The jests seem to be more proficient than others when it comes to blowing first rnd draft picks.
Could have drafted either Chandler Jones or Dont'a Hightower and Jets fans mocked us because they got the stud Quinton Coples. Both Jones and Hightower would address areas of weakness for the Jets.
I would consider picking him off of waivers and making him a a DT in a 4-3 which is probably his true position. The guy needs to play with his hand in the dirt. He is not an OLB.
Can you imagine what BB would have done with the four first round draft picks that the Jets had in the 2000 NFL draft? Most likely would not have used all of them but they would most likely still be paying dividends today. 4 firsts and the 199th. That would have been great.
It's unbelievable to look at the first-round pass outside pass rushers drafted in the AFC East and seeing the Pats embarrass these other teams. In recent memory:
Dion Jordan, Dolphins - 3rd overall, 3 sacks
Vernon Gholston, Jets - 6th overall, 0 sacks
Aaron Maybin, Bills - 11th overall, 6 sacks
Quinton Coples, Jets - 16th overall, 16.5 sacks
Chandler Jones, Patriots - 21st overall, 34 sacks
So despite having far worse draft position year after year, the Patriots have gotten more production from their stud pass rusher prospect than the other four busts combined, 34 sacks to 25.4 sacks, and Jones is one of the premier pass rushers in the league.
It's funny to think that with Jordan, Gholston, Maybin, and Coples, those fans were thumping their chests that they just made life horrible for Tom Brady, and all of those guys have amounted to a hill of beans.
Wow!
