NFL Draft: Jets take Iowa State’s Will McDonald IV, Aaron Rodgers trade looms large

Gang Green selected Iowa State linebacker Will McDonald IV with the No. 15 pick. But their pick swap with the Packers as part of the Rodgers deal — the Jets originally had the 13th selection — cost them the offensive tackle they coveted. That and the good old Patriots screwjob.
