History of Jets' Blockbuster Draft Trades

The Jets' tradeup today to get Indianapolis' third overall pick in the 2018 draft is more than just a big deal in terms of the coming draft. It's one of the most noteworthy trades in franchise history, on several fronts.

With the Jets sending the Colts their sixth pick, plus their two second-round choices in this draft, plus their Round 2 pick next year, it's the most draft picks the Jets have yielded in a single trade.

They did give up more picks and players combined in a trade. That in fact was their last blockbuster first-round deal in 2009 with Cleveland, when they sent two picks and three players to the Browns for their No.
