On A Scale From 1-10 How Certain Did You Feel The Jets Or Raiders Would Pick Star?


Self Centered

Recommended Posts

Man, I thought for sure this would be like the situation last year where the Rams picked Janoris Jenkins just before our pick in the second round, and the Jets felt this year what we felt last year by the Rams jumping in front of them taking Tavon Austin. The Rams are just evil bastards that live to pick the same player the the team behind them is targeting.

I'm still surprised this guy just landed to us and Gettleman not panicking giving up a fifth or sixth round pick to move up to get him. Two days after the fact, I am still in disbelief we got just who we wanted wihout giving up anything especially since there were no first round running backs or quarterbacks for teams to focus their attention on.

I Felt it was 9 that Star would be gone and our fanbased would be pissed.

With that said thank goodness the Bucs made that trade to the jets with #13 and them taking Richardson instead of Star.

I thought the Jets would take him.

I counted on Oakland doing something stupid.

I'm still giddy that he fell to us. If not for that misdiagnosis he would have been a top 5 guy for sure.

I think the Olinemen run had more to do with him falling than the misdiagnosis.

This was a seriously great year to draft olinemen, and all those weaker teams had serious needs to address there.

Definitely. The Oline run, "DJ HAYDEN", TAVON, and Sheldon Richardson helped Star and Floyd fall.

Every year is a great year to draft an Olineman. People acts like Oline is a rare position. Franchise OTs comes every single year. Next year draft is just as packed as this year in OLINE.

A ten, I thought he was gone, Jets were on the clock and I just dreadfully anticipated them drafting him, then the Commissioner said "Sheldon Richardson" I laughed my ass off, and yelled "STARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Heh I was almost the exact same way. I was chanting "Please take Patterson please take Patterson please take Patterson" then when they took Richardson I let out a loud "WOOOOOOO!" and started laughing.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
