QB selected 13th by Jets

FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY -- The debate was fiery in the New York Jets draft room today. With the 13th overall selection in the 2009 draft, after trading down from the 10th overall selection, the Jets faced a major dilemma. Dane Morrow, who had been compared to Dan Marino by draft experts, or Kelly James, who had been compared to Jim Kelly. The superior prospect, Jack English, had been taken first overall by the Baltimore Ravens.

With little time left on the clock, the Jets sent in their card. The name inside the card was Dane Morrow, QB, Penn State. Kellen Clemens was getting the job done very nicely for the Jets, but they didn't feel that he should be a major part of their future. Coach John Daniels inherited the previous administration's future QB and unsurprisingly wanted his own guy.

New York Jets other draft picks:

2nd round: Alonzi Simms, MLB, Michigan St.
3rd round: Prince Justin, FS, S. Carolina
4th round: Steve Jones, LE, Maine
5th round: LeRon James, HB, N. Arizona
6th round: Derek Page, LG, Virginia
6th round: Sammy Roberts, RE, SE Missouri St.
6th round: Travis Redmond, LOLB, USC
7th round: Jaret Hester, CB, San Jose St.

Sad to see the season simmed but I'm interested to see how this season will unfold. Surprising to see a QB taken in the first round especially after the season Kellen had. I feel though that Morrow will certainly be a solid QB for years to come.

People want to know if Morrow will be the starter or if he's going to sit...haha!

I have a feeling that James is going to turn into a beast!!!
