This can't be right.  Even a Cantabrigian (sp?) must know that the Jets must always receive a poor grade for their drafts...

Well, yeah.  At Harvard, an A+ with no honors IS a poor grade.  :-D

TMQ is the worlds' greatest sports column, present company excepted.  It is truly great stuff, the intellectual's football column.  The two draft columns were nice to assuage the offseason withdrawal.
