rusher ... the cats who are both are quite unique and very desirable players ... Adeyanju is both, big kid {6' 4"/275+?} who has some serious pass rush skills I am also taking into account Mangini's scheme ... we will play at least as much 3-4 as 4-3 with Mangini, if not more ... it will fluctuate to some degree, as it does in NE, but we'll be using a lot of 3-4 ... so we need BIGGER DE's than the norm, 3-4 DE's, but preferably cats who can stay on the field in the 4-3 as well, as edge rushers ... Adeyanju is one of the few DE's in this draft who fits the mold Anyhow, right now most folks suspect VA can go in RD 3 ... it's not a reach ... I only wonder if he will even be there when the Jets go on the clock in RD 3? He probably will, unless he pulls an Osi {who eventually went in RD 2} I don't see that happening in this draft ... it's too deep with quality ... but it's possible
