Jane McManus tweets the news about Jets Draft position.

The Jets will have the 16th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

We will obviously have more about this as we get deeper into this young offseason. David Wyatt already has a mock up for the Jets. This team has plenty of needs. It will be interesting to see how the team addresses them in free agency. There is a lot unknown at this point.

It is clearly earlier than the Jets have picked the last two years after consecutive trips to the AFC Championship Game. If you remember, the Jets held the 17th pick in the Draft two years ago that allowed them to package a trade up to the 5th pick for Mark Sanchez. That could come into play if Florio's rumor about the Jets not being sold on Sanchez is true.
