Didn't the Jets also get Matt Shaub?

Denver was simply the middle man:
Jets get 29th overall pick in the draft, give up Abraham
Falcons get John Abraham plus Denver's third round pick and a fourth rounder (either this or next), and give up the 15th overall pick
Broncos get 15th overall pick, giving up 29th overall pick plus a third and a fourth.
The Broncos got a great deal, with the Falcons getting their guy, and the Jets arguably getting jipped depending on how much one values John Abraham. Schaub is still a Falcon.
