Integrity28 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Slats may remember this, because he and I profusely agreed with each other (while the vocal majority melted down) about not drafting an OG in round 1. NFL writer Dan Pompei reports second-year LG Jonathan Cooper "has a ways to go," and could be "beaten out" by Earl Watford for the starting job. All we got were 2 starting defenders. One of whom was DROY. Oh, and our multiple late round OL picks seem to be fairing better than the #7 overall pick Thank you, Idzik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachEY Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'm still pissed off that we didn't come away with a guard, a WR, Milliner, another CB, and Richardson, in the first round last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I wanted Warford for the entire off-season, but wouldn't have touched him until the second round. You just don't get guard that early, unless he's a Steve Hutchinson-type pick, the value isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper certainly tested out that way. Combine that with the fact that it was an incredibly horrible draft for offense, it really wasn't that stupid of a pick.

AFJF Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I wanted a CB but thoguht Milliner would be gone by 9 in which case I wanted the best of the two OG's or Cordarelle Patterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine that with the fact that it was an incredibly horrible draft for offense, it really wasn't that stupid of a pick. He certainly had all the numbers you wanted, but I can't imagine this is the first we're hearing of his laziness or being nonchalant about the game. I know 'Zona was in a position where their Oline was terrible as well as being invested in Fitzy/Floyd and Palmer, but I just don't like the selection of a guard in the top half of the draft.

JetsFanInDenver Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I just remember in the run up to the draft a whole bunch of people hoping against hope that Milliner fell to #9 so we have our CB and then once we eventually did get him everyone was like listen to what Mayock had to say about Milliner, Same Ole JETS.

Integrity28 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I like how you left off, "1 of whom was benched several times throughout the season." If I left that out, then I also left out the part about how that motivated him to eventually earn defensive player of the month honors by the end of his rookie season - despite having shown up late to camp and the fact that there is a steep learning curve for rookie CBs. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 No, it really isn't. C'mon man, taking a guard top 10 is totally the same as taking a safety at 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall ever hearing about attitude issues. Me either, I'm just surprised it's the first we're hearing it. I understand guys getting a big contract and then mailing it in, but usually there's at least one article or blurb mentioning it prior to the draft. I don't recall anything with Cooper, which is what threw me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Kinda like taking a safety in round 1. The defending super-bowl champs selected Earl Thomas with the 14th overall pick. Four safeties went in the first round this past year and another one in the top of the second. In a passing league where CBs are being hamstrung, safeties are becoming a premium position.
