Most traumatic Jets drafted 22 ever

[Andrew Ryan]

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.

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.

[Heismanberg]

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.

Thank you

What a depressing thread.

Nugent is the obvious choice for K. Not sure who the draft bust P would be.

Is it a fun fact that Robbie Gould was an UDFA from the same draft?

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.

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

You are a sick freak for this thread

Right before a draft that should be a pleasant experience for those of us with Jets draft brain trauma

[SixFeetDeep]

This is going to reignite the Geno/Hack debate again, isn't it?

LFG AR, Clearly team Hack

Today we'll find out how far I can deep throat a shotgun.

[SixFeetDeep]

And if we're applying the word "traumatic" correctly, then Jamal Adams deserves a place on the team.

That’s a different thread.

He was a decent draft pick (Mahomes would have been nice), a good player here, and got us an absolute haul. Helped us in the long scheme of things.

How bout instead we shotgun at lot D1 next year once it’s freezing cold out

Can we give Dexter McDougal a shoutout as well? 3rd round pick spent on a dude that should have gone I drafted, missed as much time as cashman, and we knew he was fragile when we picked him. Yet that’s a guy we drafted that highly. Never thought he was a good player at Maryland even when he was healthy. But Rex loved something about the guy. Then again he loved milliner and Kyle Wilson too, so freak did he know about evaluating college CBs

[Badger]

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.

Stuttering Slauson was a guy in retrospect we shouldn’t have let walk. He started a few more years in Chicago and our line (somehow) managed to get worse without him

True, because we kept shopping the bargain bin for gords.
