http://www.forbes.com/sites/prishe/...orst-nfl-teams-in-drafting-collegiate-talent/ As Cerveza pointed out, it is an arbitrary grading system, but it was an interesting read nonetheless and shows that we've been one of the better drafting teams over the last few years.
Jake Steinberg @Steiny31 Per Cimini, one of the reasons Clinkscales left the #Jets was because he was frustrated he wasn't given a bigger say on draft picks.
This guy was asked right after the draft if he was going to the Raiders and he denied it vehemently. Do any of the Jets Brass tell the truth? LMAO
Honestly..not really a big deal IMO. If he is responsible for the Jets' most recent drafts, I say see ya and good luck on the East Bay. The Jets recent drafts have been so-so.
Jets traded up a lot. You trade up you get a starter. You lose low round picks that normally amount to nothing. And we're number two since his list comes down to % starters. There's a reason nobody has an answer to this shit yet. It's because it's way too complicated mathematically. Much too complicated to be broken down in any meaningful way by some random guy writing some random article; pulling a few numbers out of the sky and calling it art. I think we've drafted quite well in recent years. How well compared to the rest of the league? Wouldn't know how to begin answering that in any quantifiable way. Luckily, neither can this guy.
However, by trading away mid-round picks you can lose out on the good depth players. The Jets have pretty good starters at most positions, but depth is a real issue. If they suffer any injuries, they tend to suffer more than teams that value depth. You could line up the Jets and Pats starters head to head, and make a good case that the Jets are stronger at a few more positions. But if you have to take the starter out of the equation for whatever reason, the Pats have, generally been better prepared to fill the void.
Yes, but the Jets are by far and away #1 in the league at drafting Matt Slauson. Seriously, who can compete in that area?
