They should make a Netflix documentary about it. They had such an blank slate to work with, a fanbase all in on the tank. Cap space, draft capital up the wazoo. They had multiple paths to adequacy, with two great QBs in the 2017 draft taken after Jamal. Even if they didn't like Watson and Mahomes, and many teams didn't, they could have built the offense and moved draft capital towards the 2018 draft which had five great prospects, two and a half of whom have turned out to be great QBs (Mayfield is the half). Even if they still draft Darnold in 2018, they would have been better served if they traded back from 6 in 2017 and taken, say, Ryan Ramczyk and Dalvin Cook to give Darnold someone to play with.Let's wait till after da Jete make the pick to draw conclusions.
Yep, IMO it was a bad pick, and SEA fell for the hype just as badly.
Seems that the opportunity cost for da Jete should be factored into the equation.
Da Jete took him with people like Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson still on the board.
One box safety isn't going to move the needle much.
On the other hand, picking Mahomes or Watson and building around them back in '17 should have been a much better payback than whatever they get for Adams in '22.
Da Jete really foobar'd that opportunity.
They had a chance to try to break the cycle of suck back in '17 but they blew it, and won't get a chance to reset things till '22.
It's amusing to me how Jete fans excel at calling former GMs and HCs bums AFTER they've been on the team but not before.The Jets 2017 offseason decisions belong in the Hall of Shame.

Opportunity Cost is exactly right. Drafting Adams set back the franchise YEARS and hopefully drafting Zach Wilson does the same. That's why Adams is my favorite Jet. Talented, but not in any way that helps you in 2021. Drafted to change the culture but quickly showed himself to be a me first self promoter and team cancer. He thinks he's too good for the Jets, but he was born to be a Jet. I miss him.
Wasn't he the one who posted something about going to a place that will better utilize his talents or something?
Probably time to start an 'other week 13' thread, but, man, TNF will be what Bill Simmons calls a poop-fecta.
Dallas wiped out by COVID, and...
Yet as Andrew Brandt points out, we're probably still gonna watch it, unlike some random Thu night NBA or NHL game.
Phillip Dorsett avoided ‘mistake’ of picking Patriots over Seahawks for second-straight year
Phillip Dorsett had the opportunity to come to Seattle last offseason. The Seahawks were courting the veteran wideout, but Dorsett ultimately decided to re-sign with the New England Patriots. Seattle came calling again when Dorsett became a free agent in 2020. This time, despite New England’s...www.nbcsports.com
Yeah he wanted to fix the "mistake" of picking Brady over Wilson.
I think that aged extremely well.
Any TNF game is still >>>>>> Any regular-season NBA or NHL game.
