The New York Jets proved last April that less is more

Blogged under Bloglockers, The Draft Report, Front Page, General by admin on Saturday 12 April 2008 at 5:12 pm

The Jets kept making trades to move up in the draft last season and when it was over they only added 4 players, but two of them could be future Pro Bowlers.  CB Darrelle Revis was the first round pick of the Jets.  He played in 16 games (all starts) for the Jets last season and he made 87 tackles, forced a fumble, defensed 17 passes and intercepted three passes.  Inside linebacker David Harris was the 2nd round pick of the Jets and he was one of the best backers in the NFL when the Jets inserted him into the starting lineup.  Harris played in 16 games (9 starts) for the Jets last season and he made 126 tackles, had 5 sacks, forced 2 fumbles and defensed 3 passes.  Last year was just the tip of the iceberg for the Jets as Harris will be one of the best linebackers in the NFL for a long, long time.  OT Jacob Bender was the 6th round pick of the Jets and he played in 2 games (0 starts).  He has the look of a career backup for the Jets.  WR Chansi Stuckey spent all of his rookie season on the Injured Reserve List.

GRADE FOR THE 2007 SEASON:  A
