[01d 0rd3r]

Just announced on ESPN during the lsu game. Cromartie traded to the Jets for a 3rd round pick.

The Chargers traded CB Antonio Cromartie to the Jets for a conditional draft pick Thursday night, according to a league source.

The pick will be at lowest a third-round selection in 2011. It also could be a second-round pick in 2011 depending on Cromartie’s performance.

The Jets secondary is going to be rediculously good.

I agree, this give the jets IMO two of the three best cover corners in the game.

Man I wouldn't mind the Rams shopping some 2011 picks around.

Cromartie top 3 cover corner? alright. Getting lots of interceptions in 1 season doesn't make you a cover corner.

This is good for the Jets though and it definitely gives them the best corner tandem in the NFL. Cromartie could definitely have 10+ picks again with this defense and being opposite Revis who is a top 2 corner.

Getting lots of interceptions in 1 season doesn't make you a cover corner.

41 pass's defended in 3 years does.

Wow that secondary is scary now. I heard they cut Shephard as well. Is there a fit for him in STL? Insider says he could be expensive, do we give him a go?

Top 3 cornerbacks don't get dealt for only a 3rd round pick no matter what kind of off the field problems they have.

In 2008 QB's had a 94.1 passer rating and a 68.2 completion percentage on passes when they targeted Cromartie. He also gave up 704 yards on 60 reception to the receivers he was covering. Those are not the numbers of a top 3 cornerback, they are actually the numbers of one of the worst cornerbacks in the league. He had 1 great season but since then he has been anything but great.

I think Cromartie will bounce back in New York though. He won't have to cover the other team's number 1 receiver because of Darrell Revis and the Jets will always get good pressure on the QB which will help him a lot. He could end up getting more interceptions than he had in 2007 with this Jets defense because of the talent around him and his ball hawking skills.
