Oh man, that a great moment. I was SHOCKED that Star was falling to us. When we turned in that pick that quickly, I just knew it had to have been Star. Great.. friggin.. night.. I was just glad that Richardson was off the board to ensure we didn't get him, lol. I didn't think he would have been a good fit for us

 

My sixth sense tells me that our pick wouldn't have been Richardson regardless. I feel we would have picked DeAndre Hopkins had Star been off the board.  We would have still picked Short in the second.

Our pick was Eifert if Star wasn't there.

I am not going to wish that the Richardson pick turns out to be a blunder because that would be wishing bad luck for him. From everything that I was reading at the time, Richardson was a great fit for the Jets, and Star not as much. I didn't expect them to pick Lotulelei.  I was more surprised that they picked Richardson over Floyd.  No one expected Floyd to fall out of the top 10, but several people had Star falling to us. Now, yes, I think Lotulelei is a better fit for us than Richardson may be for the Jets from what I was reading, but Richardson has the capacity to develop into a fine player for the Jets,

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.

 

we would have liked to see you in the chat room, Scotty. Us barbarians we're having a good ol time that day. It was memorable for me, hope you join in next year.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
