I'm in!!! Ready to make history as one of the first women GM's!!!
Good stuff but you can't actually do both of these together. If you sign a RFA, you need to have your original pick or better from the round in question. Otherwise, every team would trade all the way down to the bottom of the first round before signing RFAs.

If I was the Jets General Manager... here's what I would do!
It's 1/13/15 I have just been appointed as the Jets General Manager. I inherited a top 10 draft pick going into the 2015 draft and I have a lot of cap space to work with. Our fans, players, and coaches deserve the best and I plan on building a solid team by finding players that help will build the success for the New York Jets.
Certain areas in this organization have to be in tact for now. We have very little time and we do not have the time to completely clean house the scouting department or front office, because of that I have decided to keep the following personal the training staff, security, pro-player personnel and the scouting dept. They have all put in a lot of hard work leading up to the draft and I will make my decision after the draft whether or not I will keep them.
It's February 2015
During this press conference I will discuss who we hired as head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator.
I am proud to announce the following additions to the Jets coaching staff. First, our new head coach is Dan Quinn. Quinn is a former defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks and has worked for the New York Jets from 2007-2008 as a defensive line coach.
For Offensive Coordinator, Quinn and I have decided to hire Kyle Shanahan. Kyle is a former offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. He also has experience as a wide receiver coach and quarterback coach working for the Houston Texans. He's also has experience playing as a former football player in Texas and we believe he can add new and innovated scheme to help our offense going forward.
For Defensive Coordinator, We decided to promote Karl Dunbar from Defensive line coach to defensive coordinator. Dunbar has done an outstanding job developing our players on our D-line. He's a talented coach that deserved this promotion. He is responsible for developing Damon Harrison, Muhammad Wilkerson, and Sheldon Richardson to name a few.
March, 2015
Our free agent press conference where we discuss our off season plans and our plans going forward going into free agency. We made some significant moves such as signing players as well releasing players that will impact our roster going forward.
First, we have decided to pick up Quinton Coples's 5th year option on his contract. Coples is a talented player who we feel will be a key player for a defense going forward.
We have approximately 50 million dollars of cap space going forward. I made some important releases and I have decided to release the following players: Percy Harvin, Jason Babin, and Chris Johnson. Which will free up around an extra 15 Million dollars going forward. That leaves us with 65 Million cap space at our disposal. Since we released Harvin we will not have a 6th round pick going into the 2015 draft. Our 6th round pick now belongs to the Seattle Seahawks.
To address our weakness at offensive line we have signed Mike Lupati, G from the 49ers to a 4 year contract. As for our secondary we have signed Brandon Flowers, CB from the San Diego Chargers to a 2 year contract and we have also signed Kareem Jackson, CB from the Houston Texans to a 4 year contract. We have also came to terms with wide receiver Cecil Shorts to a 3 year contract and QB Ryan Mallet to a 2 year contract.
As for our own free agents we have decided to address Wilkerson's contract at the end of the year. His contract will count for 8 million against the cap this season. We have decided to re-sign the following to contracts going forward.
David Harris, ILB
Dawan Landry, S
Bilal Powell, RB
Ledger Douzable, DE
Kendrick Ellis, DT
Damon Harrison, DT
Jaiquawn Jarrett, S
Tanner Pardum, LS
Greg Salas, WR

Welcome to my first draft as the Jets general manager. I have drafted players who I feel will make a big contribution going forward. You will notice I have two first round picks. I traded our 6th overall pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for their two first round picks in order for them to move up. We now have two first round picks, since the Cleveland Browns have agreed to give us their two number 1's in order to move up.
Here is a final tally of my draft:
Round 1 Pick 14 La'el Collins, OL - LSU
Round 1 Pick 18 Vic Beasley OLB/DE - Clemson
Round 2 Pick 37 Nelson Agholor, WR- USC
Round 3 Pick 70 Mike Davis, RB - South Carolina
Round 4 Jermaine Whitehead, S - Auburn
Round 5 Bryce Petty, QB - Baylor
Round 6 (Traded for Percy Harvin)
Round 7 Trey Depriest, ILB- Alabama
Our roster would look like this: (hypothetically)
QB (3) This spot will be an open competition as for now is it unclear who the starter will be. It's not guaranteed that Geno Smith will be the starting QB going forward.

I am confused by the draft how did you end up with two number 1's?

By trading down with the Browns. They wanted to move up for for a player at #6 as a result I got their 2 number 1's.

Not gonna go through the free agency part but I will give my opinion on who the Jets should choose in the draft. Kind of wishful thinking...
Rd 1: Cedric Ogbuehi - OT (Texas A&M)
Rd 2: Bryce Petty - QB (Baylor)
Rd 3: Quandre Diggs - CB (Texas)
Rd 4: Jose Matias - G (Florida State)
Rd 5: Damarious Randall - FS (Arizona State)
Rd 6: Derrick Malone - OLB (Oregon)
Rd 7: Jaxon Shipley - WR (Texas)
That being said, if I was the GM, there would definitely be a free agent CB vet signed. But that's as far as I'll go on that.

Just a heads up your losing a draft pick to the Seahawks due to the Harvin trade. If you keep him it's a 4th if not it's a 6th round pick your losing.

Yeah I thought about that but I wasn't sure what the actual pick lineup was going to be so I just listed all picks. I'd like to see Percy stay but at the same time the 4th round pick I have listed would help the team more than the 6th I have listed.

Same I love Percy, but not for his price tag and his injury issues.

CodieneWanKenobi

True. With a draft pick like Jaxon Shipley we could replace what he provided. Or with a solid free agent pickup that can also return punts.
C
Christa
Guest
Agreed!
I would be very happy with this lineup heading into next year. Love the draft.
