When Eric Mangini was hired as Jets skipper prior to the 2006 season, he brought along a 3-4 scheme that stunted the growth of emerging talents Jonathan Vilma and Dewayne Robertson. Fans were thrilled with Mangini’s first draft, which promised to fortify the offensive trenches with the selection of two first-round O-linemen. They’ve disappointed thus far. However, the outstanding rookie campaigns of the two defenders the Jets traded up for in the 2007 draft show that, just maybe, Mangini has the ability to eyeball talent.
