Will the Jets have a Top 10 defense? (that’s a trick question, they already have one)

Yes, it does matter.  Picking higher in Rd 2 can very well be the difference between a Dalvin Cook or a Stephen Hill.  

we haven't hit on a 2nd rounder in like a decade.  doesn't matter where we pick

A lot of people here seem to like Elijah Moore despite his early struggles, no?

You can't let the franchise's history impact your judgment on the importance of draft capital.  Once we DO start hitting on some of those picks, WHERE you pick does indeed matter.

And if we're never going to hit on our picks, then might as well close up shop and contract the franchise.  There would be no hope regardless.  Until such time as the team is contracted, I will continue to assume that accumulating a lot of picks tends to be a good thing, and also assume that higher picks are always better than lower picks.

I wish for this every day so I can stop rooting for the Jets. 

Though I imagine it would be the end of the road for JN, too, and that would be an actual travesty.

of course we like them a few months after we draft them.   it's in year 2 and 3 we realize we made a mistake.

 

that's why giving up the 3 second rounders for darnold not that big of a deal.

Love it. Hat off to Ulbich.

 Now 20 points through 8 quarters still creates a losing football team. 

Let Ulbich run the ofense as well. Could he possibly do any worse than LePuke.

The D is playing with rookie backups starting for other rookies, and everyone is in the first year of the system. Not a bad start at all; in fact it's pretty damn good. Once the O gets going, even a little is more than none, the team will look far more respectful.
