Jets make potentially assy move, get new QB

So after the disaster that was Brett Favre this year, the Jets have decided to try a new tactic: instead of creating an overpriced team of old guys, they're going to draft a team of new guys. To whit: yesterday they traded away 2 players, 2 draft picks, and maybe even a couple of kitchen sinks to get the Cleveland Browns' pick, thus assuring themselves of snatching Mark Sanchez of USC.

Will it work? Who knows.

However, as Dan Wetzel points out, 'Sanchez may be popular, but that doesn’t get you past the Patriots.'

Also, it's not too often that a QB comes in straight from the draft and succeeds (Matt Ryan with Atlanta being the exception this past season and of course Tom Brady, but he was never intended as the starter). So, as usual, good luck with all that, Jets.
