The NFL Draft returns tonight for the second and third rounds. How active is Mike Tannenbaum usually trading his Draft picks? If they do not make a trade, this will mark the first time since 2006 the Jets make a selection in both the second and third rounds.

New York used an early pick on a pass rusher for the first time in the Rex Ryan Era last night. Will the team look to double up in a deep Draft for sack artists? Mike Tannenbaum double dipped early on the offensive line in that 2006 Draft and again on the defensive line last year. This might be the year the Jets try and bolster their pass rush for the next decade.

Plenty of other holes exist for Gang Green, however, including right tackle, safety, and wide receiver. They also might look at an inside linebacker if they are serious about sending Bart Scott packing as has been rumored all offseason.

Leave your thoughts below as the second night of the 2012 NFL Draft begins.
