POTENTIALLY.. and neither are top 10, top 15 picks, which means that potential is even less likely.
Nobody knows what they will do. On the other hand, there's an existing book on Austin and what he can do.
An existing book of all of 18 catches, mutliple injuries, in 3 years in the league for an UDFA WR. I'm sure that the potential, of some of the guys projected in the second, are just as good as that.

I think he might wheel n deal to get that 17th pick using Austin..Don't ask me how, but I'm sure he wants that first back. I'd do it in a heartbeat.
He wants it, I'm sure, but any team giving up a 1st rounder for Austin, the UDFA with a career tally of all of 18 catches, would have to be ran by guys who are complete idiots. Only a completely ignorant moron would give up a first rounder for Miles Austin at this point. Now if his career tally was something like 250+ catches in 3 years then a 1st rounder wouldn't sound so stupid.

Miles Austin + Tashard Choice for the 17th pick.
Take it or leave it Jetsons...otherwise we match!
How do you like them apples?
You spoiled the bunch with that package.

Harvin is off our Draft board. He's one of 3 completely removed and no chance we would take.
Ahhh...I didn't know, when I responded to that thread 5 days ago, what in the box meant.
This thread has been hilarious and troubling all at the same time.
First let me say that I like Austin, and his potential, a lot. I really do. I think the guy is a good guy and might one day be something special. However his potential to be a quality #2 WR, at this point, isn't any better than a guy like Nicks, or Brey, or Britt who are far more polished WR's coming out of college than Austin is. They're coming out of college at the same level, probably higher, in skill set at WR as Austin who has taken 3 years to get there cause of being an UDFA and playing at a much smaller school.
If the Jets want to give up a 2nd round pick for a guy who wasn't drafted and has all of 18 career receptions that's ok with me. I'd gladly use their pick to move up just a bit in the second round and snag any of the guys at WR like Nicks, Brey, Britt, etc that would be in that area. I'd be willing to say right now that I believe they'd give us at least 20 catches in their rookie year, as well.
I really like Austin, a lot, but if someone wants to give me a 2nd rounder for a kid whose not proven a whole lot in his 3 years, other than he can flash some brilliance at times but spends a lot of time on the injuried list as well, then I'm not going to be overly hurt by it.
