http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/2844 Recent articles about Justin Miller en-us New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini took the reins of a team that had produced a 4-12 mark in 2005. Quickly making a significant difference, Mangini guided the Jets to an impressive 10-6 mark and a Wild Card playoff spot last season. More impressive is the fact that the Jets are a young team that plays sound in all 3 phases of the game. The Jets' roster features four Pro Bowl performers in wide receiver Laveranues Coles, defensive end Shaun Ellis, inside linebacker Jonathan Vilma and right safety Justin Miller. This group doesn't include S Kerry Rhodes, one of the emerging stars in the NFL. Almost half of the Jets' starting lineup is made up of first-round choices. This elite group includes 4 on offense: left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, center Nick Mangold, quarterback Chad Pennington and running back Thomas Jones, who teams with running back Leon Washington to give New York one of the best 1-2 backfield punches in the NFL. Three of the four starters on the defensive line were selected in the first round. Those players include Ellis, nose tackle Dewayne Robertson and defensive end and outside linebacker Bryan Thomas.

Somewhere in the article you read "but of course the true winners and losers of this draft will not be determined until several years have passed". Draft Tek has taken it upon themselves to review the drafts of previous years, and assign each team a score. Currently, they're about 70% complete with the 2005 draft. The scoring system is unique, but certain to elicit a few naysayers. If you are one, you can still impress your friends with plenty of "Whatever happened to . . . " trivia from their research. Draft Tek's scoring system attempts to measure how successful a given team is at evaluating (and drafting) talent. Anybody can find starter quality players in the first round. Right Lion fans?? It is for this reason Draft Tek rewards teams for drafting serviceable players in the later rounds moreso than the day 1 elite. A team that consistently gets 4 or 5 contributors from each draft is in much better financial shape than those teams that are annually playing free agent roulette. In theory, this leads to long term competitiveness. The 2005 New York Jets draft class was reviewed recently. Of the 22 teams scored to date, the Jets are fifth highest, which is interesting in that they did not have a first round selection in 2005 to bank points with. The Draft Tek system forced them to award points to recent quitter Cedric Houston, from whom the Jets got decent production for their 6th round investment. But even if those points were removed points from the total score, the Jets would still have a total in the upper half. Taking Houston (Cedric) out of the equation, there are currently 3 players (of 8 drafted) from the 2005 draft that are classified as producers. If Sione Pouha can recover from injury and move into the DL rotation, he would be a 4th.
