Matt Ryan is the next Ken O’Brien and would set the JETS back 10 years. DMC is the man.

Raiders will not take Long because of relationship with his Dad. Rams and Falcons won’t be taking Long either, so the only worry we have, if we want Long, is to beat the Chiefs to him by trading with Raiders. Why trade 6 to 2 when you can trade 6 to 4 at a cheaper price? I personally think that Long is the best pick for the Jets. He not only has the pedigree of great genes, but will prove to be even better than his dad, because he had the benefit of all of his experience. The heck with everyone else – - – Do what is necessary, and GET LONG

From what ive read around the internet and have heard on TV. If theyd be trading up to Pick 2 it would Be for Run DMC, not Matt Ryan. Theyve had RunDMC in for 2 more visits this week.

This definitely seems like a tactic, if Ryan slips past Atlanta, to put pressure on the Panthers and those other teams behind the Ravens that need/want a QB. Those teams need to believe that the Jets are seriously considering taking Ryan if the Jets are going to be able to trade down out of the 6 spot so another team can take Ryan. Otherwise, those non-Ravens teams wanting Ryan would just trade with Belicheat and save some value. A similar argument can be made for the ostentatious (for the Jets) way in which they have been showing their interest in McFadden.

if we get the second pick they’ll take either Chris Long or Darren McFadden in my opinion. DMC has visited the Jets several times in the last few weeks so I feel like they want to move in front of Oakland to ensure getting him. However, Chris Long is another probable Oakland pick so the Jets may look to steal him as well. I don’t think Dorsey is on their radar, however Gholston and Ryan are possibilities as well. But, I don’t think they’d go with one of those guys if the other two options are there. If the trade is made here is my Mock:

MIA – J Long
NYJ – DMC (or C Long)
ATL – Dorsey
OAK – C Long (or DMC)
KC – Ryan/Albert
STL – Gholston

wen i read this article i it sounds a little confusing and doesnt make any sense….i think if the jets traded up to the rams spot we would be taking chris long and not matt ryan…..and i think dorsey will fall to 6 to the rams…..that makes the most logical sense to me…. any one agree?

No one has mentioned the possibility of trading up only to trade back down. They’ve been throwing a lot of smoke up about Ryan, McFadden, Long and Gholston. Jumping up to two could throw some last-minute panic into draft rooms around the league and cause some GM to do something stupid to get back ahead of them. Wouldn’t put it past them.

They’re not trading up. Their strategy is to stockpile picks, not trade them away (last year notwithstanding – they won’t do what they did last year tow years in a row). Maybe Ryan will be good but I don’t see them pulling the trigger, spending the extra money and giving away the picks to find out.
