BroadwayRay Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Funny that the Vikings are at the top and their OL was worse than ours last year. But yeah, that’s rage inducing. I hope this is Macc’s last Jets draft. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JetFaninMI Posted April 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2019 Now do you Macc guys get it? This is the prime reason why the man must go. You don't draft your FQB and not draft or sign any OL. You just don't do it. You don't sign scrubs and call it good. You don't trade for 1 guy and think it will be okay. You draft and sign as many OL as it takes. You do it until you get it right. You literally have the fate of the Franchise in your hands in Sam and his development. You don't mess with that. You go all in. Boggles the mind to see that some people don't or won't see it. 8 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDown Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 @Beerfish, is this your own research? If so, thanks for taking the time to put it together. In today's NFL, the OL is the most important position group behind QB. The blatant disregard for putting resources into this unit is mind boggling.

LinemanCT Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I don’t understand it either? They spend all the money and effort scouting trading up for a quarterback Then they do the same for a elite running back . Only to draft an project OT and almost make no effort to fix the line ..

Fish, it's a nice chart and you would think that a plethora of draft picks dedicated to the offensive line would point to a pattern of success and winning football, but your chart does not necessarily bear that out. Some teams that have spent a premium number of picks on Offensive line have had success, Patriots and Seahawks, while others, Cardinals, Colts[up until last year], Bengals, Lions, have sucked as badly as we have. Others with strong reputations on the Offensive line, Steelers, Chiefs, Jaguars, Cowboys, have dedicated almost as few drafting resources to the line as we have. How do you explain that. All this chart proves is that when you do draft Offensive Linemen you have to hit on the pick. We already knew that. The biggest reason to replace Mike Maccagnan is the number of missed draft picks during his tenure. You should be citing those as the biggest reason to fire him. This chart does nothing towards that end. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And because OL guys are not always plug and play means you have to invest regardless.The bold is not a reason to not pick OL guys at all, in fact quite the opposite. If don't pick any you'll never develop any. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is just macs tenure we don't see the teams that build before that time. John Idzik used 4 picks on oline in his two years here. Being dead last on drafting olineman is total neglect. Teams that have good olines still draft more than the Jets. Who have we developed in his time here? Winters? (Idzik) Dozier? (Idzik) A medium level RT coming off a bad injury is his 5 year claim to fame. After the awful center play we have had the last two years he does nothing at all. No defense for this kind of neglect. He's used four 6th round picks on CBs, used a 4th and traded a 5th for Cbs. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheClashFan Posted April 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2019 Sadly, Mac clearly believes that a team can build a perfectly fine OL through signing veteran castoffs and the rare middle round draft pick. I thought that the Osemele trade might signify a change in that philosophy, but alas, no, that turns out to be an exception to the rule. Back to browsing in the junkyard. Once Darnold was drafted, the #1 priority should've been to get him a a good OL. As the OP noted, you have 5 starters on an OL, and they tend to play entire games. Mac should be drafting 2 OL every year until they have at least a solid line. I was praying that last year's 3rd round pick would be an OL, but instead an oldish small college DT was taken. BTW, first post. Longtime lurker and former Jets Insider member. Oh, and note how many OL the two Superbowl teams drafted in that span. 9 each. This is a case where we should emulate the Pats, who have drafted three times as many. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Rico Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The teams who used 1st and 2nd round picks in the past five seasons on offensive lineman have starters, with very few exceptions (busts like Erik Flowers) .

Possibly the most important now that we have a franchise QB to protect. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply said that the chart you presented as proof of your argument does not do that. And it doesn't. There are teams that have drafted a ton of Offensive Lineman on that chart that out and out suck. There are others that have spent almost as little draft capital on Offensive Line as we have that are perennial winners. How do you rationalize that? Look at the chart. The argument may be a sound one. The chart offered as proof does nothing to bolster that point. It's as simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestater Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Miniature linebackers, college QBs who get worse every year, 80 year old DTs and safeties safeties safeties! That's what this idiot wastes picks on, rather than building an o line. Hell, if he hit on 25% of the picks he's wasted on crap, on o line, we'd be set 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sonny Werblin Posted April 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2019 I've been saying it for over a year. The O line is the largest position group on the team with 5 of the 22 starters on O and D. That's 22.73% of the starting lineup and Mac acts like drafting O lineman is an afterthought. It's like he doesn't even understand simple math. He can't be fired soon enough. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClashFan Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The chart does NOT show why some teams have been bad while drafting lots of OL (clearly, they drafted badly). The chart does not "prove" anything either way. It DOES show, partly, why the Jets have stunk so bad, though, in recent years. What's the record the past three years? Can anyone doubt that lousy OL play is at least a major factor in that? Last year's two Superbowl Teams each have drafted three times as many OL as the Jets over the past five years. If there is a single team in the NFL that the Jets should be trying to emulate, it is the NE Patriots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't see an issue with being last in the league in oline draft resources I don;t know what to tell you. I would have a much bigger problem drafting failures vs having quality talent at other positions. You don't draft bad players just for the sake of need. They won't suddenly become good just because you need a guy. We could have drafted a lineman with every one of our picks. Doesn't mean we'll be good or even have a good O-line because if the talent isn't there you can't force it to be. I would rather have pro bowlers at other positions than mediocre O-line prospects. Edit: I want to add that I share everyone's frustration with our O-line problems and I know it is the most important position in football. But there hasn't been a quality draft for O-line since 2014.

Thank you...thank you good Sir! Your chart is spot on...there are FIVE starting OL men who unless injured play EVERY SNAP. They protect your most important asset, and until you find a perennial starter at each spot that you can depend on, like a Mangold or Ferguson, you need to invest draft capital on the big fatties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
