I thought that the 5th round pick was conditional. That's what all the news outlets were saying when the trade went down.

Fuk the draft. We need free agency

All we will get with a draft is another year of rebuilding

To stay competitive in this league, you NEED a combination both the draft AND free agency. I don't understand why people don't get this... It's actually proven... all free agency and no draft leaves us short of money and no future prospects... all draft leaves us with a bunch of prospects and no talent or leadership... You have to use both.

One other thing... the NFL is set up so teams can turn it around and be very competitive in 1-2 years... ex: dolphins, falcons, etc.. if a team is unable to turn it around in two years tops... then something is wrong.. most likely coaching/front office.. period. If you say, "lack of talent"... this is also directly reflected by coaching unable to develop players AND/OR the inability to get the correct players in place. This is NOT the NFL of 40 years ago... heck.. even 20 years ago...

I think K2 is happy though. Even with a losing record he is still the "go to guy" and in a warmer climate. He is happy Im sure

I kinda liked Phil. He was better than what we just had. But really how could you hate a guy that got us Donte Stallworth?

Here is how it works.

The Winslow deal is set....we have a 5th this year...that won't change.

I have a little reservation here, so if it is conditional, it might move up one, but i don't think so...just plan on a 5th.

The Edwards deal is conditional because of this....the prior year the Jets traded with the Eagles for Lito Sheppard. They are scheduled to give up a 3rd or a 2nd depending on the conditions of that deal.

So, what Edwards does doesn't really matter. The Sheppard deal is the key. If the Jets have to give up a 2nd for Lito, we get the 3rd as the jets don't have another 2nd to give. If the Jets have to give up the 3rd for Sheppard, then we get the 2nd as they didn't have another 3rd at the time of the trade.

If you are going to watch anybody, watch Sheppard...and hope he doesn't do well enough to kick in the 2nd round condition, whatever that might be.
