NFL Draft this weekend

The NFL draft is upon us once again. The Jets - beloved in the way you love how sports are 1% glory and 99% kicks to the groin - hold the 6th pick. Normally, a fan would be pretty excited about the possibilities of drafting that high. But the Jets are no normal organization. While they have been competitive in the last decade - in fact, very good most years between 1998 and 2006 - the Jets have certainly made their share of historically bad draft picks.

I don't want to get too in-depth about what players are available, and which ones they should pick...but I do think their biggest need is a premiere, pass-rushing defensive lineman. That is, of course, unless the Troll from Pigskin Footbrawl is still on the board. Pretty unlikely though; the Troll is a perfect fit for the Raiders at #4.

For me, the perfect draft would be this: The Jets miss their 6th pick because they let the clock run out, and are penalized two spots and move down to 8th, at which point they select someone who was already picked. Then they regroup and trade the 8th pick for a retired Warren Sapp. They would never have the draft in NYC again, because the city would be destroyed.

I also enjoy how the Jets are looking at a QB. Thanks for the memories, Clemens!

Also, that is one of my favorite sports-related youtube clips ever. Thanks for posting it!
