The New York Jets made the biggest splash of the 2009 NFL draft by trading up from pick 17 to pick 5 to get USC quarterback Mark Sanchez.
This is HUGE. Sanchez has skillz, a strong arm, big game potential, class act, intelligence, and charisma.

Needing a quarterback, the Jets landed the top QB in the entire draft. And they gave up so little to make it happen. They swapped first round picks, gave up the 2nd round pick, and gave the Cleveland Browns 3 defensive players. None of those 3 defensive players were going to be starters.
Meanwhile, the suddenly rebounded New York Mets pasted the hapless Washington Nationals 8-2. The Nat’s couldn’t field, couldn’t hit, and to nobody’s surprise couldn’t pitch.
Beltran had 3 hits and leads the National League in batting average. Ryan Church came alive with a few RBI’s.
And most importantly, Mike Pelfrey had an outing that will secure his spot in the rotation… for the time being.
