Still makes me laugh...

The memory of hearing the words "With the 13th pick, the New York Jets select...Sheldon Richardson" :blink: :lol:

No lie. I really did 'laugh out loud', and I'm still laughing.

If ESPN ever does another video of Jets draft blunders, I hope that clip deserves to be on it.

Sheldon could turn out to be a really good football player and fill the role needed by the jets better than star would. They're two different players with two different skill sets.

Star was definitely the best pick for us, but its also possible Sheldon was the best pick for them.

Richardson wasn't liked around here because he wasn't that great against the run, which was something we needed badly. Which is why Star is a fuging Godsend. But Richardson has a lot of talent, great motor, good kid, ect. I think it was a great pick for the Jets. Play him outside in their 3-4. He can definitely improve on the run, but he's a great player.

Richardson plays the same position as Wilkerson, and Coples, who by the way, is now moving to OLB.

It's a dumb pick, not because of Richardson, but because it wasn't a position of need.

Either way I'm happy as Fuq.

 

Coples 6-6 285

 

Richardson 6-3 300

 

completely different types of players. Coples can play OLB. Richardson? no fuging way.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
