Does Ray Ray not realize that the Jets can't trade for anyone, because the deadline has passed?

The Jets have historically hit it out of the park with top 10 draft picks. I am getting a little worried. Here is the list of their top 10 draft picks (check out all the current and future HOFers on it):

Mark Sanchez (5th)
Veron Gholston (6th)
Dewayne Robertson (4th)
James Farrior (8th, bust for Jets and stud for Steelers)
Keyshawn Johnson (1st overall)
Kyle Brady (9th)
Blair Thomas (2nd)
Dave Cadigan (8th)
Al Toon (10th)
Ken Hobart (10th)
Russell Carter (10th)
Freeman McNeil (3rd)


I went back to 1980 for their picks. McNeil and Toon were good picks. Keyshawn was a decent pick, but a disappointment for #1 overall. His value was more for what they got for him in trade over his production on the field. Thomas, Gholston, and Brady were disaster picks. The rest is a bunch of meh.

Who could forget once uber Jets fan Bob "Tollbooth" Jensen's description of Robertson as "a bowling ball with knives"?
Sometimes I miss the old USENET days.

I want them to go 8-8, but if they don't getting drafted by the jests is like being rafted by the LA Clippers in basket ball. Its a place where high draft picks go to die.

Think man this is Ray Ray we're talking about. He probably doesn't know what he had for breakfast today, or whether he took a shower or not.

I want them to lose every game left and get something like the 5th pick. They will get a player that Jets fans will hype as the next great thing and kill him as a bust two years later.

He was more like a nerf ball with feathers.

My favorite Jets fan's response to a draft pick is "I can't wait until Vernon Gholston (or Quinton Coples) introduces himself to Tom Brady" as if that player is going to sack Brady a lot.

I heard the introduction between Coples and Brady went a little something like this:

Coples: Hey Tom, my name is Quinton. Good luck tonight.
Brady: You too.
Coples: Ok, I gotta go and sit on the bench for the next three hours. Can't wait to see you play from the sidelines.

That is a consideration. Bigger return on shadenfreude. A top five bust is much better than a mid round bust. A top five pick and all the rats fans will declare the jests SB winners only to be Crushed when the pick is a bust.
