Day two of the 2009 NFL Draft continued much as day one did for the Jets and the Giants. The Jets continued their trading ways by getting the first pick of day two from the Lions and selecting running back Shonn Greene from Iowa. In return for moving up 11 picks, the Jets sent the Lions their original 3rd round pick (76th overall), as well as their 4th (115) and 7th round (228) pick. Greene is a between the tackles type back who, like Mark Sanchez (he made his own "trade" on Sunday for the #6 jersey), is leaving after finishing his junior year. Greene leaves Iowa after an first-team All-American season with school records of 1,850 yards and 20 TDs in a single season. With their 6th round pick (and final pick in 2009), the Jets selected Matthew Slauson, an offensive guard from Nebraska.
