Jets Trade Up, Draft Dustin Keller

The New York Jets sent a 2nd and 4th round picks to the Green Bay Packers to move back into the 1st round.

The Jets used the 29th pick on Purdue h-back Dustin Keller, a converted wide receiver who may or may not have seen a blocking sled during his career.

Keller enjoyed a meteoric rise up NFL draft boards after a scintillating workout at the Combine in February, and supplanted USC's Fred Davis as the top tight end in the minds of many draftniks. Keller is useless playing on the line, and I expect the Jets to use him much in the same manner as Indianapolis uses Dallas Clark.
