HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -In the end, the New York Jets traded a draft pick to themselves.

New York reacquired the fourth-rounder they sent to Green Bay on the draft's first day and selected versatile San Jose State cornerback Dwight Lowery at No. 113 on Sunday.

Lowery will help fill one of the needs the Jets had entering the draft by giving coach Eric Mangini a player who can be used at both cornerback and safety, as well as someone who can return punts.

``I'm just coming into this situation trying to put my best out there for the New York Jets and see where they put me,'' Lowery said. ``It's really out of my hands.''

The Jets traded down Sunday to take Lowery when they dealt their fourth-round pick (No. 102) to the Packers for Green Bay's fourth- (No. 113) - New York's original pick - and fifth-round (No. 162) selections. New York traded the 113th pick, along with its second-round pick, for Green Bay's first-round selection Saturday.

Looking for depth at quarterback behind Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens, the Jets took Tennessee's Erik Ainge in the fifth round. Ainge is familiar with both players as Pennington is from Knoxville, Tenn., and Ainge went to high school in Oregon, where Clemens was a star with the Ducks.

``I'm going to be writing everything down and learning from them,'' Ainge said. ``That doesn't mean I'm not going to be competing, but at the same time, I'm just going to come in and take it all in.''

Despite an inconsistent four-year career with the Volunteers, Ainge still finished third in school history with 6,107 yards in total offense. He had his best season as a senior, throwing for 3,522 yards and 31 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions.

Ainge, the ninth quarterback drafted, is the nephew of former NBA star and current Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge.

``He better give me some tickets now that I'll be living in the Northeast,'' he said with a chuckle.

Nine picks later, New York took Kansas wide receiver Marcus Henry in the sixth round. He had 54 catches for 1,014 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior, and ranks ninth on the Jayhawks' career list with 104 receptions.

``Getting Marcus with the 171st pick is a steal for the New York Jets,'' Jayhawks coach Mark Mangino said. ``They will like everything about him.''

At nearly 6-foot-4, Henry could provide a tall, end zone presence for the Jets, who didn't have a receiver on their roster taller than 6-2.

``I think I could be a possession kind of guy,'' said Henry, nicknamed ``Mute'' because of his quiet demeanor. ``In college, I was considered a tall guy who could go up and get jumpballs. I think I could bring that into the NFL and develop that more and be that type of receiver.''

With their last pick, the Jets drafted Arkansas offensive tackle Nate Garner in the seventh round. The 6-6, 334-pound Garner helped block for running back Darren McFadden last season for the Razorbacks.

``It was awesome,'' Garner said. ``He made it pretty easy to do things.''

The Jets immediately got busy signing undrafted free agents Sunday night, including Chadron State running back Danny Woodhead, the NCAA's career rushing leader, according to his agent, Chris Gittings. The 5-foot-7 1/2 running back rushed for 7,962 yards in four seasons for the Division II school in western Nebraska.

Terms of the deal weren't immediately disclosed, and the Jets wouldn't confirm the signing.

After two productive years playing free safety at Cabrillo College, Lowery transferred to San Jose State and became the Spartans' starting left cornerback.

``We like his versatility,'' said Joey Clinkscales, the Jets' director of college scouting. ``We think he's a guy who can come in and have a chance to compete.''

While his man-coverage skills are considered average, his nose for making plays on the football is superb. Lowery tied for the NCAA lead with nine interceptions in 13 games as a junior at San Jose State, and he added four last season - even after breaking his jaw while tackling a running back two days before spring practice. The 5-11 defensive back, whose jaw was wired shut for seven weeks after the hit, finished with 26 interceptions in four college seasons.

``Well, he's done it in the past and we're predicting that he'll be able to do it at this level,'' Clinkscales said. Lowery could potentially compete for the right cornerback spot to play opposite Darrelle Revis, last year's first-round pick. The Jets also have veteran David Barrett, Justin Miller, Drew Coleman and Andre Woolfolk at cornerback.

``As long as you're in a good situation, and I feel like I will be with the New York Jets, you can't ask for anything more than that,'' Lowery said.

The Jets selected Ohio State defensive end Vernon Gholston with the sixth overall pick, and took Purdue tight end Dustin Keller at No. 30 after the trade with the Packers.
