Sixteen days until the draft, and here’s what I’m hearing about the Jets:
If they stay put at No. 6, they’ll probably get a shot at RB Darren McFadden or DE/LB Vernon Gholston. The Raiders (No. 4) hold the key. They’ve been linked to both players, but you never know what’s going to happen in the wacky world of Al Davis. The latest buzz is that he likes Gholston.
In my opinion, Gholston and McFadden are two of the most intriguing players in the draft. Both have so ...

Buzz: D-Rob Causing More Trouble
thejetsblog.com —
Dewayne Robertson has been everywhere for the Jets this offseason. We all know the stories, so I’m not going to readdress them here. Bottom line is, he shouldn’t be in a Jets uniform right now, and he still is. The Jets have tried many things to get rid of him, but the many flaws in D-Rob’s medical record are just too big of a risk to take for some teams.

The word in league circles is that the Raiders may have their eyes on Gholston, who has seen his stock in many mock drafts rise a great deal over the past few weeks.
