    Ok so we've all seen the "jets draft blunders" video during the draft a couple of years ago or on youtube. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here it is:http://youtube.com/watch?v=rZxNeFLuY98. My question is why is Freeman McNeil on that video. He's the second all time rusher for the Jets and from what I understand averaging at least 4 yards per carry for each of 12 seasons is a pretty good accomplishment. Did we pass on someone who we desperately needed? The only other names that stick out to me are Ronnie Lott, Howey Long and Mike Singletary, and Long and Singletary didn't go until the second round. Can anyone clarify this for me?

    They put it on there b/c of the Jet fans reactions because at the time of the draft everyone thought it was a bad pick

    Were they booing that pick? or the 2nd round? When the jets drafted another running back... cause that is boo worthy

    Nevermind. Just watched the video. Man we suck.
