i think the fact that they were picked consecutively makes people think of it weirdly, but we have to think that we had 3 picks tonight and the goal is to get the 3 best players we rated on a team devoid of talent
for example, if we had gone with positions other than safety at 39 and at 70, and then taken a safety with the last pick of the 3rd, the response wouldn't have been 'omg another safety'?....it would have been 'safety/backfield issue seems to be solved/resolved, jets took another guy at safety they really liked with the last pick of the 3rd round'. honestly it doesn't matter when/where they were picked, if we are trying to stockpile this team with the best possible talent available while also taking need into basis, which our defensive backfield definitely is.
looking forward to see what we do with our next 2 picks
