    And how long do you expect Aaron Glenn to be here? Its a GM's job to build a team. Typical NYJ questionable scenario-- guy retires right after draft and we could have gotten a possible backup with maybe starting creds in rd 4. Holy shit.

    Don't forget about James Morgan. The second-worst GM in NFL history used a 4th rounder on him.

    Of course a 5th round pick is likely to fail anyway, but what I hated about JD is that he NEVER could get good players with any picks below very top of the second round. Once you leave the top of the second, that's it! His probability of success is significantly worse than that of a blind man pointing at a random draft board for a selection. You could literally print out some random draft guide with draft prospects, close your eyes and randomly stick your finger at a printout, and you will do MUCH better than JD did past top of the second round.

    Douglas couldn’t pick a QB to save his life

    The problem is that most draft for other teams have same result, it only looks bad because we see it on the field.

    If we were fans of another team their picks would look the same. Hit on some good ones and whiff on others.

    Which ones did JD hit on though after top of the second? Michael Carter, anyone else? He was well below average there, probably the worst in the NFL.

    Feel bad for the kid. It definitely became sus when the jets gave zero update on him basically his entire tenure.

    Bryce Hall was a good pick up, played well and then they fazed him out for some reason.
    Brendon Echols as well.
    Michael Carter2 who you mentioned.

    Seems he was decent at picking CBs lol

    Hall is a minimum level player. Echols is somewhat above that. Carter is sold. That's simply not enough given how many draft he had and the capital he spent. His best 3d round pick investment in 6 opportunities was trading for Adams for 3/4 of a year. Just an awful evaluator not matter how you slice this. To have so many picks and has this high a failure rate once it gets a little past top of the second is terrible. It's quite a bit worse than just picking guys randomly.

    When he was drafted people here were making it like he was our next franchise Qb, just more proof how dumb this organization is and how incompetent the medical staff that penny pinching fool Woody hired is.
