Title: Most traumatic Jets drafted 22 ever
Post by: Badger on March 29, 2022, 03:40:08 PM


Every Jets draft opinion is based in part on PTSD. Walker is scary since we have drafted plenty of run stopping DL early and none were stars here. Hamilton is scary because of what happened with Adams. Mims makes us scared of not getting the exact WR they want.

I wonder what the all-time full 22 plus P+K out of traumatic Jets picks would look like.

It’s so depressing that 90% of thes guys have been drafted in the past 15 years. I know part of that is because we have been paying attention since then. The other part is we have been unbelievably awful, and these guys are largely the reason for that.

James Farrior needs to be on there.
1. Was a bum for 3/4 years as a Jet. Exploded in his contract year just to leave.
2. Was drafted after we traded away from Orlando Pace for a collection of picks who would become bums (though indirectly it did get us Jason Ferguson in the 7th after additional trades) AND traded away from Walter Jones at 6.
3. He was a reminder of what happened when Peyton screwed us.

I second taking BT off the list. Guy was a Jet for a decade and did a solid job even if he never became a good passrusher. The only way to justify it, in my mind, is that he was picked over Ed Reed, when Ed was a legit possibility. Could throw Rick Terry on there as one of the DL if you need a guy, a total bum who Parcells drafted and immediately hated.

Being so bad that you don't even get on the field makes you the worst pick.

Saying a 2nd-round pick who didn't play a game with the team because he was so bad "didn't hurt the Jets" is one of the dumbest statements I've ever read.

I get what your point is, but it's still stupid.

The Ed Reed thing has to be why he's on the list.

He wasn't the edge rusher we asked for, but he was a good Jet for a while. He was basically another Calvin Pace.

I would nominate Lou Benfatti at DT because I thought his name was funny as a kid, and he was a 3rd-round pick who did nothing.

I would say we drafted Hack and then didn’t draft a guy like Watson/Mahomes/trubisky the next year

Our 2nd-best season in the last decade featured Geno Smith throwing to Jeremy Kerley, Santonio Holmes, David Nelson, Jeff Cumberland, Kellen Winslow, Stephen Hill, Clyde Gates and Greg Salad.

This isn't a defense of Geno as much as it is an expression of sadness.

I remember at TGG he was HATED for a while, but everyone softened on him once they realized he was a decent player who just didn’t fit the role he was picked for.

It's not about which players were the worst, it's about which caused the most trauma to Jets fans. I would argue that a player taken high who was horrible but inexplicably played a lot would be more traumatic than someone taken high who didn't even see the field.

This argument always reminds me of the line in Moneyball, "would you rather get a bullet to the head or five to the chest and bleed to death?" Hack is the former, Geno is the latter.

IJS, someone literally screamed OH NO! as Roselle was announcing the Roger Vick choice.

There's video footage of Jets fans absolutely crushing (apparently given his career, with good reason) the 2nd round selection of halfback Anthony Davis out of USC back in 75. I'm going to see if I can find it again, but it's Jet fans literally shitting on the pick and Charlie Winner! Classic stuff. Time really is a flat circle.

The argument for including Bryan Thomas, besides picking him over Reed, is that he was one of our "doesn't get sacks but is kinda good against the run" guys, which is an undercurrent in how we might look at Travon Walker.

But I don't really want to single out BT, he was one of many.

Ducasse and Winters may be the 2 most prominent guys that shaped my pathological hatred of the "we can just find a gord later" attitude. You could throw Slauson in there too.

Ducasse was the biggest bust because he was taken in the 2nd but none of them were ever better than mediocre.

The entire 2014** draft was traumatic. The only legit NFL career out of the 12 picks that year is from Dakota Dozier, who was somehow an every down, 16 game starter in 2020 and was apparently just signed by the Bears.

He was definitely one of the candidates, but I recall there being plenty of others who were on the list of possible and/or desirable options. We were already pretty stacked up from with McLendon, Williams, Hank before everyone hated him, Shepherd before everyone knew he was crap, and a few more besides. Adding another DL with the third overall pick was not a thing many people were excited for the idea of.

Darron Lee caught me off guard, mostly because I didn't understand how he fit in our system.

Still don't.
I don't know if we were blindsided by Quinnen, but no one really had a clue what we were going to do in 2019. Including Macc.
Lee and Q both came up often enough as possibilities that I wasn't shocked when they happened.

I remember wanting Brandin Cooks and no one else.

Same. I threw a tantrum in the bar where we were watching the draft.

A lot of us were high on Josh Allen but it became pretty obvious as the 2019 draft drew closer that we were going to take Quinnen if we didn't trade out. He and Bosa were the consensus top-2 players in the draft.

Fun fact: we were a random Cole Beasley touchdown on a 4th and 15 from the 32 yard line in a meaningless Giants Cowboys game week 17 away from getting Bosa. We and the Niners were locked in a SOS dogfight and the cowboys win/giant loss pushed them in front of us.

Answering this question purely through the lens of who I was simply adamant against and detested the pick: Geno and Hack

Only time I've ever been certain we just made a bad pick.  I was full-on Vaynerchuking.

The most disappointing draft pick of my recent life is Christian Hackenberg. I do not even know what is 2nd at this point.

Every 1st-round pick you could make a real case for being a good pick, even if a lot of them didn't work out. Even guys like Pryor and Coples and Lee which seemed like odd picks at the time. I know everyone here hated Geno, but I was fine with him in round 2. Round 1 would have been a disaster.

Christian Hackenberg should not have been drafted. Anyone who watched him play in college saw how bad he was. And we took him in the 2nd round. That was the most predictably bad pick we've ever had. Mike Nugent honorable mention.

Him and Geno were both the only picks I can remember saying while we were on the clock, "Please God don't take this guy I think you are about to take".  And they took him.  Usually it's that same statement followed by NOT picking him.

Hackenberg was drafted directly due to Geno being a bust, so he's still responsible.

But we can take an ok-not-great DL and a historically injured CB.

Even worse that we didn’t learn our lesson and drafted an even bigger bust
Title: Re: Most traumatic Jets drafted 22 ever

Hackenberg's bust level is basically Jachai Polite plus James Morgan. Geno was worse.

I'm adjusting it

Hackenberg = Polite+Saunders+Morgan

Definitely a smaller bust footprint than Geno.

Geno is still an NFL quarterback. Hackenberg never played a down

He was never an NFL QB so how can he still be one?
