After 13 years in background roles with the Denver Broncos -- from scouting intern to assistant general manager -- Darren Mougey is out front, preparing to direct his first draft from the big chair as the New York Jets' general manager.

The Jets hold eight picks in this draft, and their first is the No. 7 overall selection. What Mougey should do with that pick has been the subject of debate for months.

Three months after they were hired, general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn will select the first draft picks of their tenure beginning on the first night of the NFL Draft (April 24-26). After all the turnover on their roster, the Jets still have several needs to address.
