I think the NFL site just died. I switched to CBS. It seems a decent enough back up option. Also gives a grade for each pick as they are taken.
Peterman gone...With 4 6's, I would take a flyer on Chad Kelly. Make him live with Josh McCown and do bible study.
Yea, I think he was jumping the gun here. Has the Idzick 12 already been forgotten? 12 picks 3 seasons ago and only one guy is still on the team, and that one guy wasn't taken in the 1st,2nd, 3rd 4th or 5th.
It's also a wildly inaccurate and stupid statement. This isn't even remotely close to the worst draft in franchise history. We got either the 1st or 2nd best player in the draft who also fills a big need. We got another S who should help stop all the long completions and completions to TEs and RBs over the middle that have plagued us for years. We got a good/decent TE prospect. We got a couple of good WR prospects that should give the team solid depth and plenty of targets for our young QBs. We still have picks that can be used to upgrade depth and STs. It may not be a home run, but it's a very solid draft. We knew we couldn't address all of our needs adequately in this draft. Yes, there are players that each of us would have liked to see the Jets draft and that we think could help the team. They didn't. We have to hope that they are right and that the players we got instead will be solid contributors, and that those other needs will get addressed next year.
I would like to have seen a home run hitter at the RB position. But the value it seems we got at WR is good. Also picked up an athlete at TE to compete with ASJ, who I'm reserving judgment on since he came in mid season. It seems like our scouting is picking up a bit and the FO is really sticking to their big board to aquire talent rather than fill holes, hope it pans out for us!
Maybe they want to name this the Fitzpatrick Picked Sixth Memorial Draft. But seriously...wait I'm being serious about the Jets?... I think this all about how much money they have to spend on picks, since the salaries are based on draft position. I hope so, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Also, are they so sure they're going to suck that they are hoping to get a prima donna wr to get attention in the media? Because they need to stockpile ol's not wr's. Ron
Kaaya might be gone be our next pick. I'd be fine taking a shot on him here considering we have 4 sixth round picks coming up.
People probably want extra picks in the first 3 rounds rather than the 6th...not all that complicated.
