I'm sorry, I would never put Aaron Curry and Ray Lewis in the same sentence.

He WAS selected 6th overall, so regardless of the forum members opinions, the one that counted felt he was worthy of a Top Ten selection. Personally, I think the Jets organization was so out of whack with the Brett Favre drama that the Jets actually underperformed across the board. They needed an organizational change (and should have dumped their GM as well). I have no vested interest whatsoever in Gholston but if anyone can help him to become a stellar defensive player, it's Rex Ryan.

And they still won the division AND beat the 12-4 Colts without the services of Merriman & LT.
And some people here think the division is up for grabs in 2009.
