And to think there were still people who defended this guy right up to the point where he got fired.

No.  No other team was this bad. 

 

Just to satisfy my own curiosity, here's the Giants since 2015:

(2015-17:  Jerry Reese; 2018-present:  Dave Gettleman)

 

2015

  • 1.9:  OT Ereck Flowers  --  Cut by NYG in 2018, signed by Jaguars; signed as UFA by Redskins in '19 to 1-year deal
  • 2.33:  S Landon Collins  --  Signed as UFA by Redskins in '19 to 6-year, $84M deal
  • 3.74:  DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa  --  Out of NFL after 2016
  • 5.144:  S Mykkele Thompson  --  Out of NFL after 2016
  • 6.186:  WR/ST Geremy Davis  --  Waived in 2016 by NYG; Signed by Chargers and still on LAC roster
  • 7.226:  G/T Bobby Hart  --  Waived by NYG  in 2018; started all 16 games at RT for CIN in 2018

2016

  • 1.10:  CB Eli Apple  --  Traded to NO in 2018 for 2019 4th rounder + 2020 7th rounder
  • 2.40:  WR Sterling Shepard  --  Starting WR2
  • 3.71:  S Darian Thompson  --  Cut in Sep 2018; Signed to AZ Practice Squad, then signed by DAL in Nov '18
  • 4.109:  OLB B.J. Goodson  --  Started 13 games in 2018
  • 5.149:  RB Paul Perkins  --  Out of NFL after 2017
  • 6.184:  WR/TE Jerell Adams  --  Out of NFL after 2017

2017

  • 1.23:  TE Evan Engram  --  Starter
  • 2.55:  DT Dalvin Thompson  --  Starter
  • 3.87:  QB Davis Webb  --  Cut in Sep 2018, Signed to Jets PS
  • 4.140:  RB Wayne Gallman  --  Backup RB
  • 5.167:  DE Avery Moss  --  Out of NFL after 2017
  • 6.200:  OT Adam Bisnowaty  --  Out of NFL after 2017

2018

  • 1.2:  RB Saquon Barkley  --  Phenom, but not a QB
  • 2.34:  G Will Hernandez  --  Starter
  • 3.66:  DE Lorenzo Carter  --  4 sacks as a rookie
  • 3.69:  DT B.J. Hill  --  12 starts, 5.5 sacks as a rookie
  • 4.108:  QB Kyle Lauletta  --  Backup
  • 5.139:  DT R.J. McIntosh

2019

  • 1.6:  QB Daniel Jones  --  Next Hackenberg
  • 1.17:  DT Dexter Lawrence
  • 1.30:  CB Deandre Baker
  • 3.95:  DE Oshane Ximines
  • 4.108:  CB Julian Love
  • 5.143:  LB Ryan Connelly
  • 5.171:  WR Darius Slayton
  • 6.180:  CB Corey Ballentine
  • 7.232:  OT George Asafo-Adjei
  • 7.245:  DT Chris Slayton

 

 

Conclusion:  Several busts above, but its no contest.  Jerry Reese/Dave Gettleman did a far better job from 2015-present than Mike Maccagnan.  And Reese was fired during that span whereas Macc kept his job thru 5 drafts.

Very much upset, if he would have been fired when he should have been at minimum when bowles was let go we would not have to be dealing with this years picks and his fa moves.

"We're going to fire you but 1st we will let you wreck the team a bit more."

I thought this article was pretty good. Adds some quantitative analysis to the debate. I like the Net AV because it creates more of an apples to apples comparison amongst teams. Macc drafting at 6 should get a player than a team drafting 24. The Net AV tried to factor that in.

Nothing we didn’t already know. Good in the first. Terrible the rest of the way. Full draft he was the 8th worst at drafting.

The bright side is the Jets have stocked the CFL quite well the last few years.

And AAF.

 

https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/2019/02/10/after-profanity-laced-aaf-washout-christian-hackenberg-may-be-out-of-options/

After profanity-laced AAF washout, Christian Hackenberg may be out of options  gettyimages-630768338.jpg?w=2000&h=1200&

It’s not Christian Hackenberg’s fault that the Jets took him in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft.

If the Penn State alum had been selected with a pick more commensurate with his talent — say, a late third-day pick — or gone undrafted, the fact that he never threw a regular-season pass for the Jets wouldn’t be such a big deal. But Hackenberg, who was traded to the Raiders last May and released by Oakland less than a month later, did nothing to prove that he was ready for the NFL when he was actually in it, which made the Alliance of American Football a marginally interesting option. Perhaps Hackenberg could turn things around in a league with less imposing defensive competition and at least start to show a workable NFL skill set.

That was the hope, anyway. But based on his AAF debut, Hackenberg may be at the end of the road. In the Memphis Express’ 26-0 loss at the hands of the Birmingham Iron (love these World Football League-style names), he completed just 10 of 23 passes for 87 yards and an interception.

Moreover, he kept throwing profanity during his less-than-incendiary performance (warning: NSFW language abounds):

It’s nobody else’s fault but Hackenberg’s if he can’t complete a simple RPO, or if he throws late into a cabal of defenders, or his dropback makes him look like your Uncle Frank after too many brews at the July 4 barbecue. This is, quite simply, a quarterback who does not appear to be ready for anything approaching professional football, and while that’s unfortunate, it’s also the reality of things. Perhaps the worst second-round pick in NFL history has nowhere to go from here if he can’t do something to improve his performance.

And AV has lots of flaws.  Most notably, it doesn't do a good enough job of taking into account position importance. 

For instance, in 2010, Sione Pouha received the highest AV Grade on the team.  No NT should ever receive the highest grade on a team, especially a team that went 11-5.

This quote from the article was funny:

Quote

Of course, Maccagnan did have some good fortune in his favor when it came to the first round. The average Jets first round pick over this span was made at 8.8 overall, the second-best first round positioning in the league behind only Chicago.

Well that's a positive way to spin it.  "Good fortune" gave us a great draft position.  Because its always a great sign for a GM that you're always picking in the top 10, lol.

Good article.  It really shows how inept we are.  Notice as well that teams like NE and New Orleans, despite drafting near the end of every round due to continued succes, somehow manage to acquire a lot of expected AV (likely through trades and comp draft picks).   Yet somehow we manage to have less expected AV (nevermind the fact that we end up being negative after the actual draft) than they do, despite drafting in the top 10 almost every season.  It's just mind blowing how this could be called a rebuild.  At the very least, before Darnold we should have been close to the Browns in terms of expected AV.

Idzik couldn't draft either, but at least he was competent enough in stockpiling draft picks.  Mac is literally amongst the worst GMs in our entire history when you factor everything in together: The bad drafting, the stupid and bloated contracts to bad FAs, the opportunity cost lost etc etc.

Mac’s drafts up until he got ridiculously lucky in 2018 with Sam were all disastrous.

 

The worst part is he was refusing to admit scrubs like Lee had to go.  C-ya

Would like to see how they fared and I think the commentary on their picks could be enjoyable?

They went 50-14 and won 2 Super Bowls during the Macc tenure.  I won't find it very enjoyable ripping on their draft choices in that context.
