The Jets are no strangers to moving up and down in the first round of the NFL Draft.

Here are some of the notable draft-day or draft-week trades the Jets have made in franchise history:

Jets received: Pick No. 2 (Johnny "Lam" Jones)

49ers received: Picks No. 13 (Earl Cooper) and No. 20 (Jim Stuckey)

The Jets traded up to the second overall pick on the morning of the draft, but instead of taking one of two eventual Hall of Famers in tackle Anthony Munoz (who went third) or receiver Art Monk (15th), they took Jones, an Olympic gold-medal sprinter who only played five seasons due to health and substance issues.
