Sam Darnold a brillant pick then Mac threw the remaining picks on projects with orlando Brown, Tyrell Crosby still sitting Jets could have rebuilt half the offensive line not to mention Gallup a beast of a WR instead 4 projects. You draft a QB that will get killed behind that make shift line blown opportunity again.

Analysts & guys like Matt Miller loves our draft. I'll believe those guys over anybody's board here.

What about the tight end Chris Herndon?
Doesn't seem like a bad pick.

I'm one of the biggest SOJF posters on here and a bonafide Mac/Bowles hater and I like our draft. It sucks we didn't draft any Olineman but at the very least there wasn't a WTF pick like Dylan Donahue. We got maybe the best QB in the draft, some interior DL help which we needed(although you could argue he overdid it), a nickel corner, and finally a fucking guy that can return punts.

Don’t we still have a shitload of cap room to sign free agents?

Don’t we still have a shitload of cap room to sign free agents? We have $25MM in offseason cap space, where only the top 51 biggest cap hits count. Deduct about $8MM to sign the draft class, and we are sitting at $17MM. Still room to make some moves, and more than most teams at this stage, but nowhere near teams like Cleveland and the Colts who are both over $60 mil. It is next season that we are projoected to have a shitload of cap space again. Hopefully to invest in the OL.

We got maybe the best QB in the draft, some interior DL help which we needed(although you could argue he overdid it), a nickel corner, and finally a fucking guy that can return punts. I still haven't quite figured out what I think of the draft. Love the fact that we got Darnold. And like you, I really liked the Shepherd pick -- we desperately needed to add to the DL, and Shepherd could be a really good player. Since the Williams pick, the only DL we added through the draft was Deon Simon in the same draft. We have lost Wilk, Sheldon, Snacks. We needed a DL and we added two -- 3 if you count Anderson. Don't know a whole lot about Herndon other than what I have read. Seems like a talented kid coming back from injury who has potential to be dual threat. A good TE is a great weapon for a young QB. Given our depth chart at TE, I can't complain about this pick in the 4th. I like Parry Nickerson in the 6th -- eventual replacement for Skrine. The RB/KR/PR from Virginia State just needs to be a decent return man and you can't really complain about the return on a late 6th rounder. Don't know much about the Uconn kid. Individually, I like the players we got, but in my mind, nothing should have been a bigger priority than putting Darnold in a position to succeed. We don't have a real feature back or #1 WR (I know hard to solve for those without a 2), and putting a rookie QB behind our OL scares the shit our of me. Macc continues to shop in the bargain basement for offensive linemen. No OL drafted earlier than R5. Signing injury risks like Long and Swanson. And going back over the last few years. He brought in Clady and Beachum. Beachum was okay last year, but both guys were injury risks as well. As much as I wanted Macc to invest in OL on Friday/Sat night, I have a hard time killing him for the draft we came away with. There was a run on OL in the 2nd--there really was not anyone on the board in early 3 that I thought made sense in that spot. I am not sure, but we traded back in the 5th right after Tyrell Crosby came off the board, maybe he was targeting him and we missed out by a couple of picks. I could go on and on. For now, I will just root for these guys to succeed. Still can't quite figure out if I like the class or not. Plenty of time to work that out over the next 8 months, I guess as I watch these kids play.

What's your opinion on the TE the Jets drafted? Has massive potential but again not an instant starter. He could develop into a really good TE. Thats probably the only pick out of rest that might pay dividends in a few years.

Im not big on these guys for 1 reason the defense is still good the way it is. The OL is terrible You have Orlando Brown a starting LT still on the board a guy that has the potential to sure up LT situation for years and pass on him for a poor mans Wilkerson who is 25 years old. Then you pass on Crosby who is a starting RT could be converted to a guard spot both guys were late first to mid second round picks.

Read that will so many contracts expiring at the end of this season, the Jets are projected to have about $100M to spend in 2019. If Macc plays this right, we could rebuild... not sure that’s actually a correct term for the Jets... but we could build a team quickly with some solid pieces already in place and a good draft next year and some good free agents.

As long as Darnold shows enough this season to make offensive players want to come here, we could be in a really good position for 2019.
