What is the point of this post? Jamal Adams played very well as well. Cook had a great first game. Who cares...

Am I suppose to understand that because Dalvin Cook had a great game on a much better team that now Jamal Adams sucks? He was considered arguably the best player in the draft...

I think you are to understand that they could have drafted Adams and still got Cook.  It was the whole 1 safety is not enough thing that gets most people.  I assume that they passed on Cook due to the character/entourage concerns.  Still...

The funny thing is Cook actually could have had an even bigger monster game yesterday if he hadn't dropped three passes.  He actually looked really stiff and nervous in the 1st quarter.

Dalvin Cook 5 targets, 3 receptions, 3 drops.  He's a magician!

Way too many fans expect that the Jets could rebuild this team in 3 drafts. 1- We DON'T have a QB! He took a couple of shots & missed. No GM will have success in this league until they find a QB. 

We have 2 starters from the Tanny/Rex-Idzik/Rex regime, Mo & Winters and Bilal Powell is an average running back. Because of the past drafts the Jets are like a leaking ship with numerous holes to plug and we lost our best player from that regime in Enunwa to injury.

Competetitive rebuild in 2015 was fun but set this franchise back like it always does when players need contracts or get old.

If you can't rebuild a team in 3 drafts (especially with a TON of FA money) you are an idiot.  Period.  

They only have 2 starters from the Tanny/Rex/Idzik years?  Those years were so devoid of talent that they are still paying Revis and they went out and got Demario Davis and Kerley back.  Raise your hand if you don't think those two will be starting shortly.

Competitive rebuild infers that you are rebuilding.  When you build something you don't usually have to gut in 2 years later.  If you do gut it two years later, usually people aren't standing around saying "Why the **** did you wait so long?"

I keep forgetting Cook was a 2nd rounder.

With all due respect, you sir are nuts. Cook is a star and a soon to be superstar. He ran last ight behind a brand new OL. First game together for all.

Bilal Powell is average. Matt Forte used to be average. 

Cook is not average

 

I wasn't talking about Cook. I was talking about Bradford. With all due respect, someone called Bradford elite and that's what I was responding to.

Remember that these two safeties are playing with a very weak LB and CB group.  They are forced to be leaders as rookies with a bunch of average to below average players (not including the Big Cat). Landon Collins play got significantly better in his 2nd year after the Giants gave him help in the secondary.  Give these guys a chance to grow and hope that the GM fills in the other pieces in the next two years.  Williams, Adams and May are the young buck nucleus.  We will get there eventually.

The decision to pass on Cook, and to draft Maye are two different issues. Yes, our secondary was in need of talent and Yes Maye was a reasonable pick to address safety at spot (if you ignore the adams pick).... but you can't look exclusively from that angle. That's not what a GM is paid to do. They're paid to make the RIGHT choice, not just avoid the bad ones. Our offense needs playmakers and youth just as badly as our badly as our secondary needed an overhaul. He needs to recognize value in the draft, and the need to score points. To pretend like drafting a second safety and passing on an elite talent at RB isn't a note worthy narrative is insane. It's the kind of ignorance that winds a team up in the gutter 3 drafts into a rebuild. It's the kind of sheepish approach that keeps teams on the sidelines in January.
