Most traumatic Jets drafted 22 ever

[Heismanberg]

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

He was a locker room snitch.  He needed to go.

He definitely shouldn't have been that difficult to replace.

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

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.

Saying this like Pro Bowler DeMario Davis isn't a thing.

Edit: just realised you meant to say 2014.

When I first learned about Christian Watson my first question was "he's not another Stephen Hill is he?"

Yeah, 2014. Too many bad drafts to keep straight.

I think 2014 was the last time I was totally blindsided by our 1st round pick.

I remember wanting Brandin Cooks and no one else.

TBF we've got CJ Mosley and LaMarcus Joyner, had Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and might get Dee Ford, so we appear to be working our way through the ones we missed out on between our first and second picks. Keep your fingers crossed.

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.

All of us were dying for a trade down, but I think all of us knew it was gonna be Quinnen if we didn't trade.

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.

Lee and Q both came up often enough as possibilities that I wasn't shocked when they happened.

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