The Jets traded up three spots, from the #6 overall to the Colt's #3 overall. Here's what they gave up:
Their own #6 overall and two second rounders, the #37 overall and the #49 overall, the pick they acquired from us for Sheldon Richardson.
They are obviously after one of the top 3 quarterbacks but there was a really good chance that one of them would have been there anyway. Of the teams ahead of them, the Browns have two of the 5 picks, the Colts aren't in the market, and the Broncos just got through signing Case Keenum. Obviously the Broncos may have wanted to take a top 3 QB anyway, but that sure seems like a high price to pay for essentially one slot at best and completely unnecessary at worst.
