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).
