If you're a person who's looking at recent performance of the general manager, the present constitution of the roster, and projecting what the roster looks like two years from now, then you hate this draft. If you are a person who had heart surgery and have not watched the last three years, after being a rabid jets fan since 1965, and just got back into it after knowing the morons finally drafted a QB in the first round, and were all excited to be back, then watching this draft has reminded me how nice doing other things on Sundays have been. Yes, the dreaded words. Same old Jets. Ugh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought they added a sure fire stud in the first round, and a good mix of upside and high floor guys after that. It was unfortunate the Jets didn’t have their second round pick, but trading future assets to acquire one isn’t responsible. No you aren’t wrong. No one knows how these draft picks will turn out. Except for some on this board that act like they have scouted, watched all the game tape and players in person etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think we had a strong draft. Do I think every pick was fantastic? No but I think we added a impact player with Williams, a potential steal with the polite, and did add to the oline and a TE who can both block well and I feel can be a decent weapon for Sam 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He participated in picking an offensive HC to help our rookie QB improve in his second year, and in choosing a much better defensive coaching staff. No can tell how a draft will turn out for a few years but he picked a consensus stud at DT and attempted to address edge rusher, OL, and blocking TE.

TheNuuFaaolaExperience 2,138 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 No. We'll have to grade this draft in two years. If Williams and Polite become all-pro's, nobody is going to care that we had more pressing needs. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quinnen was neck and neck with Bosa as the best player in the draft, Polite has the ability to be a 10 sack a year edgerusher if he gets his sh*t together, Edoga could possibly be our starting LT or RT by 2020 (may even challenge Shell day 1), Wesco was the best blocking TE/FB in the draft and started to come on as a receiver last year, and Cashman could be a ST ace and contribute in nickel/dime packages.

Rolloffjet 688 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I liked the draft only pick I was confused about was the 6th round inj cb. Thought we should of took chance on a tall wr but it was 6th round long shot anyways. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sammybighead 1,068 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I'm a big Mac critic. After day 2, I was finally getting ready to give him a pat on the back. After those trades, I was ready to hug him. Then he picked guys on day 3 that make zero sense with possible contributors on the boards. 2 of the 3 guys come with extra body bags. I don't get it, but i'm tired of it. I can't wait to see the surprise on Mac's face when Blessaun and Cashman get hurt. Can't wait to hear the inevitable "who could have known?" Everyone Mac. Everyone knew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolloffjet 688 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think Mac likes to use those late picks on injured upside picks so when season starts he doesn’t need a roster spot for them he can stash on short term IR or just IR. Saves a spot to get to know player better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgb 27,749 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Not wrong for liking the draft. If this was Macc’s first draft—A+. But due to his prior failures, we are filling holes that should’ve been previously filled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peace Frog 3,664 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Other than the last pick, there is absolutely no reason not to like this draft. Whiner, homer, darksider, apologist, no reason not to like it. The last pick was awful but every other pick, some perfect, some meh, they all checked boxes and were in line with or exceeded projections. Be happy. Not sad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RSJ 37,650 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think this was a very good draft. There were some solid picks mixed in with some risks. This team is not being built for only this upcoming season. This is a 1 through 4 year window in which we have same on a rookie deal. People are acting like the team needs proven pro bowl players at every position. There were a few players I would have wanted instead. But we will see soon whether this will work out or not for the Jets.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romanese 41 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Yes! With only exception of not addressing the Center issue. A very good draft. I suspect we obtained an opening day Defensive Tackle, a rotational edge rusher, who will get more snaps as season moves on, Polite projected as a first rounder before combine, and considered a steal for any team getting him in the second (these two guys will also push all others on team). We may have also acquired a back-up tackle that will get playing time. Not thrilled with third day, but old enough to know I do not have the knowledge of front office professionals. We are two years away from being a serious playoff threat, and with a little luck and our reasonable travel schedule, I think we may sneak into the playoffs this year--excited!!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mac draft thinking of said players is about what you see in the player 3 years from now. However, more often than not during his tenure those players do NOT ultimately end being even decent. In fact, almost all of them from years past are out of the league. This draft is no different. As Cimini said, BEST CASE SCENARIO, Williams, Polite, and Edoga are starters. That's the best case.

johnnysd 7,432 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Mac's worst draft so far. In a vacuum you can defend the picks but we are not a better team than we we're on Wednesday by any significant margin. No consistentcy no vision over reliance in analytics. We could take a draft fuide and likely wind up with as good if a draft. And for those thinking, but Williams was vest player in the draft, so was the other JAG we had, and Quinnen needs to add like 15 sacks and 30 pressures just to have any impact. DT and ILB don't make winners Quote Link to post Share on other sites
