1st round...
LB is my first thought, simply because even though he keeps getting better with age, McGinist isn't getting any younger and with the move of Vrabel to Inside, I could see them going for an OLB.
Saftey might also be a choice, however that depends on how Harrison looks, they still have Eugene Wilson at one safey, I could see them more likely to take a vetran saftey via free agency.
CB is also possible, although Ellis Hobbs really stepped up this year and there is talk of Ty Law wanting to come back to finish with the Pats, Law had like 10 picks last year, but from what I've seen/heard had a horrible year. That being said, he played about 20lbs over his playing weight because he didn't have a full off-season due to injury... I'd take an in shape Ty Law and the Jets will probably cut him, because I think he gets a 10mil bonus?
So yeah, LB (probably OLB) would be my best guess for round #1.
Dark horse, DE, why? If they think they're going to have problems resigning Richard Seymor, they could go for a DE "just in case".
