Meanwhile, in the best draft classes list, the Jets class according to their metric came in 5th.

IT was the 1977 class which included Marvin Powell, Wesley Walker, and Joe Klecko

+ Dan Alexander Scott Dierking Kevin Long not too shabby.

So Idzik wasn't even any good at being bad?

 

"We limited our rankings to the start of the common draft era (since 1967), and excluded any classes that still include active players, because those selections continue to generate both positive and negative AV value and the verdict is not in on those classes."

Surprises:

1. The Jets worst draft class of all time is ranked 21st amongst NFL teams' worst draft classes. We are tied with the Packers, Lions and Seahawks.

2. It was in 1986

One reason Joe Walton was run out of town three years later - which was too long IMO. The 1990 draft was pretty bad also, and it was the first for the vastly overrated Dick Steinberg

In no draft did the Jets miss on more Hall of Fame players and have the least to show for 16 rounds than 1967. First rounder was a 220 pound offensive lineman named Paul Seiler from Notre Dame. Not only did he never play a down he didn't make it through training camp. Meanwhile HOF ers on the board included Alan Page, Seiler's teammate at Notre Dame, Gene Upshaw, CB Lem Barney and LB Willie Lanier. The only two to make the Jets were DT John Elliott and guard Randy Rasmussen. 1968 was spectacularly bad as well with the team getting no starters and missing out on Curley Culp, Ken Stabler, DE Elvin Bethea and Art Shell. Other good players that year - not taken by the Jets include - Jim Kiick, Dick Anderson, George Atkinson, DE Tommy Hart and TE Bob Trumpy.

Really??

They had a Lifetime Network special on it years ago. He was married to a beauty queen who had routinely abused. In fact she was a Miss America contestant named Caroline Sapp.
