SNY quoted KC management that both the Jets and Pats talked to them about moving up to pick Ghoulston. Sounds like the Jets were pretty focused on Ghoulston.

Myers (an idiot with no integrity) and Cimini trash the Jets draft. But imagine if the Pats had moved to 5 and taken Ghoulston. The Newsies would be frothing at the mouth.

As I remember, they didn’t like last year’s moves either. If we end up with another Revis and Harris, we’ll all be ecstatic.

I can’t stand Gary Myers (aka Frog Face). He never passes up an opportunity to rip the Jets.

Drob should get 65% of playing time as he should excel in the 4-3. If he is playing great, why would Denver take him out of the lineup, I think they would care more about winning than giving up a 3rd rounder to the Jets.

Gary Myers insight and reporting is incredible, if it werent for reporters like him where would we get stories like that from. (being sarcastic of course)

And by the way, wasn’t Jake Long #1 on the Rams board. I guess they really screwed up by picking Chris Long.

None of this matters now because Gholston WAS the pick. This kind of analysis is always silly. Unless you have the #1 pick in the whole draft, you can’t control your own destiny. I’m sure every team in the league had Chris Long #1 or #2 on their board. With the exception of the Rams, everybody had to pick someone else. What does that prove? The Jets had the 6th pick. They got the best AVAILABLE player who is also someone who happens to fit one of their biggest needs. What else is a team supposed to do?

The Jets perform due diligence with the Rams at 2 and get raked over the goals as if they whiffed on the guy they really wanted. They picked at 6. Everybody’s draft board had C. Long, McFadden, and Gholston in that order. Nice work, Sherlock.
