… the Jets select Leon Washington. I will fill out this post more later, but wanted to provide a link to some information on Washington. I am watching the draft and I saw Sal Pal interview Mangini about the draft and Sal asked a question to the effect of “running back of the future.” Mangini [...]

… the Jets select Brad Smith, a converted Quarterback from Missouri State.
Compare these vitals:
6' 2″213 lbs4.46 seconds in 40-yard dash39 1/2-inch vertical jump
to these
5' 10.5″189 lbs4.45 in the 40-yard dash37-inch vertical jump
Which was the first wide receiver taken in the draft, and which was one taken in the fourth round? One might think the bigger [...]

… the Jets take Eric Smith, Safety from MSU. Smith seems to be a player who might not have all the athletic gifts, but has the smarts and attitude that Mangini is looking for for one of his players. If you haven't seen the link that Bent posted on Smith, this is worth the read.
I [...]

… the Jets select Anthony Schlegel. Schlegel is known for his tackling ability and sees himself as a typical inside linebacker. Says Schlegel about his game:
“I’m a straight inside linebacker. If there’s a team that might have some issues up the middle with the run or like people who blitz, that’s what I’ve done my [...]

… the Jets moved up to get Kellen Clemens. That is of course after moving down to let the Redskins move up in the second. While allowing Clemens to drop further and picking up some value in the process, the front office made some shrewd moves to get the top second-tier QB on the board, [...]

…the Jets selected Nick Mangold . This pick is a mixed review, but between him and Ferguson, they can anchor the Jets' line for the next 5 plus years, hopefully 10. With Mangold, Trey Teague can slide to the right guard slot and between Ferguson, Kendall, Mangold, Teague/Moore and Jones, this line has gone from [...]

… the Jets pick, D' Brickashaw Ferguson, Offensive Tackle from the University of Virginia. This took a lot of stones for the front office to not take Matt Leinart, and I respect the hell out of them for doing this. There will be critics either way, but to have made a play for Bush, to [...]

Not suprisingly the Jets let the Saints sweat it out early this morning, knowing they couldn't get a better deal with anyone other than the Jets. Sal P just reported to SportsCenter that is is back on… I am about go insane… I am loving this roller coaster ride.

DBJet just pointed out to me in the chat room that he is fine with the Jets staying at #4 and getting Ferguson. I have to wholeheartedly agree. Not that I wouldn't want more, but a worst case scenario and getting a beast of a tackle? I can deal with that.

The smoke around here is getting down-right redonkulus! ESPN's morning SportsCenter is just reporting that the Titans (after saying they want Young no matter what) are trying to move up to take Bush at the #2. It bears to mention that Sal Pal reported the Jets are now throttling back on their desire to go [...]
There are a lot of rumors running around this morning… just like Jerry Maguire's sage words to us last night… people get crazy. To quote the iconic Flavor Flav, don't believe the hype! Everyone who is in play are trying to do their best to mask their real intentions. Just think about it, if there [...]
I am watching Football Friday on ESPN, and Sal Paolantonio reported from Hempstead that he talked to Tannenbaum who said that they have been locked in a room all day trying to figure out how to trade up to get Reggie Bush. Apparently the Saints are most interested in A.J. Hawk, so a swap would [...]

So there it is… any of these that have already been printed are being put on a container ship bound for Africa tonight. Certainly it is a little unsettling, since everyone has been talking about Bush going #1 for so long. With the financial commitments to Domanick Davis and David Carr and a solid returner, [...]

“This stuff tends to happen the night before a draft. People get crazy.”
-Jerry Maguire
There's a lot of reports runnning around, Mario Williams at the one, Leinart could drop to at least 10, the Niners are looking to jump ahead of the Pack, Cutler is a middle first rounder… it's totally insane and I am loving [...]

If you haven't been keeping score, Newsday has been kicking posterior and taking both given names and surnames with their draft coverage… that is if you don't count the Leinart at #17 incident… everyone has skeletons in their closet.
Not only is the BergBlog blowing up, but you can download Bob Glauber and his dulcet tones [...]
