Makes sense I wonder how much they have to give up for him. I've said this awhile ago I have a feeling there is going to be alot of movement in this years draft. You know what this means..... My mock 5.0 coming soon! Lol
My mock 2.0
12. Jets (trade w/seahawks): Melvin Ingram OLB 6'1½" 264
First curve-ball of the draft. The Jets needing to improve their pass rush and fearing another 3-4 team (San Diego, Texans, Patriots) may beat them to the punch trade up for the former Gamecock.

The New York Jets hold the 16th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, but they may not be sitting there for very long.
According to SI’s Tony Pauline per TFY Draft Insider, the Jets are reportedly very high on South Carolina defensive end Melvin Ingram and are planning their draft strategy around trading up for him.
The only real question that has lingered around Ingram this offseason is where he fits at the next level. Ingram is one of the best pass-rushers in this year’s draft, but at 6’1” and 264 pounds with 31.5” arms, it has been up for debate whether he fits better as an end or a stand-up rusher.
Fortunately for the Jets, it won’t matter.
Head coach Rex Ryan runs a sophisticated and complex enough defense that he’ll find a way to utilize Ingram’s strengths. In fact, Ingram may actually be a great fit in New York because of Ryan’s defense.
RotoWorld.com points out that, “Ingram is a terrific scheme fit for Rex Ryan, who coached up a similar player in Adalius Thomas with the Ravens.”
It’s clear the Jets like Ingram and that he’d fit well in the defense, but they’ll most likely have to make a move to go up and get him in the draft.
The Jacksonville Jaguars (No. 7), Miami Dolphins (No. 8) and Carolina Panthers (No. 9) could all be interested in Ingram’s services. New York may also face some trade competition from other teams trying to move up to those spots in potential trade scenarios.
So, while the “chatter is getting louder” that the Jets want the pass-rusher and plan to trade up for him, the value of those latter Top-10 picks is going up as well.
