    Jets couldn?t ask for more with great draft
    Saints, Niners also picked well, while Bears, Bills, Bucs simply blow it

    The true grades for any draft can't be turned in until several years pass because some expected big names will flop and some players from whom little is expected will become value picks. But one thing that's sure is the New York Jets' new tandem of general manager Mike Tannenbaum and coach Eric Mangini thrived in their first draft.

    Picking fourth helps, of course. Tannenbaum and Mangini made choices to rebuild their team in the classic way ? adding the two top rated offensive linemen right away in Virginia tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Ohio State center Nick Mangold. That meant filling a need and ignoring the glamour pick in USC's Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Matt Leinart.

    And what's after getting the draft's two best offensive linemen? Get more depth on offense and defense.
