blah blah blah blah blah. Like I said BB's bunghole. Bradway needed to make a splash. It was also reported Parcells was looking at him. It was in the NY papers for days................. the real reason. LOL the reason was because of Belichick, that is a good one. Thanks for the daily laugh from a Pats fan. Edit: Well the trade was made a full day before the draft anyhow. There is no way the Jets stay where they were and get DR that is folly as well.
I don't disagree with him at all, actually. Bradway's trademark on draft day was to make the most transparent moves possible. He was told he needed Warren Sapp, and made his 'splash' by going after the guy who most physically resembled Sapp as far as drafting prospects go. He was told he needed Ray Lewis, so he drafted the guy who most physically resembled Lewis as far as draft prospects go. He was told he had to bookend John Abraham with a guy that most resembled him... Bryan Thomas. Terry Bradway was always crap in the first round on draft day. And he panics when he thinks he will be out-maneuvered. And he points fingers when it blows up in his face.
He sucks to be sure. But he picked Dewayne because of the bungles that Preseason. Besides can I not fuck with a Pats fan.
Of course you can, I F with them all year. Unfortunately, Bradway gives us less to brag about than anything. I think we reached for D-Rob because we had been drafting out-of-priority all along. When we reached for him and traded up, it was the third offseason into the Hermway regime and they had failed to properly address the most important position in the copycat Tampa Cover-2 to draft: 1) Santana Moss, a wideout/KR man who would satisfy the fans' anger of the empty spot at WR left when Keyshawn was traded 2) Bryan Thomas, an 'edge rusher' who would replace Ellis while befuddled Herm and TeddyC failed to convert Shaun Ellis to the 3T position. (and then subsequently admitted failure in that experiment before the season even started, moved Ellis to DE overweight and blamed him for the bad performance) Not all of it was Bradway, and of course the Pats' involvement in how the Jets jumped up in the drafting order is quite a bit exaggerated by CJLang, it's still a reality that the FO/CS was an infighting comedy of errors on draft day, and were constantly out-maneuvered because of it. It wasn't the Pats' genius that made it possible, it was the Jets' ineptitude.
great post.............. I have to say this, now that you bring it up: The Jets have had some horrid drafts brought upon by a comedy of errors. I never really gave it a thought of how some mistakes just continually begat even more with the prior front office. I just cannot get 2005 out of my head either. The one where they had to get Nugent because of Doug Brien and the team being a Field goal away and the Vikings were rumored to get him or the trade for Jolley. My god that has to be some of the worst draft maneuvering I have ever seen in my entire life. Thank the lord they found Rhodes in round 4 or the draft would have been a disaster of Dolphin 2000-2006 proportions. One thing I will say is the new FO, like it or not, has a decent draft plan. They do not make panic moves. They are calculating and always trying to get the best player. They do not make stupid moves in reaction to the proverbial tea leaves. BTW you F with everyone not just Pat fans.
LOL I keep Vampire hours. Happy New Years and may all your videos telegraph what the other team is doing.
LOL I was cracking up with that one. Hang around here long enough and you get sigs that will wipe out keyboards from stuff you spit out through your nose.
That one originated from the Pats / Giants game thread when Welker was just catching first down after first down.. I was laughing for a good 5 minutes.. :lol:
LOL, seriously are you coming after me for made up facts when you have no earthly idea what you are talking about? Being a fan of a lying cheating pay the refs to continue to be 16-0 team does not necessarily make you right. :smile: Here is a news story. Take particular note the trade was consummated on Friday (I even pointed it out for you in big easy to read bolded letters). Care to guess what day they have the NFL draft on? <cough> <cough> Saturday <cough> <cough> Bills' rival trades up for No. 4 NFL draft slot Article proving Miamipuck uses solid facts and they should not be questioned by a semi literate Patsfan, then again they are all semi literate............LMAO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (April 26, 2003) — NEW YORK — The New York Jets made the first move of what could be a wild weekend at the NFL draft by trading their two first-round picks to the Chicago Bears for the fourth overall pick. General manager Terry Bradway said last week that the team would be quiet, but Friday he said the decision to trade the No. 13 and 22 picks was made because “the draft board seemed to be void from 13-20. “When we put the board together, there weren’t enough players at 13 we’d be real excited about taking with our No. 1 pick.” “When you look at these four players, every scout and every coach that saw every one of these players gave them a good grade. I can’t say that for the guys who were below 10 or we’d be considering at 13.” Kentucky defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson is high on the Jets’ list, along with Kansas St. defensive back Terence Newman and Miami receiver Andre Johnson. Robertson is considered the best of the defensive linemen who could go in the first round.
This Gholston obsession is bizarre. I don't see anything about him that screams "Top 6 pick." I would love to trade down.
Here's a pic of Gholston. He is impressive at 260 lbs, 6'4", with 4.67 speed. 2 things: 1) He is a Junior and has to declare. 2) He makes a better OLB than a DE - could blitz on passing downs - that is the potential investment.

Lets trade it and pick low in round 1/high in round 2.....or trade right out of the first round for 2 seconds and a player or something
