John Idzik could not draft, even saying that he had guys like enunwa, dozier, aboushi, Richardson and winters kicking around in the league. However Idzik had a plan, he purged the end of the tann

Mccagnan.  5 drafts and 4 years of complete ineptness is unrivaled.

Was it dumb?  The Jets needed a QB and they got the one that was considered to be the top in the draft, in the 2nd round.  And, you could make the argument that he was in fact the best QB in that draft.  It's either Geno or Mike Glennon.  It didn't work out, but it really wasn't a bad draft selection.  The gripe should be that he didn't recognize the issues once on the team, and take Bridgewater or Carr over Calvin Pryor the following year.

Right. It wasnt bad. It was terrible. Not going to revisit the horror of Geno. His career tells you all you need to know.

The inability to discern between a bad decision and an okay decision that doesn’t pan out is on you here.

Actually it was on Idzik who ultimately lost his job for drafting this clown In the first place. But you go right on saving face.

Mac because he got so long and up until the day he was fired had ardent defenders about what a good job he was doing. Of course, the next day, said ardent defenders moved on trashing the hell out of him. His damage to not only the roster, but the fragile minds of the SOJF is irreparable

The best player he passed on in the first round was Ha Ha Clinton Dix. It was not a “loaded draft.”

That's a weird way to spell Brandin Cooks. And Devante Adams. And Allen Robinson. And Dee Ford. And Ju'Wuan James.

Adams is the only one of those to make it to a second contract with the team that drafted him, and even he looked like a bust for two years.

And in true fan like thinking it doesn't mean the pick was bad.

Just that it didnt work out, that the player didnt develop as in the case of most QBs drafted.

Hard to argue given he was projected as the 1st QB to be picked and Idzik passed on him in the 1st believing he would be able to grab him later in the 2nd.

Sucks that Geno shlt the bed

I chose John Idzik only because Maccagnan landed Darnold

That’s like lighting your house on fire and taking credit for putting it out . 
 

MAC takes HACK, who no one had in any mock drafts, passes on many QBs and then must trade 3 seconds. THEN.. the Giants and Browns pass on Darnold.

Please... where was the skill?  MAC sucks.

Yeah, that’s the reason... Despite Macc drafting a significantly worse QB in the 2nd round and still getting 3 more years.

There’s 0 evidence to support your position.

Probably has to be macc because he was brought in as a scouting expert with the expectation that he would draft well which he failed to do for the most part. Idzik was brought in as a numbers guy with the expectation that he would fix our horrific cap situation which he fully accomplished but fell short in other places.

12 picks.

12 picks in one of the most loaded drafts of all time.

Only one pick remains.

12.

Picks.

 

Indeed.  That said, the stockpile of picks were all backloaded.  He had 1 pick in each of the first three rounds.  Half of those 12 were in rounds 5+.  There were 4 6th rounders.  Once we reached our pick in the 4th, there were only two pro bowl players selected in the whole draft.  The Idzik 12 is completely overblown and with hindsight, you wouldn't do better than most of Macc's drafts with hindsight, unless you want to start making imaginary trades.

The Jets have never really had a "good" GM, but the current streak of bad GMs is pretty unbelievably bad. Like really, really bad, and that includes Parcells, who was a buffoon in the front office despite his obvious talents as a head coach.

But who was the worst?

It was Maccagnan. From his ruinous free agent signings, to his complete lack of talent assessment skills, to his complete bungling of every single draft he managed, to Hackenberg, to Pollite, to Gase, to passing over Mahomes and Watson, the list goes on. He drafted Darnold, that's it, and even that isn't a certainty to be a success story at this point. To cap it off, the team suffered five seasons of his buffoonery.

At least Tannenbaum had a few good years.

At least Idzik's damage was limited to two years.

Bradway was a close second for the all-time worst; Parcells was third.

What Idzik did in the last dradt he ran was freaking criminal.  With the amount of talent at skill positions in that draft, we took Calvin Pryor in the first  and Jace Amaro in the second with Davnte Adams, Jarvis Landry and Allen Robinson still undrafted. At lwast when Mac passed on the two QB's he picked a guy that isn't  selling insurance  right now

The Idzik 12 is a Manish troll job that grew legs. 90% of Idzik hate is based upon people’s inability to accept that Rex was terrible. So terrible, in fact, that he was the root cause of having to hire someone of Idzik’s caliber in the first place
