Wow cant believe this. A totally lost season from teh onset and we still get 7 Wins. How can this sh*tty team have won 7 games. They should have lost today, against the Giants, against the Texans, against the Bills,  against the Eagles, against Wash.  At best they should have won only 2-3 games and had the 2nd pick.  Morons.

yeah i miscounted. worst is 12. thnx

The Jets took AVT at #14, Jermaine Johnson at #26, Breece Hall at #36.  Undoubtedly, three of the best young players on the team.

Honestly, it has rarely mattered where the Jets pick.  They took Zach and Becton higher than all those guys and now they’re looking to move on from both those players.  

If JD can’t find a player at #12 to help this team then screw ‘em.  It won’t in the slightest be due to their draft position IMO.

This. There will be a difference maker at 12. It just comes down to making the right pick. Not every elite player is drafted in the top 5, actually most elite players aren’t taken that high. There may also be a trade down opportunity at 12. The opportunity to get better will be there, it’s up to JD to make it happen.

9 months ago the Jets took Will McDonald at #15.  We watched WR’s Zay Flowers and Jordan Addison go at #22 and #23.

I wish the JETS had drafted later last year.  Maybe they would have been forced to “settle” for one of those guys.

Cope city. Statistically your odds of landing a blue chip player are significantly higher the higher you pick. Falling out of the top ten is a disaster.

This is a bad team on offense.  There will undoubtedly be players available in the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s that will upgrade the roster.  Whether it’s an OT, WR, OG, etc. it’s simply about picking the right guys, not where the Jets pick.

Can you believe that the ravens think that drafting in the 20s every year is a sustainable way to win ?

suckers. 
 

The thing to do is lose.

They have a competent coaching staff that develops players. So do the Steelers and Packers. 

We need guys who are great right away because this regime is incapable of coaching players up. 

🤡

They are picking there becasue they are good with a good coach and good gm.   We stink all year long when it counts and lose multiple games we should win and then compound it by wining late .

The Jets have consistently drafted high with inordinately poor results.  They’ve flopped on 3 different QBs in the Top 5 of the Draft with three different GMs in the past 20 years.  They’ve found better guys at 14, 26, 36 than they did at 2, 3, 5, 11, etc.

They left better guys on the board again last year at #15 who at this point would have been very, very helpful to have on offense (Zay Flowers, Smith-Njigba, Jordan Addison, La Porta, etc.) To be clear, I do think Will McDonald will become a good starter here eventually.  But he wasn’t the right pick.

Good teams succeed no matter where they pick. It’s about the PICKER and the coaches….not the Draft position. JMHO.

You may be right overall from a simplistic view. Like drafting #5 is better than drafting at #30.

But you're not considering the difference between 6-12 is fairly minor.

I mean yeah.  But you pick high enough you can also trade down for an enormous package.  Other than 2021….We’re never even in position to do that.

Forget about results.  The draft is all i have left.

Handing the Pats MHJ was not minor though.

In this draft I think it’s pretty major. Off the top of my head there are eight players that are a cut above the rest of the class, and now we’re likely picking in no man’s land. 

Williams

Maye

Daniels

Alt 

Fashanu

Harrison

Nabers

Odunze

Depends on the year, and the guy making the picks. I’m terrified we’ll take a TE now, in this spot, because we whiffed on this past year’s great class.

We would have taken McDonald at 22 or 23.

This is assuming all those guys are picked ahead of us. 

That virtually never happens like we think it does. Teams fall in love with players up and down the board. 

I GUARANTEE that if we picked #5, everyone would be cursing that there's only 4 good players, or if we picked #7, that theres only 6 good players. 

This happens every year on the board no matter where we pick.

Does it seem like a Patriots thing to do to take a WR at 2?

I bet they trade it down for a haul, stock up on picks for a new coach to have ammo for a few years.

My biggest issue was dropping back two sports and losing out on the tackle. Unless someone falls we don’t expect I would mind reading back a little recouping our second.  Like you said you can find good players in the teens early 20’s
