    Im a little upset about this. We kind of look like the redskins now, only having 3 picks this entire draft. I love the two picks we did get and I guess the thinking is would you rather draft 2 definite stars or 3 possible stars 3 possible duds.

    As stupid as this sounds I think the reason why Im mad is because we dont have a 4th round pick, because we always draft studs there

    I am just starting to think that the trade ups were done for money reasons, especially because Sanchez will cost quite a penny(Because Detroit have shown ineptitude in negotiations with Stafford which hurts us)

    Yeah I like the Green pick I just don't like what we gave up for him. I think we could have made the move with our 6 and 7...it was Detroit of all teams lol

    I can deal with it tho, Green is awesome

    Right.

    We've drafted a potential franchise quarterback and a replacement power back -- two long-term starters...in a weak draft.

    2010 will be loaded.

    Only bringing in 3 to 4 players through the draft will save this team a lot of cash for next season and beyond. I like that they are targeting players that fit the scheme and getting the players they have on top of their board.

    Apparently, Ryan and Tannenbaum realized very early that there isn't much value in this draft.

    I'm fine. We came into the off-season with a full draft; the Skins are always screwed long in advance.

    The FO got the corner they wanted in Lito Sheppard, the running back they wanted in Greene and the quarterback of the future. We didn't disturb the 2010 draft much.

    I'm just afraid giving away our 4th rounder will prevent us from getting a decent TE.

    Who's left, Pascoe and Hill? We can still sign FA Billy Bajema if we come away empty handed.

    Yeah, I think we're going to bring in ALOT of UDFAs and we'll probably sign a few free agents too. I'm sure we'll see a blocking TE and a veteran WR..

    IM SO HAPPY! For once the Jets drafted the ONE player I really wanted in the draft. Greene is going to lead Gang Green to awesome things.

    Think of all the young talent on this offense, amazing.

    I'm just as excited, sir. This was actually the perfect draft. We save money, we gained two very good players in this weak draft class. You gotta love it.

    To be honest, I think there were only a few teams that really seen how weak this draft class was, and they wanted nothing to do with spending top dollar for average players. Cowboys, Bears, Jets, etc..

    The Broncos are clueless.
