Jets also seemed to draft low 1s to high 2nd WRs well. Rob Moore, Terrance Mathis; they were traded and became high performers throughout the 90’s. JoJo Townsell was also a capable WR.

Considering how the kicker is a direct scoring player I’d be willing to use a pick on the most promising kicker past RD2. The Jets assesses that kickers were interchangeable in ‘19 and look what happened. With the data showing declining accuracy among kickers now, there’s probably going to be more competition among teams to sign even competent kickers now.

If you torture statistics enough, they are capable of telling you anything. That’s why I believe experience and instinct remain critical for GMs. Someone has to determine what data points are relevant more than others and to assess which are indicative of trends ahead of opposing teams.

Sports media has become pure PR and crisis management. In this world of small attention-span, social media driven news, newsmakers are the most hyperbolic or radical. Coaches and GMs then have no incentive to expose themselves to controversy in an age where short term attention spans, technology and the media combine to threaten careers.
