With the 29th pick, the New York Jets select:
Bobby Carpenter OLB, Ohio St
The Jets once again go with defense, even with the shortcomings on offense, but Carpenter is too good of a player to pass up. The Jets are going to use the 3-4, and a front seven of Mario Williams, Carpenter, Vilma, Barton, Hobson, Oelhoffen, and Ellis should cause major mayhem for opposing teams. Carpenter fits in perfectly as an outside linebacker in the 3-4, with some size and speed.
