    I am not going to make a long list, but the pick I really hated and was right about that was against the grain was Devin Smith.

    The pick I loved and was complete wrong about was Dee Milliner.

    The point is it wasn’t a better pick for us. QB was the pick.

    My biggest win... Quinton Coples. I hated that pick from the get go and sadly I was right.

    My biggest wrong... I thought Leonard Williams was a steal and would become a cornerstone for our team.

    My take with that draft. Position matter!! Don't ever draft a safety top 10.

    Hill over Jeffrey was such a stupid pick. Jeffrey did it all at South Carolina

    That's a hard and fast draft rule, and I think those are mistakes that cause one to screw up more often than not.

    I really wanted Mahomes, but knew that Mac would never take him because he loved Hackenberg. So I was forced to look elsewhere. The Jets needed a culture change. They needed leaders, great players who were alpha dogs, and Adams fit the bill. So, in the absence of taking Mahomes, from my perspective. Adams was a great prospect, deserved to be drafted where he was, and was the right pick. He appeared to be a leader, an alpha dog that would help change the culture and make our D tougher, and he did. What I didn't know was that he would wind up forcing his way out he hated losing so much. I wonder if it was all about Gase, not getting an extension from JD, or just the losing in general that caused him to act that way.

    In the Jets' situation, it made sense to take Adams. I think if a team is already a playoff team and has quality starters at every position except S and thinks that a player there will help put the team over the top, one would be foolish not to take him because of some dumb hard and fast draft rule. Following rules blindly and slavishly, never works out.

    I didn't know anything about Jace Amaro when the Jets took him but after review I was sky high hopeful about that pick and still can't believe how much of a flop he was.

    And Dee Milner looked like a star player to me. Not just a good player but a great player. And in little fits and spurts he kind of "was" a great player but what a bust overall.

    By complaining about how bad I hated the Vick pick, he was comparing me to Bradway, the poster here.

    Anyone remember Johnny Mitchell, the guy who averaged 25.6 yards per catch for Nebraska in 1990? I was pretty hyped on him thinking he would thrive with Toon/Walker. Whenever someone says we should take Pitts I think of Mitchell.

    Calvin Pryor too. Moronic pick. You could see them thinking durr we got the next Jack Tatum. We badly needed a receiver...Cooks was there, and we take some shit safety

    Also I was begging for Robert Woods (because...of course, we badly needed a receiver) but they draft retard Geno Smith
