The Giants and Jets selected players at the same position in the first round of the NFL draft for the second year in a row and ninth time since 1970, when the teams started drafting together following the NFL/AFL merger. Here’s look at how the previous decisions have turned out:

Giants (4):Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
Giants (17):Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville

Jets (3): Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama
Giants (17): Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson

Edge: Too soon to tell.

Jets (14): Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh
Giants (20): Aaron Ross, CB, Texas

Edge: Ross was a key contributor to two Giants Super Bowl winners, but “Revis Island” was a four-time All-Pro and generational corner.

Jets (4): Dwayne Robertson, DT, Kentucky
Giants (25): William Joseph, DT, Miami

Edge: Robertson led in tackles, 283-103, and sacks, 16-7. So he wins by decision, but he was not worth the fourth pick, which the Jets traded up to get.

Giants (14): Derek Brown, TE, Notre Dame
Jets (15): Johnny Mitchell, TE, Nebraska

Edge: Mitchell by quite a bit. He totaled 159 catches, 2,103 yards and 16 TDs compared to 43-401-1 for Brown, most of which came after he left the Giants.

Jets (2): Blair Thomas, RB, Penn State
Giants (24): Rodney Hampton, RB, Georgia

Edge: Oh … my … God! Thomas is one of the draft’s all-time busts, never rushing for more than 728 yards in a season. Hampton was a force in the 1990s with five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.

Jets (8): Dave Cadigan, T/G, USC
Giants (10): Eric Moore, G, Indiana

Edge: Moore started 74 regular-season games to Cadigan’s 64. Moore’s legacy is enhanced by a Super Bowl XXV title and clouded by a 1993 indictment for steroid possession.

Jets (4): Chris Ward, T, Ohio State
Giants (10): Gordon King, T, Stanford

Edge: Ward frustrated Jets fans with holding penalties and had his helmet infamously thrown at him by Raiders DE Lyle Alzado in the 1982 playoffs, but he was a fixture for years opposite RT Marvin Powell and had a better career than King.

Jets (6): John Riggins, RB, Kansas
Giants (18): Rocky Thompson, RB, West Texas A&M

Edge: Even if you take away his 7,400-plus yards as a Redskin, Hall of Famer Riggo still outrushed Thompson in New York, 3,880 yards to 217.
