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

[More Cowbell]

Wesley Walker. Not even close. 

[SAM SAM HE'S OUR MAN]

D'brickashaw , no question ; Mangold third .

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. 

How the hell that alone is not HOF worthy is mind-boggling, he had 20 sacks in a single season when that had rarely been done before and was always up around 8-10 a season, even got 7.5 as a NT in ‘85….there’s zero logic to it

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).

 People just don't know/remember just how great he was.

[IndianaJet]

i went with Gastineau mainly because I'm in an edge rusher kind of mood this offseason.

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. 

Okay then do you count his Seattle and Tennessee years or Mangold being only a Jet?

[Biggs]

Revis 1

Namath 2

Hill 3

I loved Biggs and he won a second SB with the Comanders (WTF) but I would probably go with Marvin Powell.

Yes, no, what? 

Mawae was a better center for a longer time than Nick. 

 

Mangold is a likeable dude, but Mawae was a nasty, mean, fast sob that would dominate today's game. Don't know what else to say.

I was wondering how far I had to get in the thread before someone felt Brick was worthy of a mention?  A shame it took as long as it did.

The guy missed one snap…

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 

 

WEAK.. Like saying I wouldn't take Babe Ruth because he was before my time.     

[Beerfish]

I don;t know enough about the old time jets like many here do.  Of the more recent guys, Revis

[TuscanyTile2]

I can’t decide between Brett Favre, Ronnie Lott, Art Monk and Jason Taylor.  

[freestater]

Without Matt Snell running left side all day behind Winston Hill, we don't have our only moment of glory. We would have a giant hole where our glory was supposed to be. Our glory hole, if you will. 

[Obrien2Toon]

McNeil 

[OtherwiseHappyinLife]

Jeff Criswell or Dave Cadigan, if only to see how fast Namath could run

Klecko is my favorite player but I went with Maynard. Maynard was fast and tough as hell.

[CSNY]

Gotta keep Joe upright so it Winston Hill over Brick as Winnie is a HOFer but Brick was excellent also

He may have been the most talented player the Jets ever drafted.   He was tough and played a tough game with athletic grace that’s rare.   Good call.

I love Al Toon, tough as nails, I grew up watching them.

Toon was not better than Maynard.   1 is in the HOF, 1 is not.   1 was named to the all time AFL team.  1 was the 1st receiver ever with 10,000 career receiving yards.  1 had 5 different season over 1,000 yards (in a shorter season) the other had 2.

This is no disrespect to Toon.  The man gave everything he had for his team, but he is not Maynard.

I saw both.  George Sauer Jr. was a better WR than Maynard.  Joe Namath made Maynard.  Homer Jones would have put up Maynard numbers with Namath.   Don Maynard was all pro 1 time.  He lead the league in recieving yards 1 time.  He lead the league in TD's 1 time.  He lead the league in receptins zero times.  Sauer had 3 1,000 yard seasons in a 6 year career.  

[Big Snell]

Anyone who didn't vote for Klecko, probably never saw him play.

Please stop.  Klecko was a great player in an era of unbelivably great defensive lineman.  He's a border line HOF player.

[Matt39]

If we're building a team for 2022 then probably John Abraham.
