I led with the addition of Tennessee QB Erik Ainge in today’s Journal News, story here.
IMHO, it’s a little too early to call winners and losers in this draft, but ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. gets to break the rules. He gives the Jets a B- and here is his reasoning:
“New York Jets: GRADE: B-
Lining up opposite Calvin Pace, OLB Vernon Gholston has a chance to get a lot of sacks in his rookie season. Tight end Dustin Keller can be used in a lot of different ways and will give the passing game some much-needed juice. Dwight Lowery had a great junior season at corner for San Jose state, but his grade tailed off as a senior. Erik Ainge does not have that wow factor you like to see in a quarterback, but he has great pocket awareness. And he has the ability to make throws when he’s outside the pocket. Ainge has a little bit of that “it” factor. Kansas wide receiver Marcus Henry does not have a lot of speed and doesn’t separate well, but he caught the ball very effectively. I liked the Jets’ picks, but I thought they would have taken wide receiver a bit earlier in the draft.”

Jane…is there any word on FA signings other than Woodhead. The NY Jets website is locked on Saturdays news.
