Therefore, I believe he knows they will target a running back who can run and catch early in this draft. They may trade back to maximize the value of selecting that position, but that is what I believe Tanny knows and hinted at, but steered clear of actually divulging.

I think you are correct. The best opprotunity of finding a trading partner, for the jets to trade down, is a mini run on Left tackles with Joekel, Fisher and Lane Johnson, being the only legitimate candiates. Tannebaum may have created another opprotunity for a team looking for a big play WR... I think MT did the Jets a favor
