I'm done, this team is pure moronic.  Our coach runs the team and the gm is a fing mini me tool.  Maccagana has one one thing since becoming gm, get uiltra lucky that good players fall to him in the 1st round.

Fire these clowns  before they do any more damage with their 'plan'.

What a GROSS over estimation by this team of their offensive talent.

Overview
Fatukasi is raw but talented and offers a well-built, versatile defender who can be played at a variety of positions by teams who employ varied defensive fronts. He needs to improve at the point of attack, but that could happen if he's asked to slant less and improves technique as a two-gapper. Fatukasi's flashes of power and disruption could be foreshadowing a future as a quality NFL starter with the ability to play on passing downs if he can reach his potential.
Strengths
  • Dense, well-proportioned frame with good muscle mass
  • Fires out of his stance with good pad level and initial quickness when working in the gaps
  • Has brute power to challenge a blocker's edges and constrict rush lanes
  • Has two-gap potential, with more technique work
  • Able to rock interior blockers with heavy, punishing hands in his pass rush
  • Uses hands and leg drive to cave the pocket and force quarterbacks to move
  • Flashed a fluid spin move that could have some legs on next level
  • Plays with energy and vigor on every snap
  • Raw but talented
  • Has necessary size and strength to play play nose or three-technique in a 4-3 and defensive end in a 3-4
Weaknesses
  • Plays with some tightness in his knees
  • Production as run defender is average
  • Lateral movement is nothing special
  • Has a hard time staying ahead of blocks when plays flow outside
  • Inconsistent in recognition of blocking schemes
  • Lacks feel for down blocks
  • Needs to work with more consistent technique against double teams to improve anchor
  • Gets caught up with fist fights in front of him rather than controlling point of attack with length and power
  • Shed timing is below average
  • Loses balance when he plays out of control
  • Pass rush would improve with greater focus

WTF?!?  Farukasi?  ANOTHER DL?!?

Love the player - wanted him - but we drafted DL in the 3rd and just traded for Anderson from the Colts?!?

I agree.  Good player, but we have already added 2DLs in the last 24 hours.

New York Jets: Foley Fatukasi, DT, Connecticut A- Grade
Foey Fatukasi tested very well and has some upside. He has a quick interior pass rush, so he could have been chosen a bit earlier than this. Once again, the Jets made a quality selection in the sixth round.

The offensive line is not good. Probably not a top 15 guy at his position anywhere and these guys keep playing with their own cockadoodledoos each draft. It’s shameful. 

I like how they traded a pick this past year for a CB who never saw the field last year and then drafted another. But whatever it takes to get Buster Skrine off this team.

LOVE the 2 6th round picks.  Fatukasi is a BEAST ...A BEAST

Nickerson will be a super addition to the team at CB

Agree. 

Pauline had 4th rounder on Nickerson who flies....theres the nickel they were looking to get  

Analysis: 
Nickerson was a solid cornerback the past three seasons and does not get the credit he deserves. He lacks starter size for the next level but offers potential in nickel or dime packages as either a zone cornerback or in man coverage.

Maybe a good portion of fans under estimate it?

I like both guys we drafted in the 6th.  Not sure those were positions we needed to target.

Nickerson is fast and small, a good nickel guy.

Loved Fatukasi in the run up to the draft. Great size and looks like a natural 3-4 DE.  Just not sure why we picked him after adding Shepherd and Anderson.
