He's too short and hasn't played. He's a classic Jets reach, folks. Doesn't mean he can't be successful, but the Jets' track record on picks like this is not good.
When I first heard the pick my reaction was "Who?". However, after watching some tape on McDougle I think this kid can play. Guy is a total ballhawk who seems to have good instincts and is extremely intelligent and beloved in the locker room from everything I've read. I think he's got a really good shot at replacing Wilson at corner.
Competition competition competition. We've got a lot of guys with potential, even Wilson has potential, so let the best man play.
*BUMP* Yeah, - we figured it all out,..........will probably be included in the next round of cuts. 1) Yet another bad John Idzik draft pick (3rd rounder). 2) With Terry Bradway running the scouting department back then. 3) Always hurt. I f--king hate this guy & hate Idzik for the pick. Couldn't believe his name was called in the 3rd round of 2014.
This is why every beat reporter from now until judgement day needs to follow up every "he was the best player on our board" GM post-pic comment with the following : "And, for the record, you are positive that your board is not a piece of dogshit, correct?"
This forum digging up needs to happen more often. Too many people on here talking big game's and are nowhere to be found months later.
Even the infamous story on why they drafted him stunk from the very beginning. Sad thing is..when he plays he's a decent player. Nothing special. Similar to Marcus Williams..and might be a step quicker. But the injuries are just never ending...it was the same deal in college.Let him go move Randy Edsall to tears as an assistant with some Conference USA team.He's way too soft.
The logic behind the Dex pick is exactly the same logic that underpins every episode of the original Start Trek series: Logic fueled by Hallucinogenic Drugs.
Grabbed the next Earl Thomas in McDoodle, the next Gronk in Amaro, the next Russell Wilson in Vaj Boyd, and the next Mike Tyson in I.K. Ekempunaicakaiaji. solid draft from Izdick
i Liked this pick at the time. Unlike most of the Idzik picks which I hated. I thought he had promise.
He may develop into a first ballot HOF cornerback but, what I do know is, he's a dog shit special teamer.
Why draft him in the 3rd round though? He was projected to go in the 6th. Even if we waited one more round to get him, the pick wouldn't get the scrutiny it did. I mean theres liking a guy and then theres reaching several rounds ahead to get this guy. Even when healthy, the guy doesn't look like a starter by any means. Picks like this turned me against Idzik fast.
