Cleveland was aware and stood pat. Totally get that Dcat. Not knocking you for not trying. Just surprised it went the way it did. Apparently expressing surprise is offensive to some posters here (not you). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not there with either of them that high in the draft. Oh well... next year one of the unhappy posters can choose the jets. But this year I'm going to do what I think is best given the circumstances Mac has put me in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always been what WE would do. Obviously, I would have picked Allen at 3 if I was trying to pretend I was Mac. Either he is just fine with Allen or he knows that Rosen will be there. Oh well. I'm not fine with Allen at 3 (or Mayfield). So to hell with Mac's trade up. I'll manage the Jets draft to what I think is best. Other people can try to emulate the real life GM if they want.

Yeah, blaming this on what you imagine McGM is thinking makes this worse. What you did was some bullsh*t. This is the kind of move that would instantly get people fired and out of pro sports altogether.

He traded up to 3 because he either is enamored with Allen or he knows Rosen will be there. I'm not enamored with either Allen or Mayfield at 3. That's it. I don't care about the trade he made with Colts. My guy WAS NOT THERE at 3. Recoup some draft capital and move forward. If Mac trades to 3 and his guy is already taken, then Mac should be fired. Not worth the gamble. He and I don't agree on Allen/Mayfield at 3 obviously. Or he knows Rosen will be there. But not in this mock. If you disagree fine. We agree to disagree.

I think the trade up to 1.03 Mac made is looking freaking awful right now. It was a gamble and the worst scenario played out. In reality, he must know that the Giants are going Barkley or he is just fine taking Mayfield or Allen at #3. I'm not. Just because HE is satisfied with Mayfield/Allen at #3, doesn't mean I have to be. So pardon me while I try to recoup some draft capital. Of course it is. #2 is a guaranteed QB (Rosen) pick, whether it’s by the Giants or by another team. I hope to God we move back in the draft cuz Allen and/or Mayfield would’ve been there at #6 anyways. Let’s see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Guys, please be mindful that this is for fun. Let's appreciate that DEN got a great trade if that's what you think without getting too harsh on the other side of it. As Dcat said, drafting for the Jets here is going to be a thankless job in that no matter what he did, at least half the board was going to disagree, in some cases quite loudly. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can bring it on. It's not going to change what I am going to do. Apologies to those who think taking Allen or Mayfield at 3 was smart. Worst case scenario was Darnold-Rosen 1-2. I told everyone yesterday that if those 2 went 1-2 happened I was going to trade back. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Well, we have sure gotten off to a fun start!!! Been crazy busy working this AM and just got a chance to get caught up on the draft. I understand the move Dcat made by dropping back. He could have taken Mayfield or Allen at 3 and gotten no criticism for it. Instead he moved the next pick up up from Round 3 to Round 2 and is getting killed. This is why I hate taking the Jets in these mocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing what I think is best. Neither Mayfield nor Allen is worth the #3. End of story. I would have taken Rosen or Darnold in a heartbeat.

#27TheDominator Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I think this goes to one of the issue with mock drafts: Do you pick it the way you think it will happen? The way the team thinks? Or do you pick it the way you would do it if you were the GM? I tend to go with the latter - which is what dcat is doing here. It is why I usually take teams like the Seahawks that go for measurables, because I tend to like those players too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of it you apply a three year old's reasoning (I don wanna!) and, through disregard, pretty much sh*t on whoever chose to coordinate this year by reminding everyone that the fake message board mock draft is fake so pulling nonsense bullsh*t is OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
