The Jets may have given their most emphatic response of all to disgruntled tight end Chris Baker, though they denied that had anything to do with the pick.

After taking Ohio State's Vernon Gholston with the sixth overall pick, the Jets traded with Green Bay to get the second-to-last pick of the first round and selected Purdue tight end Dustin Keller. The Jets dealt this year's second-round selection (the 36th pick) and one of their fourth-round picks (the 113th) to the Packers, who had the 30th overall pick.

Jets fans, perhaps anticipating the pick would go toward a quarterback or wide receiver, booed.

Michigan's Chad Henne and Louisville's Briam Brohm -- the top-rated remaining quarterbacks -- still were available, as were a slew of wide receivers (none had been taken yet).

"A couple nights ago, we had run some scenarios about a group of players that if they were available at the bottom of the first round, we would try to trade back into the bottom of the first," Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said. "Dustin obviously was one of those players."

Tannenbaum said Keller was targeted by the Jets even before Baker, the team's starting tight end, left the team's offseason voluntary workout program several weeks ago seeking a trade or a renegotiated contract.
