The New York Jets have just traded Leon Washington and their seventh-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks for a fifth-round pick. Gang Green selected FB John Connor with that pick.
Mancini's Take: Seattle has just absolutely killed it in this draft...and I mean that in a good way. They hit home runs with potential All-Pro players Russell Okung and Earl Thomas, while Golden Tate and Kam Chancellor are tremendous athletes that can both flourish if used properly. Trading for Leon Washington is just the icing on the cake. The former Jet is coming off a gruesome leg injury, but can be a multi-purpose game breaker when he's healthy. Julius Jones seems to be the odd-man out with the additions of Washington and Lendale White. As for the Jets, their draft is over. Based on what they've done in the past three days, they should continue to feature one of the most potent running games in the league. Their latest pick John Connor is a nuts-and-bolts blocking back, who's not only a nasty run blocker, but can hold his own in pass protection.
