Just for fun, let’s say the Jets two first round picks are 11 and 27 for the next two years. Let’s take a look back and see who was drafted at 11 and 27 over the most recent 10 year span. Pick 11 -2010: Anthony Davis OT -2011: JJ Watt DL -2012: Dontari Poe DT -2013: DJ Fluker OT -2014: Taylor Lewan OT -2015: Trae Waynes CB -2016: Vernon Hargreaves CB -2017: Marshon Lattimore CB -2018: Minkah Fitzpatrick S -2019: Jonah Williams OT Pick 27 -2010: Devin McCourty CB -2011: Jimmy Smith CB -2012: Kevin Zeitler OG -2013: DeAndre Hopkins WR -2014: Deone Bucannon S -2015: Byron Jones CB -2016: Kenny Clark DT -2017: Tre’Davious White CB -2018: Rashaad Penny RB -2019: Johnathan Abram S Bold: All-Pro Italics: Pro-Bowl This just shows the kind of players available for the Jets if they choose wisely.
Interesting - a 50 per cent chance of landing a Pro Bowler with either pick. It is all going to come down to how well we use this extra draft capital.
It is no doubt Douglas has put us in a fantastic position. I'm excited for the future of this franchise
It can be deceiving just remember, Sheldon Richardson and Leonard Willians we’re pro bowlers, and Muhammad Wilkerson and Jamal Adams were all pros
Funny how early in their careers most of us were really happy with all four of those... but boy, did they wear out their welcome.
