1st Round Selections Galore on Jets' Roster


With the explosive offseason we've been having so far, a few Jets Tweeps have been wondering about just how much 1st round talent we've got on our roster at this point. Everyone's listed after the break.

Antonio Cromartie (19th overall - 2006)
Braylon Edwards (3rd overall - 2005)
Shaun Ellis (12th overall - 2000)
Alan Faneca (26th overall - 1998)
D'Brickashaw Ferguson (4th overall - 2006)
Vernon Gholston (6th overall - 2008)
Santonio Holmes (25th overall - 2006)
Dustin Keller (30th overall - 2008)
Nick Mangold (29th overall - 2006)
Calvin Pace (18th overall - 2003)
Darrelle Revis (14th overall - 2007)
Mark Sanchez (5th overall - 2009)
Bryan Thomas (22nd overall - 2002)
LaDanian Tomlinson (5th overall - 2001)
Damien Woody (17th overall - 1999)

That makes 15 by my count (14 if you subtract Gholston), and that's not counting the players who will be drafted next week nor the ones who may come in other trades in free agency. I'm too lazy to check all the other teams as well, but I'd be surprised if our team wasn't at the top of the list in terms of 1st rounders on the roster.

Other players of note:

Jerricho Cotchery (108th overall - 2004)
Shonn Greene (65th overall - 2009)
Brodney Pool (34th overall - 2005)
Sione Pouha (88th overall - 2005)
Tony Richardson (UDFA - 1994)
Bart Scott (UDFA - 2002)
Leon Washington (117th overall - 2006)
