There will be a new QB on the block in the AFC East, as the New York Jets traded up from number 17 to number 5 to acquire former USC quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Old friend Eric Mangini, now with the Browns, made the trade with his former team. But unlike other such trades when mostly just a boatload of draft picks change hands, New York gave up some players as well -- sent to Cleveland are DE Kenyon Coleman, QB Brett Ratliff and DB Abram Elam. They are in addition to the Browns getting the Jets' original first-round pick, at number 17, and a second-round pick, number 52.

The Jets fans at Radio City Music Hall seemed to have a mixed reaction to the choice of Sanchez.
