Jets Pick Trade Details
Posted on April 27th, 2008 by Bassett
The details on the Jets trade were announced, the Jets gave up their fourth round selection (102) to Green Bay for their fourth rounder (113) and their 5th rounder (162) rounder for this year.
The fifth round pick is right at the end of the fifth …

They got 2 picks – #113 and #162 from the Pack
works for me..
Get me Nicks at 113!

I think the pick they got is the same one they traded to get Keller yesterday… so they got a good TE plus an extra pick in the end
seems like Tannenbaum has a lot of confidence dealing w/ CAR and GB
That gives us 2 4’s and 2 5’s right?
No just the one four and we added a fifth we did not have. So we have one in each of the last four rounds.
only 1 fourth
Dwight Lowrey?
dwight lowery out of san jose state is the pick, led ncaa is int’s.
Since we regained pick #113 that we’d originally received in the Vilma trade, the trade-up to grab Keller breaks down as follows:
NYJ
#30 – 620 pts
#162 – 27.6
Total = 647.6
GB
#36 – 540
#102 – 92
Total = 632
Jets profit = +15.6, or a around a high 7th rounder
Big, accomplished corner. I like it.
I think it said he led the NCAA in INTs in 2006…not 2007
Lowery is very athletic, with good size. He is an intuitive player and may have the best skill sets of any defensive back in this year’s draft class. He has uncanny field awareness and can stick with receivers. With very good hands for interceptions, he shows a second gear and also has good recovery speed (4.53-40). Lowery takes good angles and has the smarts and instincts to play zone coverage, he does not buy on play fakes. But he is a poor run supporter, needs to add strength and work on his tackling. Although he posses good speed, he did not show a real burst off the line.
Lowery may be the best cornerback in the draft. The only concerns are his perceived lack of explosiveness and the level of competition. He has first round talent, but it all depends upon how he does in the post season and the Combine.
I hate this move.
It is unlikely that any CB is likely to make a difference at this point in the draft. These players are so well screened that hips and speed are suspect to still be around.
On the other hand, Beau Bell better really s_ck. We needed an ILB. He was there. He was taken by another 3-4 team. Traditionally, it is easier to find guards, tackles and ILBs at this point in the draft or interesting QBs such as the one the Pats took.
Very disappointing second day.
Yuck!

Left off the site I got that from: FFToolbox
What about Will Franklin? Without a speed receiver Clemens is as easy to defend as Pennington.
The Jets needed depth at CB, so this pick makes sense, I trust Mangini in drafting good CB’s. But with the picks they have left they need depth at ILB and OL. All in all a pretty good draft so far.
Harlan, considering the jets recent history of CB/S picks in the 4th and 5th round contributing in their rookie years (e. smith, e. coleman, k. rhodes) and manginis penchant for developing secondary players, you are dead wrong in thinking this pick cant contribute, even right away
d. coleman too, I knew I left out someone recent
I love Dustin Keller. He was the top TE and a playmaker; But I think we could have draft him at 36. I do not see how the Giants would have draft him and sent Suckey to New Orleans. The only team that could have jumped infront of us to get him was Seattle.
Lowery is also a good CB, but by sacrificing the fourth rounder we had to gamble on Bell or Branch. Oakland and Cleveland did it to us.
Now let’s hope we can get some good players in the later rounds. Priority, ILB , OL, S.
Harlan, you haven’t liked anything so far. What’s up with that?
this cb is big with good hands harlan you may grow to like this kid later you always have to like a playmaker!
Nickolas,
From what I’ve read, heard and understand, the Giants were in serious negotiations with the Saints to trade Shockey for 2nd and 5th round picks. The Giants didn’t think it was enough, and broke off talks Friday afternoon. The talks resumed again yesterday at around the 25th pick when the Saints upped the offer to 2nd and 4th round picks, the Giants were going to accept but wait until their pick at 32 to select Keller as a pass catching replacement for Shockey, but the Jets caught wind of it and jumped in front of them to snag Keller for themselves. Nice move!
Harlan,
Really, you have hated every pick? Whats your problem?
We should stock up on OL for the rest of the picks.
Harlan, i disagree with almost everything you say.
Ramble914 please reread what I wrote.
Gholston: We were stuck. All the top talent was off the board except for Gholston and no one offered enough to move up. I think the Pats trade down saved them very little money, may have cost them a better LB (Rivers vs Mayo), all for a #3 less a #5. I am the one who documented that Gholston was not a player whose stock rose precipitously as a result of great combine workouts. His rating and ranking did not significantly change so while inconsistent, he was not a reach.
Keller: While I hate the idea of giving up an early 4th round pick (because as others have pointed up we have done well in this round even in less well stocked drafts,) I am the one who pointed out that 1) there was no WR on the board worth taking and that 2) he was not a reach and if he performed as well as Dallas Clark we would all think it a great move. Remembering our TE fiascos does not mean one hates every pick. It just means all one’s brain cells have not died.
AFAIK, Rhodes is a S, not a CB. There is no CB chosen in rounds 4 or 5 in my recent memory (unfortunately, a lot of brain cells have died) who has started and excelled for this team in quite a while. A S might have been a good pick too. As with ILBs, some speed can be sacrificed for being in the right place at the right time and hitting hard. I stand by my belief that this part of the draft has values in players from small schools, changing position or at positions not requiring as much speed (OG, ILB, S).
And Mike, I guess that means you think Gholston was a workout wonder and is not a good football player, there was a WR we should have taken instead of Keller, we should have traded back for less than a third round pick in the first round, etc. Frankly, if Bent, Bassett, R or others who have repeatedly posted brilliantly wrote that they disagree with almost everything I say, I would be saddened. In your case, I suspect it just means you like being wrong.

Dont forget that the Seattle Seahawks took a TE just a few picks later so if it wasn’t the Giants then I’m sure the Seahawks would have jumped in.
