I never realized until this week how awful our drafting has been, 2002-2005 especially. After this off season, Vilma and Drob will probably be gone.If were lucky, for a couple of 3rd rounders. Drob was a disappiontment and Vilma I'll call an injury. All those picks and the only starters will be Rhodes, Baker, Nugent and Cotchery( I refuse to call Thomas a starter). How does this franchise give Bradway a salary STILL? Those who criticise Tangini should be careful. Their last 2 drafts have been much better. 2005 - New York Jets Rd Sel # Player Position School 2 47 Mike Nugent K Ohio State 2 57 Justin Miller CB Clemson 3 88 Sione Pouha DT Utah 4 123 Kerry Rhodes SS Louisville 5 161 Andre Maddox DB North Carolina State 6 182 Cedric Houston RB Tennessee 6 198 Joel Dreessen TE Colorado State 7 240 Harry Williams WR Tuskegee 2004 - New York Jets Rd Sel # Player Position School 1 12 Jonathan Vilma MLB Miami (Fla.) 3 76 Derrick Strait CB Oklahoma 4 108 Jerricho Cotchery WR North Carolina State 4 132 Adrian Jones T Kansas 5 143 Erik Coleman FS Washington State 6 178 Marko Cavka T Sacramento State 7 213 Darrell McClover LB Miami (Fla.) 7 234 Trevor Johnson DE Nebraska 7 235 Derrick Ward RB Ottawa (Kans.) 7 236 Rashad Washington DB Kansas State 2003 - New York Jets Rd Sel # Player Position School 1 4 Dewayne Robertson DT Kentucky 2 53 Victor Hobson LB Michigan 3 85 B.J.

Seriously. I can recognize only a few people they drafted during that time period by name and one of them is a current Jet (Wade Smith).
I knew it was bad, but I didn't see the full scope until the recent news of Vilma and Drob hit this week.
