Given their relative contributions to the Jets the last two years, it's hard to write Geno Smith and Muhammad Wilkerson in the same sentence.

With the No. 6 overall selection, a potential impact player will be available. The question is whether the Jets will stay put at that spot. And, if they do, who's the pick? A quarterback? A pass rusher? A wide receiver?
A swap with Tennessee would ensure one of the top two quarterbacks in the draft, likely reigning Heisman winner Marcus Mariota.
As far as Geno Smith is concerned, it's going to take a lot more than a few draft rumors and a veteran coming off a major injury to take his job away.
Wide receiver was an obvious need for the Jets heading into the offseason, and new general manager Mike Maccagnan didn't waste any time making sure it was addressed. But is he done?
Jace Amaro took the high road when asked if he's looking forward to the two games against Rex and the Buffalo Bills.
"You know what? I think I'm better than I was before, when I played earlier in my career," Revis said. "I think I'm way more intelligent in the position. I had a great learning experience last year."
During a press conference in December, Jets owner Woody Johnson said that he'd "love to have Darrelle back."
ESPN reports that more teams are expected to call general manager Mike Maccagnan about Wilkerson's availability when the draft kicks off on Thursday night.
