    Not every team, just our team (because we historically draft like dog shit). Evan Roberts on WFAN has it right - draft picks are lottery tickets. Nobody knows who is going to pan out and who is going to go bust ... but the more tickets you have, the better chance you have of hitting the lottery. Additionally (and this is me speaking, not Roberts), every one of these NFL GMs are so full of themselves that they become 100% certain that everyone else (other teams) have made the same evaluations on these players ... so if you don't move up 8 spots, Team X or Team Y will definitely take the guy they have rated in that spot. The flaw in the thinking is that none of these teams have these players evaluated the same way. If you just sit still 80 to 90 percent of the time, the guy you wanted is going to drop to where you are drafting.

    The AVT pick looks all the better to me now that every other team in the AFCE has selected a defensive front 7 player in the the first two rounds.

    Jaelan Phillips, Greg Rousseau, and Christian Barmore are all going to be trying to take Wilson's head off.

    Now can we trade up and get Creed Humphrey? How is he slipping.

    If JD is such an o-line guru why are we using so many 1st rd picks on it. Any one of us could build a decent o-line with picks between 11 and 14 in the first rd. We should be getting players from colleges we never heard of in rds 5 -7 or UDAs being stars in our o-line.

    In recent Jet history, the 2009 team had 5 number ones on the line, lead the league in rushing and made it to the AFC championship game despite having Mark Sanchez at QB, so, maybe that's why.

    I think it was 4 and Moore the converted dt who was undrafted. But your point is still a good one

    Yes, you are correct...I forgot about Moore...but we could say that being surrounded by 4 number ones elevated his game

    I think what he is saying is that there have been many good O Linemen who were picked in late rounds and someone who supposedly can recognize such talent like JD should be able to find them instead of picking them early in the first round which is easy to do. As bad as the Jets have been in drafting over many years, we have had a good number of Olinemen who were picked in the first round and turned to be very good: Powell, Ward, D'Brackshaw, Mangold. Let's compare that to the many first round busts. We can start a separate thread on that.

    Real competition between GVR, Clark & Feeney likely, plus anyone else we may draft today. Not a bad situation at all.

    So, in his logic we should take a crap shot instead of taking his highest rated prospect. That is assinine.

    This has to be a troll post. We find a lot of absurd ways to complain on this website but I refuse to believe this is real.

    I made a long DD post back when Mac was GM about OL.

    it was something like 93% of pro-bowl lineman over the last 20 years were drafted in rounds 1-3.

    that’s why I didn’t like Mac’s mid round philosophy about bargain lineman.

    A player I really wanted. There was no way AVT was going to fall to # 23. I knew as soon as we made the trade it was for AVT.

    The trade reminded me of how we traded up for Revis.
