The Hazean is hosting a mock draft, and we're bravely taking on the role of the Mangenius in this one. The Jets are one of those teams that has so many different needs, I think it's almost pointless for them to target any specific position. They can use the help all over the field. The defense, though, was even more pathetic than the offense, so my instinct is to go for the best defensive player available when the #6 pick comes up. Chris Long would be the best-case scenario since he's got the most experience in a 3-4. Vernon Gholston's been jumping up draft boards lately and Mel Kiper's got him as the Jets' first-round pick on his mock draft. Sedrick Ellis and Glenn Dorsey are the other obvious names here, but I highly doubt that Dorsey will fall to #6, and Ellis isn't a great fit in a 3-4 (though I read things like this and wonder if it matters).

And I REALLY wish it wasn't against those damned Giants! While the Patriots have one more game to go to become the first 19-0 team of all time, unfortunately it has to be against the team that came the closest to beating them last and a team that has beaten the Cowboys and Packers, back to back. I'll also admit that while I don't really like Philip Rivers (and the Chargers as a team overall after all the whining they've done the past few times the Patriots have beaten them), I like Eli Manning even less after all that sheisty business that the Manning family did during the 2004 NFL draft and would love to see him lose. Of course I'd also love to see the Patriots win another Superbowl! So I hope everyone has bought a "Free Randy" shirt by now and is rocking it next Sunday when the Patriots dominate the Giants.

Honestly, could things have worked out any better for the Patriots this weekend? First of all, they win their own game against a tough Jacksonville team, but then the Colts lose to the Chargers! The even better part about that is that the Colts didn't go down without a fight. In fact, they injured Philip Rivers and LaDainian Tomlinson. If these two guys are still hampered by injury this coming weekend, I have to predict a similar outcome to the week 2 matchup when the Patriots put a hurting on the Chargers, 38-14.

...and I'm already sick of all the Tony Soprano jokes we're going to be treated to by Boomer, Kornheiser, and that greasy moron who arbitrarily pushes buttons on Around the Horn. Why, you ask, are we going to be hearing so many jokes involving Tony Soprano and the excellent HBO drama named after his fictional family?
