faba Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 For all of the Internet's faults, I think it has finally come to the realization that if you're bitching about 6th round draft picks, you probably need to take a break from watching sports for a while. I think Jet fans like to bitch about Tom Brady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Good job Bit, Tad of a Sun-shiners spin to it, but the board can use that from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberjet Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Good job Bit, Tad of a Sun-shiners spin to it, but the board can use that from time to time Agreed - but at least there was substance behind the optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I really like this article and have always respected Matt's assessments on the prospects and his hard work on his Draft Daddy site. Thank you Matt and Maxman -good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinlawyer Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Bitonti is awesome, great insight. Of course we are friends,but putting that aside, his analysis tends to be on point quite often. Good to see him get his props! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see him get his props! Yea LL, as a guy who NEVER watched much College football, I have leaned on Matt's analysis a lot of times over the years when it comes to guys who I have heard about.

I'll watch LSU, maybe some Florida or Florida State games, maybe if I am feeling real rowdy I will watch Cincinnati Bearcats or maybe UCONN Football, but I can't match wits with Bit when it comes to college football, that guy knows College Football.

Ken Schroy Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well I'm all in on this draft. I can't wait for August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 thanks for the kind words, I should note that Riggins44 (R44) is still a huge part of the DD website (update the blog every dam day) and he's a great source for small schoolers and other blind spots in my coverage. He doesn't post on boards much anymore but he's the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Can you imagine if the Pats had drafted McDougle in the 3rd? That would be a 10-page thread by now. This was actually a very Patriot like draft for the Jets. A ton of picks and a bunch of so called "reaches" by the people who think they know what they're talking about. And if you look at recent history, they're terrible at it too. Not to say, that you're wrong or anything, I just figured stuff and things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Lonelyhearts Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 A ton of picks and a bunch of so called "reaches" by the people who think they know what they're talking about. Do they? I think if you actually asked the people whose rankings are being used as a measuring stick for reality, most of them would probably freely admit that once you get outside of the top couple of tiers these things are ballpark at best. The high scores for the Huddle Report's top 100 contest every year are generally in the 75-80 range, meaning that beyond the gimmes they're basically only 50/50 at correctly putting these guys into the top 100 let alone ranking the ones who fall outside of that. Some sites do these rankings up to 200 or 250 or whatever but in reality when you get to that point in the draft tons of guys are going to the only team that actually has them on the board. There just isn't any such thing as a general set of rankings beyond some number that's no greater than about 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadetree Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Victor Cruz ...

I was more so talking about the fan reaction. 3rd round on, its a crap shoot, if you land a real player, its defying the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 meh I can't shake the feeling that around august 15th as we look at the depth chart we will wonder why a DE or OT wasn't taken over a 3rd WR or 2nd CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Dozier is going to compete to start somewhere inside this year. He's their shot at a Warford or Evans-esque hit on a G in the mid-rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
