JetFreak89 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 As I stated in another thread I'm starting to sour on Mac and whether he should continue as GM depends entirely on how his picks do this year. Which is somewhat hard to evaluate because as of now, most are not playing. With that said here is how I see things: 2015 Draft - Not good. Obviously Williams is a stud but the rest of the picks are not on active rosters. I have given up hope on Mauldin. This draft COULD turn into a good one if Petty starts and plays well. 2016 Draft - Teetering on Negative. Lee looks bad and Hack is a disaster. However, Jenkins, Burris, Shell and Edwards performed decently yesterday. If Peake could see the field and show improvement it would be hard to call this draft class a bust even with Lee and Hack. You don't dump GM's who potentially hit on 5 out of 7 picks. 2017 Draft - This is where I believe Mac either stays or goes. For the most part, Adams looked good. Maye looks lost but hard to judge a rookie in his first game and safety isn't the easiest position. Stewart, Hansen, Leggett and McGuire NEED to see extensive playing time this year. They need to be evaluated quickly and in game situations that actually matter as opposed to the end of the year when the team has given up. Long story short - Hard to tell as of right now whether Mac should keep his job. If the majority of Mac's picks in the 2017 draft look like solid contributors/starters moving forward, I find it VERY hard to believe that you can let him go after this season. I think if you do, when these guys hit their peak we will be reminiscing on the drafts similar to how some reminisce about Mangini's drafts. Of course, if the players look like crap then it's time to clean house and bring in a new guy for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the above would be light years better than the shiz Macc has added to the roster. Why do people assume that just because a player went before the Jets pick that we had no chance to aquire them? In both cases, Trubisky and Wentz, QB needy teams aggressively traded up to draft these guys. The Jets are allowed to do that too, for those that didn't realize. So ppl just need to stop with the crap argument that Macc hasn't had a chance to add a worthy QB prospect. He has....multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no personal notes. No emails he sent to himself. He made no effort to save information he had in Texas while putting his name out there for a promotion to GM.

Sent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app I guess I'll bite. I've done decently in our mocks the last 3 years or so. I'd say at least 60% of the guys I've taken produce some level of baseline pro production at their respective positions. The effort I put into this is basically looking at their combine numbers in certain drills and see how they translate to pro success. I also cross walk it with the one draft guide I purchase every year. It takes no more than 20 minutes. I've done significantly better than the Jets (as have many others) Here are the last 3 JN mocks: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1noxFAav64fJ9QOM65DcBFI0AbPMr-xaJou8m5m_pqds/edit#gid=2107347926 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kCslja7fLkZ5dD_sWR2inT5Qv31eCWR1Uz9-QW96bKE/edit#gid=836624676 This isnt all that difficult and we're not privy to the one on one interviews or medical history.

sirlancemehlot Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 On 9/10/2017 at 4:49 PM, LionelRichie said: The issue is that you don't rebuild with tiny linebackers and 2 safeties. You need to address the meaningful positions: OT, QB, pass rush, WR. These are the positions that Macc has neglected for 3 years. what has macc done to make you confident that he can lead a rebuild? Next year we take QB 1st and then rather than address OL or WR we are going to here about value when taking the best available DL with the next 3 picks. The guy clearly doesn't have a cohesive plan and is just making random uncoordinated moves. I'd argue that a true rebuild starts with one unit and one unit only...offensive line. Without it you can't develop a qb, your WR's can't finish a route and you have no running game to fall back on. Even if the Jets should get their star QB next year, he'll be beaten to death before he can be any good. Dak Prescott started with an excellent Oline, the 'Boys did it right. Andrew Luck, who has twice the talent, is a wasted cap hit, because there is no supporting cast on that team, and no protection. Colts did it wrong. And then you have the Jets starting the likes of Brent Qvale, Wesley Johnson and Kelvin Beachum (at LT no less). This team is years away from building a competitive roster.

The team is the HC's vision, not the GM's. Macc is a money manager, a glorified accountant, number cruncher, stat machine. His job is to deliver who and what the HC wants according to the HC's plan. Macc is the dealmaker. Bowles is football. Bowles is the mastermind, strategist, battlefield General. His job is to lead, teach, develop, oversee development, build a staff, oversee the staff, establish a culture, inspire, and utilize everybody - player and coach - effectively to make his plan work. This team looks slow, sloppy, stupid, unprepared in every football category just like last year. Let's fire the front office manager. If you want plug & play superstars that conceal sucky coaching, that's fine. But those players are mostly pricey vet FAs bred by other teams, not raw draft picks homegrown by Todd Bowles.
