    That would be the ideal trade down. Will enable us to draft Jamar Chase and then the best OL prospect with the Seahawks pick.

    I get it, but spending money to keep any of these players would have been a complete waste considering we hired a head coach that set the whole franchise back at least two or three years. Williamson and McClendon were casualties of that, we didn’t let them walk for fun. The only guy we actually let walk that could have maybe made a difference was Davis and again, what is one linebacker going to do when you have an entire roster completely void of talent and a coach that has no idea what he’s doing?

    I would add Robbie Anderson. That is the only fault I have with Douglas so far. Letting him walk for nothing hurt Darnold progression and the team.

    Keeping Anderson would have done close to nothing for Sam and this team. We’d still be moving on and we’d most likely be releasing Anderson to avoid the cap hit.

    You can do this for every team though, lots of players for one reason or another end up on other teams that make playoffs.

    You think every team in playoffs is made up of drafted and developed home grown players?

    When Jets make playoffs next year the list of players is going to be formerly of Broncos, Giants, Titans, Saints....etc

    Fucking Todd McShay...that toolbag does not know anything. If I ever went with his hunches on anything, I'd be a broke person

    He REALLY set himself to be ridiculed on this one specifically if it doesn't work out though.

    This is unusually absolute language, and he's telling you he knows more than everyone else because Douglas is his buddy.

    Rams look pretty homegrown. I get it the NFL is constantly in flux. Some of those players on that list played horribly for the Jets (Buster Skrine) How much of that was on the coaches and how much on the players. The Jets aren't making the playoffs next year. They need to build up the team and with Darnold that might take a little while. If its not Darnold no rookie QB coming out is that good that will be available to us.

    Our "talent" development has been just as bad as our drafting. We haven't had real coach-GM cohesion in the draft since Mangini was around. I think Mangini heavily influenced who was drafted because he put the players drafted in the right position to succeed. Bizarre that it's been 12-13 years since that was the case..

    Mangini was a good talent evaluator, but a terrible inflexible coach.
    He didn’t put anyone in a position to succeed, which is why he was canned.

    how he treated well regarded vets who he deemed a threat to his rule was very Gase like. Similar personalities.

    Big reason you see talented ex-Jets on other teams is our revolving door of GMs.

    Personally I don’t get the attitude that GMs only want the players they brought on.
    Narrow thinking imo, who cares where the talent came from.

    He made Victor Hobson and Bryan Thomas serviceable 3-4 linebackers. He drafted and made effective use of Brad Smith, Leon Washington, Drew Coleman, Eric Smith, Dwight Lowery, Sione Pouha (didn't draft Pouha) along with obviously the big hits in Revis, Harris, Mangold, DBrick and Keller.

    He did some of what you said but the offenses were also tailor made for jelly-arm Pennington the first two years with the dual possession receivers in Coles/Cotchery. He built those AFCCG teams and probably has better regular seasons than Rex does it he's still here (although likely not the same postseason success).

    Mangini was curmudgeon and tried to build New England south. And it obviously got the better of him as he got fired. But he knew how to draft for what he wanted to do and fit those players in correctly. Always hated that he moved my username guy though.
