Recco Report: The First Look



New York, NY (WFAN)  -- Got my first impressions of the Jets new rookie class this morning. Just in terms of attitude, Erik Ainge seems to be years ahead of everyone. Acts like an attorney more than a football player. Appears very confident and calculated. Thinks hard before he answers any question. Stands tall and is looking forward to the opportunity of competing.

The Jets first round selection Vernon Gholston is a big man. Also well spoken. He seemed more into talking today than he did on draft day. Almost as if, he was able to take a deep breath and now move forward. Can't wait to see him on the field this afternoon.

Dustin Keller, the tight end out of Purdue is looking forward to the opportunity of proving the naysayers wrong. He is obviously bothered by all the talk of him not being able to block. Keller says, he'll just have to show it on the field.

Marcus Henry the wide receiver out of Kansas seems to be a real nice kid. Almost too nice. Had a "golly-gee" type of attitude.

And Dwight Lowery is very confident. Talked about why he will be good at this level. Concedes that his foot speed isn't the greatest, but says he makes up for it with his football smarts.

Catch up with you after practice....JR

Recco Report: Jets Draft Recap
Well it may not have been very exciting in terms of the top six picks but overall I think the Jets had themselves a pretty solid draft. No, not a lot of drama with McFadden & Ryan off the board to the Raiders and Falcons, but really, who cares? 
Recco Report: NY Jets Draft Preview
Let's get one thing clear right off the bat. I do NOT think that picking Darren McFadden with the 6th overall selection is a bad move. However, if I was Mike Tannenbaum I wouldn't do it.
