We have drafted a lot of CB's under mac, how many of the have stepped in after a few years to contribute in a major way?

We have not really even really tried to draft RBs under mac at all.

We drafted a lot of CB's and Dlinemen - when the highly rated DL produces  no pass rush it doesn't matter who the CB's are . Let's see if Williams can generate a pass rush and get value out of guys like Roberts , Jones and Tru.  I agree Mac never effectively drafted RB's , as it seems the last 20 years of defensive minded HC's had other plans for the draft.

So if the Jets have roughly $45 million dollars in cap space left and there isn’t one player on the current roster you’d even consider extending with that cap space, and there aren’t any free agents worth anything more than tiny, one-year deals, can someone explain how Mike Maccagnan gets to keep his job into next week?

Because firing him for these reasons at this time makes absolutely no sense at all?

You let him get to this point, have what is being called a successful off season and then fire him?  Yeah, that would help the org move forward.

Fun fact.  Last year was successful.  

And better fact, has nothing to do with what hes done this offseason.  No one other than a small few here are complaining that this offseason wasn't.  Maybe since we let him handle this offseason we should let the season play out before deciding that this offseason was "disastrous" and Macc deserves to be fired.  Call me crazy

4 CBs in 4 years is a lot?

3 in the 6th round, one in the 4th?

So his first season here was disastrous ? Was it also his fault our locker room went to sh*t under Todd Bowles in year 2 ?

They just signed a 34 year old nose tackle to a contract because the nose tackle they drafted in the third round last year can’t play. They signed a cornerback who was cut from the Jaguars to play the slot because the slot cornerback they drafted last year can’t play. They signed an inside linebacker to more money than Eli Manning is making to replace the inside linebacker they drafted in the first round three years ago. They’re probably going to draft a 3-4 DE with the third overall pick because the 3-4 DE they drafted four years ago can’t play, even though they’re also giving that DE $15 mil this year. Maybe Bowles wasn’t the problem with the talent.

I know Tom But I was referring to years 1 and 2 when you said "his first 4 years were disastrous"

plus giving a 5th for rashard robinson.  NONE have worked out.

Lets compare then 4 cbs in 4 years with 2 maybe 3 cbs on the field at once.

two olineman in 4 years when there are 5 on the field at once.

The guy is a large bag of fail in his draft success and what positions he drafts.

Macc should have been fired the moment we drafted Christian Hackenberg.

Falling into Darnold doesn’t make him suddenly successful. Far from it.

Hell, the very next pick after Darnold was Nathan Shepherd, a 29-year old project DT. Big Macccccc

As I said, 4 in 4 years isnt a lot

All but one was a 6th and he was a 4th.  At which point youre drafting STs and hoping for depth

No he shouldnt.  Lots of GMs whiff on QBs, most after the high first are whiffs.  

You can keep repeating he fell into Darnold because you dont want to give the guy an ounce of credit but he moved up to 3 to have a shot at the first 3 top QBs.  Thats on him.  The talk of luck or better yet Heimerdinger being sent to work out the parameters of the trade up is just more to take credit away from Macc.  

The idea that anyone knows what Shepherd will be today is more nonsense.

No one has whiffed on a QB more poorly than Macc whiffed on Hackenberg. Other than a prototypical body, he had zero skills that suggested he’d be a success. He had one of the worst QBase scores of all time.

Everyone here knew Hack would suck. That’s telling.

Really?

Reid whiffed more than once.  Gruden whiffed more than once.  Can go on and on.  They all do, most QBs, no matter where theyre taken are whiffs.

Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, Art Schlister, Blaine Gabbert. Shirley, you can't be serious!

Yes, I can. All of those guys had superior perceived skillsets to Hackenberg coming out. And all had better QBase scores.

 

And not only did Macc draft Hack in the 2nd, he doubled down on him the following season.

 

To never see the field and even be a total failure in the AAF is absurd.

Really?

So guys like David Carr, Couch, Kizer, Beathard, Lynch, Kessler, Bortles, Geno, Glennon, Tannehill, Locker, Gabbert, etc, etc were what, good picks where all should be fired?

Most thought Mahomes would struggle, does that make me feel good about missing that one?  Nope

Other than blowing a playoff spot the last week of the season against a division rival led by Rex Ryan what was disastrous about it? 

In Maccagnan’s defense, he did put together a team that lasted two full years before needing to be blown up and rebuilt
