JetNation Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Because of some of the drafts turned in by John Idizk and Bill Parcells, the Jets 2017 class is far from their worst, but was still largely a disaster. Of the nine players chose, only two remain. S Jamal Adams (Rd 1; 6th overall) Grade: A Adams has been as good as advertised since coming to the Jets. Recently named to his second consecutive pro bowl, Adams is one of the best defensive players in the NFL. Adams has shown he can cover against the pass, stuff the run and get to the quarterback. In 2019, Adams improved in virtually every statistical category according to pro-football reference. Even given his play, Adams could be sent packing this offseason if the Jets prefer a couple of premium picks over a massive pay raise. S Marcus Maye (Rd 2; 39th) Grade: B Maye appeared in every single game as a rookie and in the eyes of some onlookers outperformed Adams. He missed 10 games in year two with multiple injuries but will start his 16th game of the season for the second time in three years against the Bills this Sunday. Often acting as a deep safety in Gregg Williams’ defense, Maye has been quiet for much of the season, but that’s due more to scheme than ability. Maye is a very good player who teams were reportedly trying to deal for at the trade deadline earlier this year. Maye is currently ranked 18th among 86 safeties by pro football focus among those with at least 300 snaps played. WR ArDaruis Stewart (Rd 3; 79th) Grade: F Failed GM Mike Maccagnan showed no backbone on this pick and went with a player his offensive coordinator pounded the table for. Just a year later, Stewart was gone and is no longer in the NFL. WR Chad Hansen (Rd 4; 141st) Grade: F This was another huge blunder by Maccagnan. This was a deep draft at cornerback and Maccagnan could have had a better one in this spot as we mentioned at the time right here. Hansen is currently a practice squad player for the Houston Texans. TE Jordan Leggett (Rd 5; 150th) Grade: F Leggett battled some injuries with the Jets before getting dumped this offseason and has spent all of 2019 on Tampa Bay’s practice squad. OLB Dylan Donahue (Rd 5, 181st) Grade: F Donahue was a small school project who bombed in his short time in the NFL. Multiple issues with driving while intoxicated led to his early release and he hasn’t been able to get back in to the league since. RB Elijah McGuire (Rd 6, 188th) Grade: D McGuire showed promise at times with the Jets but was let go by the team this season. A multi-dimensional back with physical limitations, he could still carve out a role on an NFL roster. McGuire is currently on Andy Reid’s practice squad in Kansas City. DB Jeremy Clark (Rd 6, 197th) Grade: F Clark appeared in two games on special teams before being let go and is currently out of the league. CB Derrick Jones (Rd 6, 204th) Grade: F Despite all the athletic talent in the world, Jones never found a way to stick in the NFL. He started one game for the Jets two seasons ago and actually held his own, but that would be his one and only start as a Jet. Grabbing a multiple time pro bowler and a high level starter in Adams and Maye prevent this class from being categorized with many of the train wrecks from the past, but the class is still littered with blown picks and missed opportunities. Here’s to hoping things get better once Joe Douglas starts calling the shots at this year’s draft.

Jets723 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The Stewart and Hansen picks were truly awful. With a third AND fourth round pick you should at least be able to get a serviceable player. Failing on both is just terrible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harris Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 We simply need a couple good drafts in a row to ever turn this around. It is so damn frustrating looking at recent past drafts - the 2017 class should be the main contributors - good young talent on rookie contract salaries and it's all just wasted and is why the team is hollow. Adams is a Stud. Marcus Maye is solid but even him, all I think about is passing on Dalvin Cook to take Maye - and that leads to desperately signing Leveon Bell to a contract taking up half the salary cap...all consequences of bad drafting and the overcompensating to fill holes created by it. Joe Douglas...please be the answer. Hit on a draft, stack a couple of them and don't waste what should be Darnold's upcoming golden years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachEY Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Jamal Adams is a D when you consider we passed on two QBs leading us to use 4 high picks on one who hasn’t been as good as the other two we could have had for one pick.

I think Adams is overrated, but he’s undoubtedly a good player. That said, Watson/Mahommes and a 1, and 3 twos certainly would have been a far better situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You draft them in the 2nd/3rd round then let them walk after their rookie deals end. The Vikings have an elite RB on a cheap contract for 2 more years. Our mega expensive RB can't get handed the ball without being hit immediately because we didn't build an OL first. Spend money and high picks on OL. Go cheap on RBs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since they're completely incompetent they'll take advice from anybody. Like they did with Peyton Manning prior to hiring Gase. And like they did when Paul Tagliabue told them to hire Herm. Or like they did when Korn Ferry told them to hire Idzik. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
