04/26 — It's only 10 minutes per first-round pick in this year's draft, but the Green & White used nine-plus minutes before making their choice with the No. 6 pick. Once the boos for "New England is on the clock," Commissioner Goodell came to the podium at Radio City Music Hall and announced, "OK, Jets fans..." When Goodell announced Vernon Gholston of Ohio State as the Jets' choice, the draftnik mezzanine erupted, but in a good way. And soon some chants broke out: "VER-non GHOL-ston!" Thus the Jets accomplished everything with one pick. They added the player many draft experts had linked them with for the last several months. They took a potential top pass rusher for the defense they've been building with the additions of LB Calvin Pace and DT Kris Jenkins. They kept Gholston away from the Patriots. And with Gholston and his family having just left the stage to do the multitude of media stops fopr the rest of this day, it was just announced that the Pats traded their No. 7 pick to New Orleans. I'll report back when I catch up with Gholston, either at SNY's next-door studios or at the Jets draft day party at Dave & Buster's in Times Square.
