Bugg Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Thought this on draft day; it hasn't changed my mind yet. Worry to me is Douglas is like Maccagnan in the sense he is at heart a scout, rather than a GM. He falls in love with a story, a find, a player than makes him think he's found a gem. And that also means he doesn't simply pick chalk. And Wilson/Jones is right there the example. Understand; having had a son that played D2, from sophomoore of HS year on, these players are matching up, lifting, running, every summer against players who are of the same level of talent. They're going to camps every month at colleges every summer, sometimes several . It's a winnowing. And Mac Jones did not end up at Alabama by mistake, and that goes for Wilson and BYU too. Wilson may look like a diamond in the rough, but Jones is the sure if unspectacular thing. A scout overthinks that, a GM figures out who is a given, and who is really a reach. You can overrate a player because again you start to think you are the smartest guy in the room rather than being sensible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two games, 8 solo tackles, zero PDs, zero INTs, zero sacks, zero QB hits. But, sure, they gotta find the secret ways to use him.

He was the first GM in decades that the Jets hired who was legitimately respected around the league and a desirable candidate. He also traded a Box Safety for two 1sts and a 3rd. You'll just have to forgive people like me who was in that category. Coming off Maccagnan, Douglas seemed like a breath of fresh air. It just hasn't worked out at all so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can overrate a player because again you start to think you are the smartest guy in the room rather than being sensible. This is why GMs tend to overvalue draft picks. If you look at the average return of a 5th round pick, any GM would consider it a no brainer to give up a 5th for Minshew still on his rookie deal. But like 80% of people think they are above-average drivers, 100% of GMs think they are above-average drafters. However, while a GM has to be pragmatic, he also has to be confident in his ability and player evals and not draft scared. A catch-22. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just hasn't worked out at all so far. For once we can’t blame the process here. Jets landed not one but two highly desirable candidates for their top jobs. Woody didn’t cheap out and he changed the reporting structure. It was everything we have been agitating for for years. JD shouldn’t be above criticism — and I maintain failing to have a backup plan behind Wilson is a pretty glaring unforced error — but do we really think someone better is walking through that door? This isn’t an overpromoted clown situation like Idzik or Macc. Plus Woody isn’t paying like 6 HC/GMs at same time. Personally I don’t think he should get a second chance to pick another QB high if Wilson absolutely craters this year but he’s safe until end next year at minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also liked the process by which Douglas seemed to arrive at a lot of his picks, too, highly valuing athleticism in the process. Just gotta pray Douglas learns some lessons from the last 2 drafts and nails it in 2022. But I'm not buying on Wilson until he shows me something, and if didn't nail the QB pick and sticks with the kid too long, the rest of the roster doesn't matter too much, and it's all over for Douglas.
