Yeah…the article actually says Day 2 pick instead of Round 2 pick, which is more accurate. But still, we have SUCKED at drafting 2nd round WRs…that is a long list of fuckups for us To be fair, we have ALSO sucked at drafting first round players as well…and third round…and fourth round…etc. etc.
No, nothing happened except I was thinking about it. He barely played this past season, so it doesn't look good. Then again, maybe Rodgers didn't like him and otherwise, he has potential.
Right? And Pittsburgh seems to be able to find great receivers in the later rounds…funny how some teams know how to evaluate positions better than others…like Baltimore is a great drafting team but for whatever reason they have also had a hard time drafting quality receivers
That would be Keyshawn Johnson and you have to go all the way back to 1996. Even so, he was essentially a "fair to midling" player. It's hard to tell, to be honest. Half the problem with a WR is the QB. Seeing as the Jets have, literally, shit the bed at the QB position since, well, their inception who knows whether or not the team had HoF type receivers at any level. Can you imagine what a Tom Brady would have done with a guy like Laveranues Coles, Wayne Chrebet or some of the other mid-ling receivers the Jets have had over the years?
In the early 2000s we had some hits: Laverneus Coles(3rd round), Santana Moss(1st round), Jericho Cotchery(4th round).
Oh man, I remember Cotch. Probably the single greatest run I've ever seen of a WR. That dude had brass ones! With a competent QB, imagine what he could have been!
It's a pathetic record of failure. You could probably do better making some sort of random WR draft selections over the last generation. Really pathetic. In fact, you could probably do better for most or even all positions on the Jets by making random draft picks by using the highest rated player on a draft board created by any random teenage statistics nerd.
Or Dare I say it? Madden ratings? LOL As totally ridiculous as that whole situation with Brick and Woody and Madden Ratings is, whatever the truth behind it or not, I’m only half joking when I say that you know what? I think I’d probably trust the Madden Ratings to be better than the evaluations our shitshow of a front office has been using…
His only contribution all season was dropping the ball at the 1 yard line Tampa took Jalen McMillan in the 3rd round after Corley and he scored 8 touchdowns
I am still SO baffled how we scout this guy, draft him, and we don't even use him. JD had to know how important this pick was and they still missed. AR did not like him, knew he didn't study the playbook, and was a lock room cancer. I mean this is the epitome of the Jets old regime. Such clowns.
It's too early to say for sure, but Corley just strikes me as a loser. The self-anointed "YAC King" label while playing against nobodies, the fumble before the endzone, delusional social media posts regarding his role. Not expecting him to amount to much.
It's disheartening that he could not get on the field. And even though offensive coaches sucked, I do think if he outperformed Gipson, who is awful, he would be active. The fumble and his responses were moronic, but that's the easiest thing to correct, I am mostly concerned that the whole thing listening to the coaches sounds like Mims 2.0, the guy is simply not able to absorb information. Hopefully he will improve, but like you said, can't expect much at this point, would be a bonus.
He didn't run any routes in college. He made his living on screen passes. He was essentially a running back. When he was drafted there were some of us saying he needed a redshirt year and it was widely rejected, even mocked by others. But he clearly did need that. i think its wrong to speculate he didn't study or was a cancer. He just wasn't ready to be a NFL receiver and was way overdrafted by a failure of a front office. I'm not sure he ever will be much of a NFL receiver by the way, he runs heavy like a running back, receivers need to glide down the field. When the ball is thrown low or high in preseason he had trouble getting it. Narrow catch radius and poor route runner, those are practice squad types usually...
