 As a result of their 4–12 2005 record, the Jets were granted the fourth pick in the first round of the NFL Draft, which was held on April 29 and 30.When the Houston Texans announced they would take defensive end Mario Williams of North Carolina State instead of Heisman Trophy-winning running back Reggie Bush of USC, some observers felt the Jets should trade up to the second pick and draft him.However, it appeared that making such a trade would have been too prohibitive for the team, and Bush would be drafted second by the New Orleans Saints.
