    Amen. Williams is good. He's not awesome. And he's at the position of least need. Fucking terrible when you have the next Von miller and Julio jones on the board.

    What a ridiculous concept. If you can get a perennial Pro-Bowler, you pick that player regardless of the position. BPA for blue chip players is the most important BPA.

    Why don't you think he should have been a top 10 pick. I completely understand not wanting the Jets to pick him, but this guy has more talent than virtually every other player. He was number 3 on my personal big board, though I never considered the Jets possibly picking him.

    White was picked next, you act like Williams has five years under his belt, there is absolutely nothing to say that White doesn't have ten times the career of Williams. Overhyped DE's from college with a two play highlight reel are some of the biggest busts in the draft every year.

    Once Mariota got picked, I doubt anybody wanted to be in that spot.

    As I said, White would have been nice, but I think Williams' potential, Mac couldn't pass up.

    You need to stop drinking. So you're calling White and Beasley the next Julio and Von Miller... Why weren't they picked in the first two slots?

    I can't believe all the bitching and moaning I'm reading about the Williams pick!!!

    The guy has been called the "best player in the draft" by scouts and many experts.
    Jets fans are never happy for anything!!!

    personally I would have chosen Cooper >>>> Williams, but I think White is overhyped. He's played one good year in college. Only one. Not worth the 6th overall, IMO.

    Will the best D in the League take us to the Playoffs? No doubt in my mind its got to be with Fitz or better. Lots of talent to waste otherwise

    I would have taken Cooper too if he was available, but Oakland probably really thought hard and went with a WR to help Carr.

    If you don't like the Williams pick, you need to try watching a football game. I'm convinced you don't even know what a football looks like.

    I'm sure that all of us who are "bitching and moaning" will be happy later, perhaps even tomorrow. We know with our rational minds that Mac did the right thing and it was a good or great pick. With our emotional side, we're pissed because we need a QB and many of us wanted Mariota or at least a WR. We're tired of all the 1st round picks going to the DL.

    Oh, people definitely complained. They wanted Star (who was great in his own right). I remember thinking, "I have no idea why we picked this guy, but if they picked him over Star, they HAVE to know something"

    You can probably find any player picked top 10 who "analysts" called the "best player in the draft", White went next, he's going to be a beast, Williams will slot in to what is already a top defensive line.
