Well shit is Jalen Saunders still in the NFL? I forget and can't be bothered to type his name into google. Well he's either still in the NFL or almost still in the NFL. How much better of a pick can you make like seriously? Enunwa, maybe a couple others who knows? 12 draft picks how fun! Tommy Bohanon?!?! Just so lol. You smokin some good shit bro. Wtf does he have to do with anything? Idzik threw the Hail Mary and connected on a shitty FB who can kind of block and fall down the second you put a finger on him when we dial up the ol' FB dive once every other game. Oh I see your point now, what an pick! Everytime I see Bohanon wasting space on the field I'll smile and think of poor misunderstood Idzik fondly. For the next year or two anyway until Maccagnan phases that worthless player out of his roster spot.
What's the bfd about Davante Adams. He had 36 catches for 400 yards with a great Qb and a top flight offense. And how do you get both Adams and Amaro who both went in the 2nd round.
He looked pretty good to me last week but ok how about Jarvis Landry if you want it to look even more ridiculous. Take your pick of names there were so many of them and you're happy with names like Shaq Evans. It's not that complicated, you have a third round pick and picks in the 4th to 7th, none of which are needed with 12 total picks. Bundle them together until you can move high enough to get the WR you want. Nah lets just cut like 7 guys by week 5, that's the way you really run a draft fellas.
BUT HOW COULD HE HAVE KNOWN THERE WOULD BE TWELVE GOOD WR'S IN THAT DRAFT? IT'S SO EASY TO SAY THAT IN HINDSIGHT. IT'S NOT LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD KNEW THERE WERE SO MANY GOOD WR'S IN THAT DRAFT!!!! OH WAIT....
Shaq Evans was out for the year as was McDougle. They went cornerback over Wr. Btw you can't bundle supplemental picks. The receivers they drafted were not considered bums. Wr was not their priority for the draft in 2014. They signed Decker.
Can we see how our receivers pan out first, or no? Aboushi did a serviceable job this season and he could improve.
O HAI GUYS, picture this: We're going to pay this FA based on stats his last two years with Peyton Manning and we're going to start him alongside Clyde Gates and Jeremy Kerley. Then we're going to protect our young QB with Brian Winters and Willie Rectum when he doesn't get the play blown dead for a false start. DRAFT A WR IN THE SECOND OR EARLY THIRD YOU SAY?!?! I LAUGH AT YOU. I BOOKED HOTELS FOR THE SEATTLE FUCKING SEAHAWKS SO I THINK I KNOW WHAT TYPE OF TALENT THIS ROSTER NEEDS! GOOD DAY SIR! I SAID GOOD DAY!
So the Jets went safety, tight end and cornerback before they drafted a wide receiver. Who were the guys drafted in rounds 4 and up that had significant success this past season meaning over 50 receptions.
I can't wait to see how our receivers pan out this year. Will Jalen Saunders wear thick enough shoes to let him ride the rollercoaster at Six Flags? Tune in to find out!
I guess you missed the part about bundling the non supplemental mid/late round picks to move back into the mid/bottom of the second and draft a real WR in the deepest class ever. Never mind that move would take both brains and balls of which your bff had neither so how could he be expected to do the right thing? Especially when instead he could sit there like a catatonic Down's syndrome patient, and randomly pick a name on a spitballed piece of paper by sucking it through a straw he uses to drink his food each time a buzzer sounds to elicit him to start slurping each time he's on the clock. Why else would they give Idzik 10 minutes to finalize the pick? He obviously can't slurp the details of a trade through a straw in that period of time.
I agree they might have traded up or even down into 2015. But they thought there were more good players in this draft and they could get contributors in the later rounds which they did. It doesn't have to be all home run hitters. I think they were going after a receiver with great ST and return capability and that's why they selected Saunders. I have no idea why they cut him so fast. He had a car accident before the season started and after he muffed a punt they released him. It might have been something personal and off the field who knows. At that time Harvin was not being shopped by Seattle. When he was available Idzik made a good trade and he played well. Your logic for signing Decker just doesn't hack it. If you're weak at Wr and you sign the best available free agent what's wrong with that.
WR should have been their priority. In a historically great draft for WRs and when even with Decker, the Jets had a crappy WR corps, drafting a topflight WR should have been one of their top priorities if not THE top priority. IMO the only thing more important than drafting a WR was drafting Teddy Bridgewater. Idzik sucks. The only thing he did right was triple dipping at WR, but I wouldn't have taken any of WRs he took. We can wait 10 years and the results of last year's draft won't have changed significantly. Who gives a rat's patoot that we got the supposed best receiving TE in the draft? I didn't want Amaro. There were TEs available later that I liked that would have been sufficient. The Packers got one of those TEs in the 3rd round (Richard Rogers). CJ Fiedrowicz went as the first pick in the 3rd round. Crockett Gilmore was the 35th pick in the 3rd round. I liked all those TEs better than Amaro. We needed a TE who could block as well as he could catch. TE isn't as important as WR. I liked Pryor, but not over Teddy Bridgewater or Brandin Cooks. Prior to the draft, I never thought Teddy would fall to us, so I wanted Cooks or Beckham. With Teddy there, I would have taken him or traded down a little and taken him. In the 2nd round I would have preferred Davante Adams (unless they had taken Cooks in the 1st), Jeremiah Attaochu, Troy Niklas, Jarvis Landry, or Jimmy Garoppalo (unless they had taken Teddy in the 1st round) over Amaro. For that matter, I might have taken Stanley Jean-Baptiste over Amaro. I had never heard of McDougle. In the 3rd round I liked Gabe Jackson, Michael Schofield, Donte Moncrief, Chris Watt, Phillip Gaines, Trai Turner, Richard Rogers, Crockett Gilmore and Dri Archer. I might have even have taken Brandon Thomas over McDougle. If I had been the GM, I would have done a better job in FA, and would have signed a quality OG and CB. At OG, I would have signed Jon Asamoah, Geoff Scharz, or Zane Beadles. At CB I would have tried to sign Sam Shields, but if I failed, would have targeted Charles Tillman or Walter Thurmond as my backup plan. I also would have signed FS Louis Delmas. More than likely, because the offense had been so ignored in previous drafts, I would have focused on offense in this draft and the following would have been my first 3 picks: 1 - Teddy Bridgewater - because he was a lot better QB prospect than Geno 2 - Davante Adams, or maybe Jeremiah Attaochu - even though I liked Attaochu a lot and believed the team needed a young pass rushing OLB, would have gotten a WR for Teddy 3 - Crockett Gilmore - another target for Teddy/Geno who can also block. 4 - pick #4 Bruce Ellington instead of Saunders, pick # 15 Brock Vereen FS instead of Shaq Evans, compensatory pick Devin Street WR instead of Dakota Dozier
In a funny and semi-related note, one of the guys in my fantasy league traded Beast Mode for Asiata and Julius Thomas. HAHAHAHAHA I honestly thought collusion was involved so I vetoed the trade, but turns out he actually wanted to make that move. Needless to say, that guy finished tied for last in our league at 4-9.
Every one of my RBs got hurt and he was the only option left. Had one big week and a bunch of 3 pt weeks. _
To make that story even funnier, I ended up picking him up during the playoffs because Alfred Morris started playing like garbage. God, what a horrible, horrible trade. I still give that guy hell about it.
