You have the 2nd pick in a draft of all time Jets players, Namath went #1, who do you pick?

For the purpose of this poll, we are only including players who spent the majority of their careers with the Jets

[JetsFanatic]

Winston Hill. Keeping Namath healthy he, playing by todays rules, would be an unbelievable QB.

[redlichtie]

I wouldn’t have Namath No1 personally….. I know, sacrilegious but I’m an 80’s child and so I can’t really speak of the likes of Randy Rasmussen or Winston Hill as it’s before my time

No1 for me, has to be Klecko

No 2 is a toss-up between Revis or Al Toon

other top 10 picks: Brick, Gastineau, Mo Lewis, Jeff Criswell

 

 

OK maybe not Criswell but I believe Bruce Smith has him in his all-time Jet line-up ?

 

always loved James Hasty too as an all-time favourite but he had possibly his best seasons in KC sadly 

 

[the Claw]

What’s the game? What are we drafting them for? 

[section314]

Klecko. Easy choice. 

[Kolchak]

Hill for me as well.  A standing, healthy Namath makes everyone on on offense better.

[Scott Dierking]

Brett Favre #2, because Namath's knees are bad.

[TokyoJetsFan]

60 f'ing years and we had no QB remotely close to making this list outside of Namath. If it was the whole NFL I wouldn't be annoyed, but our own team list?  We all know why we have sucked for so long, but this is mind boggling if you really think about it.

[Larz]

Some guy that scored 100 TDs works for me

[Scott Dierking]

Favre 2 

Klecko 3

W Walker 4

Marvin Powell 5

Mangold 6

R Lott 7

J Abraham 8

Revis 9

Riggins 10

Marko Cavka. He only had one bad play ever.

These players were on the Jets. You DID NOT say they had to be drafted by the Jets.

[sackdance]

I mean, c'mon ... #99

 

 

[Origen]

Mangold over Mawae

[TuscanyTile2]

Give me the bowling ball with butcher knives.

Weren't James Hasty and Erik McMillen rookies the same year?  I remember thinking we had something with those 2.

[rangerous]

i went with revis mainly because he dominated his position for quite a few years.  klecko would've been one of my top choices too

Disagree. Mawae played much longer,  was elite the entire time, and was a ******* nasty badass.

 

If he played during this era of outside zone, uptempo offenses, he's a first ballot HOFer and the best OC in the league by far. 

[UntouchableCrew]

I feel like we need more context as to what this is for/what we're trying to do.

That said, I picked Revis because in his prime he is the best Jet ever at his position.

[rex-n-effect]

Don't change a thing. You take Zach Wilson at #2 .

[FootballLove]

Namath to Chrebet woulda been sweet....

[BigRy56]

Tyler Linderbaum

[Bronx]

[OilfieldJet]

Where are all the "we need playmakers" guys? I took Maynard.

Yes they were, in ‘88…both 3rd round picks, we also drafted a CB in the 2nd called Terry Williams from the mighty Bethune-Cookman!!(he busted, of course) and John Booty was a useful depth DB in the later rounds.
That year we showed some real promise and Mark Gastineau was tearing it up after 7 games leading the league in sacks and iirc even Marty Lyons was playing well. For a while it felt like we had something but in the end beating the Giants and knocking them out if the playoffs in week 16 was the high water mark.

Hasty was a great player, vastly underrated…McMillan flashed fur a couple of years making some big plays but Bruce Coslet didn’t take to his riverboat gambler approach and he was  sidelined …shame 

[kevin45]

Namath, Hill, Maynard, Revis, Klecko. Gets tough after that. Gun to my head, Mawae is next.

I took our HOF tackle...Hill.  Too bad we didn't have more worthy O linemen to protect Namath.  His knees don't lie.

[Saul Goodman]

Easy call, #24

[JayKwaz]

Klecko

[Fantasy Island]

Can't believe Mevi$ got votes, Maynard by a mile.

[JustInFudge]

1 player in the history of the NFL made the pro-bowl at every position on the Dline and that's who I'm taking 2nd overall. 

[Claymation]

I decided to go with Maynard. I wanted to select Kecko, feel like he has been shafted in getting into the Hall, but Maynard was Lance Alworth/Lynn Swan special.

[bla bla bla]

Was gonna go with Brick but he wasn't an option. Went Hill instead. Could easily take Klecko or Gastineau though.

[Warfish]

I pick Al Toon.

I appreciate why others would pick other players, completely.

But for me, it's always been Al Toon.

Nick Mangold is my #2

Wayne Chrebet my #3.

Curtis Martin my #4.

Joe Klecko my #5.

And no, I do not care that they're not "the best" Jets.  They're MY Jets.

I simply cannot redact emotion from my choice (another reason why I'm a horrible fantasy football player, lol).
