okay, this is tonight's biggest news. the jets have been trying to run a 3-4 with a ton of 4-3 personnel, and it hasn't worked... at all. the #1 they used on a DT is a bust, and they desperately need a nose tackle, which they probably aren't going to find in the draft when they pick... so they need a name or good luck on a lower round pick, and the safer route is obviously more appealing, since they missed badly last time.

meanwhile, the dolphins getting rogers would mean they're looking at either ryan, long, or long... i don't think they have enough to make ryan successful yet, so i'd bet on one of the longs. jason taylor, long, rogers would be crazy, and honestly locks at DE are harder to find. the other long (OT) is VERY safe too... outside chance at mcfadden, but peterson was much better and the guy they got aint bad, so i'm kinda doubting that idea.

I guess signing AND drafting a DT might happen, but traylor (DT) and roth (DE) are the guys that needed to be replaced yesterday.

they'll probably try to sign a WR like berrian and draft a QB like henne or flacco in the top of the 2nd round (one or both should be available).
