New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers
The Jets moved from No. 16 to No. 12 and drafted defensive end Shaun Ellis, a two-time Pro Bowler who played 184 career games and recorded 73.5 sacks. San Francisco moved back four spots, selected five-time Pro Bowler Julian Peterson, and added second-round cornerback Jason Webster. Ellis was an excellent return, but Peterson plus the extra starter gives the 49ers a narrow edge.
