KSJets Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Uh I can name two: Parcells drafted Lavernues Coles in Round 3 in 2000 and Dumbway drafted Jericho Cotchery in Round 4 in 2004. Look, a third round pick may not seem all that important but getting value in rounds 3-7 separates the good teams from the bad teams in the NFL. Jets passed up big strong players they could have stuck into the offensive and defensive lines. Ryan O'Callaghan, Gabe Watson, Jonathan Scott to name a few. Just how many rookies did you want starting on the OL this year??? And I think you just proved someone else's point when you mentioned Cotchery and Coles. It took several years for them to really turn it on. Criticizing Schlegel after only 7 games isn't fair to him IMO. I agree that a NT would have been nice...looking back on it now after seeing DRob struggle at times and his two backups go on the IR. I'm just not willing to pass judgement on a player after only 7 games in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hasty Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 In all my life, I have never seen this amount of attention on a third round draft pick. cough Askew cough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hasty Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 him and eric smith will both be wasted picks compared to what we could have had with those picks. Should have been Leonard Pope and Max-Jean Gilles no question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hasty Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Fair enough, but off the top of your head without looking can you name all the 3rd round picks Edwards/Dumbway made? Or even Parcells and Groh for that matter. Groh's only third round pick was Laverneous Coles. Not bad IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
