The Jets took quarterback Mark Sanchez.
2011: General Manager Tom Heckert had the sixth pick in 2011 and traded it to the Falcons, which they used on wide receiver Julio Jones. The Browns got the Falcons' 27th pick, 59th (Greg Little) and 124th (fullback Owen Marecic) in 2011 plus the Falcons' first-round and fourth-round picks in 2012. Heckert then traded the 27th pick and a third-round pick (70th) to the Chiefs for the 21st pick, which he used on defensive tackle Phil Taylor. Quarterback Brandon Weeden was drafted (22nd) with the first-round pick acquired from the Falcons.
2012: Heckert traded up one pick for Trent Richardson last year, giving the Vikings the fourth pick overall plus the 2012 fourth-round pick acquired from Atlanta in 2011 (118), a fifth-round pick (129) and a seventh-round (211)."...
