C-Mart28 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 While I am not as familiar with the past drafts as some of the members on this board, based on potential I would have to go with the 2006 Draft. I know its recent and all but look at it, 8 of the 10 picks have already contributed to the team in some form already. The starting LT, C, and future fulltime starting QB, all of whom have only improved with time, and will continue to do so with the new talent placed around them. Then there is Washington, who could take over the starting RB duties in a few years, at the very least an offensive weapon. Eric Smith at the least will make for a great backup, if not the fulltime starter by the end of training camp. Brad Smith has disappointed a little so far, but considering he is a QB becoming a WR there has to be some adjustment time, though if there is no improvment this year, than I'd call that experiment a failure (though playcalling is part of it). Coleman and Posciak are decent special teamers and depth, nothing special. Then Titus Adams in the 7th rd, no big loss there. The only real black eye is Schlegel in the third round who we all admit is a bust, but that is one bad pick out of ten, pretty good percentage. It is a little too early to tell how this draft class will stand up over the test of time, but 3 starters and some valuable roleplayers give this draft a lot of potential to be the one we build the franchise off of for years to come. Hopefully anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hands down it is 1977- Powell, Walker in round 2, Your's truly in round 4, Klecko in 6, Kevin Long in 7, Dan Alexander in 8, Matt Robinson in 9? You gotta be kidding (although they did have a great number of picks-I don't know why). That is a haul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetscode1 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 That was too painful for a detailed analysis but 2000 was the best...four first rounders was fun to think about before the draft and getting five starters was a good bounty. The worst is either 1990 or 1980. Both had complete busts at the top and it got progressively worse from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehands Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 The worst of recent times is the 1998 Dorian Boose fiasco. Fabini was one of the best picks in the last 15 years by the Jets for what he was and where he was picked, but the rest of the draft was complete crappola.

Stonehands Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 The 1977 draft was the best, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicBizkit87 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 By far 1998 was the worst... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardJetsFan Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I loved last year with David Harris and Darrell Revis, Harris can be a Ray Lewis type of IMLB and Revis has the talent and potential to be a A.Samuel, Ty Law type of CB for years to come. I also love the 2006 draft with a potential franchise LT in Ferguson, a future pro bowl center in Mangold with a play-maker in Leon Washington who we stole in the 4th round. Lets not forget Kellen, who knows, he may be the best QB out of Cutler, Young or Leinart, only time will tell-Even if Kellen never makes it as a starter, im still in love with the 2006 draft. When I look at the year we drafted Robertson, I just wanna turn off the computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardJetsFan Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 By far 1998 was the worst... lol 2002 was also pretty bad, other than Baker, the rest seem to be backup type of players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSGold12 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 1977 was the best...no question about it. 3 pro bowlers (Powell, Walker, Klecko), 2 solid RBs (KLong, Direking), a 10 year starting OG (Alexander), and a QB we traded for a #1 and a #2 (Matt Robinson) not to mention 2 undrafted FAs in Kenny Schroy (starter at S) and Bruce harper (best 3rd down back weve ever had). The worst? So many to choose from. While 1998 was awful and 1997, 1995, 1987, and 1975 made me want to puke, IMO the worst ever was 1986. The ONLY guy to even make the damn team was 1st round bust Mike haight who was drafted as a LT and never played, was later moved to G where he started about 10 games and then was cut.

raffyD Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 The worst was the year we drafted a FB in the 1st round (1987) with 1986 a close 2nd. The best . . . I have no idea but there were some decent drafts. Looking at that list made me realize how few quality players come out of a draft and makes what this team did last year seem like a good idea.

Ghost Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I wish I can 1977 but I was born in 1990. LOL I'll have to go with last years. Revis and Harris are going to be sick for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangreenman Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 BEST: 2000 - LC, Pennington, Abraham, and Ellis. WORST: 2005 - 1 - trade for Doug Jolley 2 - Mike Nugent 3 - Justin Miller 4 - Sione Pouha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 A good part of the core of Walt Michaels' 81-82 playoff teams were built in the 1977 draft. That was a really good draft. The draft up until 1991 or 1992 was 11-12 rounds not the 7 rounds that you see today, so there were alot more players chosen. If the the draft was 7 rounds in 1977 guys like Alexander and Robinson may not have even been picked. 1974 may have very well been one of the worst drafts of all time. 21 picks and the best may very well have been punter Greg Gantt or Godwin Turk. 1986: Just brutal with Mike Haight. I don't even think their second pick Doug Williams made it out of training camp. 1987: Just as brutal. 1998: Would be a total washout if it wasn't for Fabini.

#27TheDominator Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned '79. It's probably not the best, but it should be in the conversation. 1/2 of the Sack Exchange, 2 starting DBs and the starting MLB? Gastineau was an absolute steal in the second and IIRC if he didn't get trotted out at some all-star game we probably could have had him later.
