Is there anyone at all who liked this pick at the time they made it? The fact that so many 2025 mocks have the Jets drafting a DE should tell you everything you need to know about the McDonald pick. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Yes and the irony is that Huff was a UDFA the Jets chose not to resign, and Douglas and Saleh spent a top 15 pick on a guy who really can only play 30% of the snaps without being a liability. I mean, if what you think you need is a 1-dimensional player-- Huff was already in hand and pretty reasonable to afford.
afford? He was going for top dollar…the jets would have been stuck with Huff at the amount he’s at now, when you got “Huff” like production for a way less cost.
Eh it’s not though considering a 15th overall draft pick is worse than a short term $15 million/year deal.
This is poor my dude. 1. Nobody likes the pick, ever. The Jets fan base is 2 steps away from total self loathing. But that goes for most fan bases in terms of not liking the pick, but there are seriously Jet fans who still hate picking Darrell Revis because he was an ass hole. 2. There's about 1000 mock drafts out there. I could find probably 5 mocks picking almost every position. I personally have seen maybe one picking DE, more DT. But what does that have to do with Mcdonald? Not an edge coming back from an achilles and a FA who held out half the year? I feel like I'm defending the kid, he was decent this year and I didn't care about the pick (not excited, but not upset). But the Jet fan thought process where everything/one sucks because our team sucks is exhausting.
I know this is some rogue website but it seems pretty true to be. https://section215.com/eagles-coach-confirms-veteran-benched-playoffs-01jhk3w2jn0z Amazing fall from grace. I do believe that Ulbrich was good at putting Huff in a position to succeed.
He made plays, and he performed better than most of the defensive players this year. He had a good year, that's better than I can say for most of the team.
