Jets made good trade

[RamziD]

They get their franchise QB and only give up a 1st and 2nd this year. Elam, Ratliff, and Coleman combined are barely worth a 4th round pick.

That was a very good deal for the Jets.

I guess the Brownies wanted no part of paying a rookie top ten money.

 

[RamziD]

Cleveland potentially made a good trade, too. They could trade #17 and their 3rd to move up to #12 and draft either Crabtree or Maclin. They would still have 2 second round picks, also.

I'd think Mangini knew something about the players just traded to the Browns.

Possibly. Honestly, though, would you have traded anything more than a 6th or 7th rounder for anyone of those players individually (Coleman, Elam, Ratliff)?

Possibly? We was the Jets HC last year! I'd think he'd know their value.

I'm sure he does.

But player value is very low around draft time, especially during the event itself.

The Jets just jumped from 17th to 4th at a bargain price.

Teams typically have to pay a heavy ransom to make such a jump.

We'll see. My prediction is those 3 players will do exactly what they did last year...next to nothing. Coaches can make bad decisions, too.

I agree, but the cost of signing a top 5 player has lowered the value of picks a team can get for trading down out of the top 5.

The NFL and the NFLPA have got to get a rookie salary scale in the next CBA.

It is just madness handing over that kind of guaranteed money in the top ten.

Agreed. I think Stephen or Jerry hinted as much.

You mean a guy will bring players that used to play for him to his new team because he knows a thing or two may help him in some way?

What a concept!

(Browns take Rey Maualuga, LB, USC@ 17)

I think the Jets made a GREAT trade.

maybe i should have said most, i just hadn't seen anyone actually criticize the jets, and to me they overpaid for Sanchez

LOL. Coming from a 'Skins fan, this is rich.

I guess they're glad they didn't sign Austin.

Yep - borderline steal.
