Meanwhile, the Jets would draft offensive lineman D'Brickashaw Ferguson at No. 7, if the Packers haven't grabbed him at No. 5, then trade Ferguson's rights to the Saints.

It makes sense from the Saints' angle: They need help everywhere, and they'd still have the pick of the litter with either Mario Williams, A.J. Hawk, or D'brick Ferguson -- all of whom are likely to be there at #4.
I don't think D'Brickashaw Ferguson falls to #7 though.
