    Sheldon Richardson:

    Everyone thought this was Idzik's only trophy after he won DROY. Sheldon was caught multiple times for marijuana and suspended 4 games. After pledging he wouldn't do anything wrong again, a few days later he rides 143 mph in a car with a 12 year old, a gun in the car, and evading a police officer.

    Dee Milliner:

    Had a horrible rookie season until the last month. Was injured in training camp when he came back. Just a couple games into the season was placed on Season ending IR after injuring himself again on a special team play. Came back this offseason looking decent and then injures himself again injuring his wrist while trying to jam a WR.

    Geno Smith:

    Was sucker punched by a backup LB. Also really sucked in his first 2 seasons.

    Calvin Pryor:

    Had a worse rookie season than Dee Milliner. Recently injured his pinkie in practice.

    Jalen Saunders:

    Released from the team and went to the saints. Became a solid punt returner for the team.

    IK Enemkpali:

    After Sheldon Richardson went down, most people saw IK as Idzik's new only trophy. A late draft pick who has showed great burst off the line and has produced in his limited snaps. A prospect that many Jets fans were happy about. Then he suddenly lost half a brain and sucker punched the starting QB over a couple bucks.

    Tahj Boyd:

    He's Tahj Boyd.

    So now that Jalen Saunders has been suspended ANOTHER 6 games (on top of his original 4) for violating the NFLs substance abuse program--what's the grand total of games supended by Idzik's picks?

    Saunders- 10

    Sheldon - 4 (likely more to come)

    Enunwa - 4

    IK -4

    22 games. So far.

    Well done their Johnny.

    You left out the part about how Pryor is rapidly becoming one of the Jets' best defensive players and one of the best SSs in the NFL.

    Idzik drafted Jalen Saunders over Martavis Bryant. I can't imagine Rex signed off on that one since he loves Clemson and his son went to school there.

    I didn't leave anything out. I was talking about how many games the players he picked have been suspended.

    But while you mention it, 2 really good players out of 19 picks is awful.

    I'm sure this is what you really meant, and you're correct.

    You called it early with a number of other people.

    Although that jackoff al_toon_88 or whatever his nick is deserves to drown in diarrhea for calling Sheldon "DRob 2.0".

    Even his free agent signings were a joke....Mike Goodson gun charges and Winslow suspended for peds and jerked off in a Target parking lot

    Didn't we use every pick knowing there's not enough roster space instead of packaging picks and moving up in the later rounds?

    Brilliant- 3 7th round picks, that we don't even have roster space for. Yes you can hit on an unknown late founder but the percentages say those picks are more valuable to move up to another round where the chances of a single successful pick are greater.

    Pryor is legit though. Once the rexperiment stopped and we put him in his proper position he's been awesome.
    Joe McKnight, coples and Pryor all put in the wrong spot almost ruining development

    What was it Saunders was a cross between. A pit bull and a terrier or some shit? They needed a big, route running, pass catching WR. 3 wr taken and the one that stuck did so because he's a better blocker than any TE on the roster. As good as Richardson and Pryor are. The way they burned all of those picks on nonsense is unforgivable.

    It was an awful use of resources. Either trade up or trade for picks in future drafts.
