Dcat Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 yes, how could we all forget that every single player drafted out of Penn State in the history of the NFL sucks? What were we thinking? Straws. Grasping at them. Not pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty solid tackle Richie Anderson was a Pro Bowl fullback from Penn State that we drafted. Lance Mehl was a very good player ravaged by injuries. Also from penn State So was Greg Buttle. And Ralph Baker 5-3. I win, you lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Look I didn't want us to draft Hack. I was almost praying we wouldn't select him. But it's over and done and I could be totally wrong. I accept him as our 2nd round pick and hope he does well. Welcome to the team and go Nittany Lions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Harper Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 1 hour ago, kmnj said: those that dont learn from history are destined to repeat it This is a dumb observation. Both of those guys were taken in the 1st round and Blair Thomas was taken third overall (if I remember correctly). Very different from taking a risk in the second half of the second. Unless you are a crappy team picking at the top of the first round you have to take some chances on QB picks or you will never get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well because of Vlad and which every other 2nd round miss we drum up I think we're also not allowed to use our 2nd on a player. Guess we need to pass on every round since we more than likely have had bust in each round before. Of course every single NFL has done the same so every team should also pass. Would make for an interesting draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we took Hankenberg, I was like "What?" That's f*cking awesome! The dude that had the fantastic year under a REAL NFL coach when he was 18. The 21 year old 6'-4" 230lber with the big arm? Cool.

Sperm Edwards Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 1 hour ago, kmnj said: just the ones we draft suck There were two other RBs drafted in the top 5. And Courtney Brown. And I don't know what the expiration date is on Blackledge's bustitude, but it makes the Ken O'Brien pick look brilliant in comparison. And Aaron Maybin. So it's not just us. Besides, every school has busts if they're pumping out draft-worthy talent with regularity. Interesting article from a week ago tracking 1st round picks by school, since 1990: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/4/27/11517760/nfl-draft-worst-ncaa-football-teams. PSU wasn't one of the best for 1st rounders going to pro bowls, as a percentage of players taken, but there were certainly worse. Plus Hackenberg wasn't a 1st round pick so we have nothing to worry about . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77DRAFT Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Roberton, Milner, Blair Thomas, Anthony Davis, we have a bleak history when we are in the top 10 a lot of busts, including Sanchez at 6. I think Blair Thomas at 3 was the only real bust from Penn State, Kyle Brady wasn't that bad, for some reason people bust on him and Becht, who was a good player.

You might want to just admit you have no idea. OP is an idiot. Looking through the entire Jets draft history, there were as many good picks from PSU as bad ones. Here are the good ones: Ralph Baker, LB: played with the Jets for 12+ years and a starter in SB3 Greg Buttle, LB: A solid starter for many years. If only we could shut him up on the radio now. Mickey Shuler, TE: only the best Jets TE ever. (This is the one that should really embarrass the OP) Richie Anderson, RB: Probably scored more TDs than most Jet RBs and was a staple in our offense for many years. A steal in the 6th round. Kareem McKenzie, OT: A very good player for 4 years until we lost him to free agency (NY Giants) because we couldn't afford him due to mismanaged salary cap Those 5 were solid. Sure there were Blair Thomas, Lou Benfatti, and Kyle Brady, each of whom sucked. But I have no idea why the OP thinks that PSU is some kind of curse. I'll bet the success/fail ratio from PSU is better than most Division 1 teams. This whole thread is stupid. You will find successes and busts from all schools.
