Who do you draft experts think will be Douglas’ worst draft pick? Who do you think will be the biggest bust? Two different questions, though perhaps some will provide the same answer
One of the unique things about being a Jets fan is the realization that there are some fans who seem to root for failure. Not just expect failure, but actually root for it. I don't believe I've ever experienced that with any other fan group.
scout A: I like Becton. He's got great upside. He's a bit risky though. scout B: Don't say that! Are you rooting against him? lol, there is nothing wrong or negative with speculating about this. We're not lemmings. We're (DEEPLY) emotionally invested in the team's success -- we're all rooting for all the picks to be all-pros -- but that doesn't mean we can't think and be objective. imo, the only potential busts are Becton, Mims and Mann. All the other picks are potential fails, but not busts. To be a bust, expectations of instant and/or major impact must be at a certain critical level. Mims is the most likely bust. Partly because of his acknowledged weaknesses, partly because WR's tend to bust more than OL and P, and partly because he will likely be immediately thrust into a #1 role on an offense that has not exactly been the greatest show of turf. This does NOT mean I think he will bust. He's the riskiest pick, at the most bust-likely position, relative to his draft position. Period. But JD knew that when he picked him. He swung for the fences this draft, and according to most experts he got superb value up and down the draft. Go Denzel!
LMAO Only a Jets fan will post something like this before the season even begins. Fuckin A'. Sometimes I hate being a Jets fan
I really do not think he will be cut in year 1, just would not shock me. I think he is too raw, and we do not have a good history actually developing talent. In college, most of his better games were against non SEC or power 5 conference teams. Probably more of a Gholston than a Polite, but at least it wasn’t a top pick like VG. I am actually not very pessimistic about JD’s draft as I really am on board with all of the picks including Morgan. I think most agree with Becton, but I think Davis and Campbell are going to turn out to be steals.
I'll play....James Morgan, QB. The jury will be out on Morgan for 2-3 seasons (especially this season with limited pre-season games to see what he's got). But in yr 3 we expect he will develop enough to take on the BUQB roll 100%, putting that much needed position to rest. I don't know when he'll see spot duty filling in for Sam, but we've all seen what a bad BUQB can mean. If Morgan never develops and is eventually cut, I'll be disappointed.
Perrine will be the Jet's worst pick. I didn't like the pick wished they would have kept McGuire. But with old as dirt Frank Gore this position is sketchy now. Because the entire league knows Bell cannot be depended on. Hopefully, Douglas can break the Jets 2nd round disaster jinks. Any other year this would have been an easy question to answer. Whoever was picked in the 2nd round will be the bust.
