I love this.

Who was it that was attacking Mayock's credibility here yesterday?

 

If we're talking about the same post, I think it was determined his beef was actually with McShay.

 

Actually, it was both, and it was specifically for the nonsense mocking of DJ Fluker to the Dolphins at 12. Of course, that never would have happened anyway since the Dolphins traded up to 3 and Fluker was gone already gone at 11, but if he had been there, there's no way the Dolphins would have taken him because he was a terrible fit and the opposite of what they're trying to accomplish (get leaner and more athletic on the line).

 

It does say a lot that the people who basically get paid year-round to study this stuff can't even break 25%, but it's not really surprising, because it's a high-variable game in which being wrong once increases your chances of being wrong thereafter.

 

As for how poorly the Jets did or didn't do, I'm not especially on board with their picks, but it's not because they weren't offense. Yeah, they need help on offense more than anything, but we're talking about day one, and they have several picks left in the deepest part of the draft. I think BPA is somewhat overstated and is rarely realistic in most positions unless a team is impossibly bad or impossibly good. There are always tiers of players, and it makes sense to pick a guy at a position you want before there's a tier drop. Conversely, there were all of 5 skill position players picked in the first round, so the Jets will be able to pick offensive as though they were still in the first, only without the first round cost..

Thats true. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh on them, but they have so little offensive talent that I feel they need to focus heavily on it in the draft. They still can, but it's that much more important now.

The biggest issue I have with the Jets is picking Milliner when Wilson and Cromartie were so good last year. Maybe they're afraid Cromartie will hold out soon so he can feed his next litter of kids. Then again, nickel corner is basically a starter now, and having a young guy does provide positional security as players come up for new deals.

Tharold Simon is an idiot.

dew probably jumped through his ceiling.

Haha, pretty close to it. I was convinced they were jumping up to grab Johnthan Banks and was perfectly fine with that.

 

I really like the Hunter pick, though. Big, athletic, fast receiver who adds firepower this year to replace the loss of Jared Cook and is insurance in case Britt continues to be bad and the Titans cut him loose.

 

Now I'm hoping Amerson falls to us in the third and we grab him there. Maybe a Lemonier, Gholston or Alonso to close out the third then.

[dew1679666265]

Wow, kinda surprised Slay went ahead of Banks.

[davell]

Surprised the Lions passed on Watson there. Pissed teams haven't traded up for QB's, don't want Bears to be tempted.

[Guest]

I prefer Hunter to Patterson.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Bernard over Lacy?

[Andy]

SD getting Te'o here according to LaCanfora and Schefter.

[davell]

Chargers trade up for Te'o.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

And the long national nightmare is over.

[Warpticon]

Wow, kinda surprised Slay went ahead of Banks.

 

People are skeptical of a CB who couldn't run in the 4.4's at his pro day and ran about 4.6 at the combine.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Niners should take Lacy. Him with Gore would be awesome.

[Banedon]

Te'o and Geno drama ends early.

[Warpticon]

Davone Bess traded to the Browns. I'll miss him, but it's a deal that makes sense. He was done after this year, and they weren't going to keep a slot-only receiver (unless it was Tavon Austin, who they apparently tried to trade up for but couldn't).

[sneakypower]

i'd have just preferred Milliner & Carradine, oh well

[Guest]

Bernard over Lacy?

 

If Bernard can stay healthy, he's pretty damn good.

[SpongeWorthy]

is it really necessary to have a guest pick announcer for every pick

Wait 'til the 4th when they have guys who won contests announcing picks.

[Andy]

Was sort of hoping for Woods. Carolina's gotta be thinking WR here and they're low on options.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Moore or Lacy, please.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Someone please tell me this guy is a good pick.
