posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Player Contracts
All six draft picks are now under contract and will be in camp, as the New York Jets agreed on a deal with NT Kenrick Ellis. Ellis, 6'5", 345 lbs, was drafted to eventually replace retired NT Kris Jenkins. Many expected him to be drafted earlier but Ellis' legal problems put some teams off. The Gang Green, as it's been the case lately, took a chance and grabbed Ellis in the 3rd round (#94 overall).

The New York Jets have reportedly contacted OT Damien Woody, hoping to bring him back. Woody, who earlier stated that he would play either for the Gang Green or retire, suffered a torn achilles tendon in the playoffs against the Colts. He was then placed on injured reserve and later released. The Jets don't currently have a replacement for Woody, so bringing him back would be essential for the Jets O-line to remain one of the best in the league.

posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | NFL Draft
The New York Jets selected two more offensive players in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft. QB Greg McElroy from Alabama and WR Scotty McKnight from Colorado became last two players chosen by the Gang Green.
After selecting two defensive players on the first two days of the 2011 NFL Draft, the New York Jets went offense in rounds four and five. They selected RB Bilal Powell from Louisville in round 4 (#126 overall), and then traded up with Philadelphia to select WR Jeremy Kerley from TCU in round 5 (#153 overall). In order to get Kerley, the Gang Green gave up their 5th round pick (#161 overall) and 6th round pick (#194 overall) in exchange for the Eagles' 5th round pick (#153 overall) and 7th round pick (#227 overall).
The New York Jets continued rebuilding their defensive line on Day 2 of the 2011 NFL Draft, as they selected DT Kenrick Ellis from Hampton with their 3rd round pick (#94 overall). Ellis, 6'5", 346 lbs is a good run stopper who has the size to play nose tackle. He recorded 15 tackles for loss in both his senior and junior years.
The first round of the 2011 NFL Draft is behind us and it seems like general opinion of the Jets' pick, DE/DT Muhammad Wilkerson, has mostly been positive. The junior from Temple is expected to start from day one and add to one area where the Gang Green have struggled the last few years - pass-rush. Let's take a look at what various media outlets had to say about the Jets' first round selection.
The New York Jets selected DT Muhammad Wilkerson from Temple in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Wilkerson, 6'4", 315 lbs was projected to go late in the first round. He recorded 9.5 sacks in 12 games in 2010 and 7.0 sacks in 2009.

As soon as the 2009 NFL Draft concluded, the Jets, along with other NFL teams, rushed to grab the best undrafted talent. We've learned from various sourced that the Gang Green thus far have signed the following undrafted free agents:
The Gang Green used their last pick (#193 overall, 6th round) in the 2009 NFL Draft on OG Matt Slauson from Nebraska. Slauson, 6'5", 315 lbs is expected to be a backup who could potentially grow into a starting role.
The New York Jets continued dealing and wheeling on Day 2 of the 2009 NFL Draft as they traded their 3rd (#76 overall), 4th (#115 overall) and 7th (#228 overall) round picks in exchange for the Detroit Lions' 3rd round pick (#65 overall) to select RB Shonn Greene from the University of Iowa.
The New York Jets traded their #17 overall pick, their second round pick (#57 overall), DE Kenyon Coleman, S Abram Elam and QB Brett Ratliff for Cleveland Browns' #5 overall and selected QB Mark Sanchez from USC.
