Which teams are having the best draft?

I think the Jets are having a GREAT DRAFT, one of their best in decades, and if anyone thinks I'm just being a homer, you should have heard me during last years draft, after each pick I wanted to slit my wrists.

I could not be more impressed with our new GM, first in free agency, and now he is killing it in the draft too.

If there's a team that is having a better draft than the Jets, they must be having one hell of a draft.

How do you see the jets having a great draft? They drafted Leonard Williams who will be a part time player with the 6th overall pick. He won't start over Mo or Rich and Bowles is not switching to a 4-3. BPA or not, it was not a need position. Five other teams ahead of us drafted for need. Now our 2nd and 3rd RD picks I am happy with.

Chicago is having a good draft.

How did the Giants beat the Pats?? By getting pressure in Brady's face. We added even more options on the DL.

As others have said, we just don't know for sure until 1-2 years from now.

But I'll say this: the Williams pick at 6 was theft, and Bryce Petty was a GREAT pickup in the 4th round. If Smith gives us a vertical threat next year, and Mauldin gives us something, this draft could be historic.

Whenever you draft the best player in the draft. You are having a good draft. And Bowles will have Richardson, Williams and Wilkerson on the field a lot together. Everyone scratched there head when the Giants would keep taking DL with the drafts they had Strahan and Osi why Tuck why Kiwanuka. 2 Super Bowls later we know why you take the BPA and figure the rest out later. And Again Williams was not only BPA he was the best player in this draft. The guy plays the run, has great pas rush ability and has a motor that doesn't quit. In other words he is Sheldon Richardson but more athletic.

And Rd 2 Smith is the burner type WR we need and he isn't a one trick pony. Yes that's what OSU had him do a lot but the kid worked hard to show he can run the all the routes since the Champion game

Rd 3 this Mouldin kid is special. Plays with a high motor. Much faster in game than combine numbers. Very athletic.

Yes we have had a great draft. If you don't like the Williams pick fine. But I remember everyone saying the same thing about us picking Richardson and ok pretty sure everyone loves that pick now.

I'm still not happy with it, but after today's draft and trade, I can honestly say, "we had a damn good Draft"!

i do understand why you don't like the 1st round pick, so i'm not gonna try and change your mind.

but you gotta admit, it's not a terrible thing that part of the draft you didn't like netted the jets perhaps the best player in the draft (certainly one of the top 3) :)

Jets by far have had the best draft. Not only did we get all the players we got, whether they were need position, value players or he best player in the draft period but we traded for Zac Stacy. Only for a 7th rounder in next years draft. Were talking about a 24 yr old 220 pound RB that ran for just shy of 1,000 yards two years ago. Don't know why he fell out of gracies with the Rams last year but I'm guessing he will be pumped to prove them and everyone else wrong who doubted him. This was a hell of a draft and if our 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks can step up major for us, especially Petty at some point it will be historic.

It was the seventh rounder in this draft we got in the trade back in round 3

Best pick (first round)

Leonard Williams, DE, drafted sixth overall by the New York Jets. I freaking loved this pick. Was the defensive line already a strength for the Jets? Uh, yep. Does it matter? No. New York wasn't going to get a quarterback unless it moved up, and frankly, Gang Green needs to give Geno Smith a longer look, anyway. So the Jets took arguably the very best player on the board. This isn't unprecedented; Minnesota had two 1,000-yard receivers in Cris Carter and Jake Reed in 1998, but that didn't stop the Vikings from scooping up Randy Moss with the 21st overall pick. Going BPA will never go out of style.

Drafts I liked

New York Jets: They didn't reach on a quarterback, waiting until the fourth round to add Bryce Petty. Defensive end Leonard Williams, meanwhile, was an incredible value buy at sixth overall. Wideout Devin Smith can develop behind Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall. Linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin fortifies an intimidating front seven. The only thing shorter than these sentences are the yards per carry opposing running backs will get. I wouldn't anticipate much from Petty this year. If Geno Smith falters, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and not the rookie, will be driving the bus. Heck, the Jets will only need to score 17 points per game to win this year anyway.

:nudie:

Drafts that have me worried

Buffalo Bills: The Bills, of course, didn't have a first-round pick, having given it up to land Sammy Watkins at last year's draft. The player they took when they finally got on the clock -- cornerback Ronald Darby -- does not fill a primary need; whether he was the top corner left is also debatable. Guard John Miller's former head coach at Louisville, Charlie Strong, said on NFL Network that "he could get a lot better." That's not necessarily a bad thing, and Miller's versatility could be Bonus City when injuries strike. Ultimately, though, these picks felt like reaches.

Patriots didn't have a bad Draft. They picked some good players. Had a reach in Rd 2, but they did well. Of Course, not as good or anywhere near the Jets.

It's been said before but some Jet fans could go to a orgy with all beautiful women and complain about the wine.. It's just who they are..LOL

Whaaaat?! Bowles is NOT switching to a 4-3? Are you nuts? I virtually guarantee you he IS switching to a 4-3. You do NOT draft a player of that caliber and NOT allow him playing time. Todd Bowles will do whatever makes his team play the best and having Williams on the field will be a key addition.

This is an incredibly naïve post.

This is an incredibly naïve post.
Bowles has ALWAYS made liberal use of 4 DL in his hybrid 3-4 system.
This isn't even a suspect move. It could be argued the Jets dd not have enough down linemen for Bowles to implement his brand of 3-4 football, after losing Ellis in FA.
Williams will see his fair share of snaps as a rookie, in rotation if nothing else.

HYATT is thinking Ozzie really hit it out of the park for his QB.
FIVE new toys for Flacco in this draft.

CIN, in keeping with the Brown family finally getting their scouting house in order, once again smoked everyone else in the AFCN, except perhaps BAL.
HYATT™ calls it for BAL, but it's close enough to be a tie and go to OT.

The NFCN seemed to help itself above normal as well, except for Green Bay - which HYATT™ believes had one of the worst drafts of any team.
Of course the press will continue to polish Terd's knob until it shines brighter than the Lombardi - but what else is new in the bobble-head blogosphere?

OAK, as previously mentioned, hit it big for a 2nd year straight. Reggie is finally finding his stride as a GM out there - but still has a long way to go to be truly competitive in that AFCW division.
For a team on the verge of losing it's franchise QB, SD didn't do much to make Phillip any happier.
Andy Reid seems to finally have found the light in his WR blind spot. It only took him a decade & a half.

For a draft with not so much top tier talent, a LOT of teams seemed to find players that are a match to their system and will make a difference.
Perhaps that is why so many pundits are nodding their heads and passing out only C- or higher grades when usually at least a half dozen teams get a D or even an F.

It was a good year for depth and rebuilding, but few teams will change their standings as a result of the draft alone.
Mostly they were able to fill a few holes with 2nd tier players and development prospects - and replenish defections and retirement damages.

The Raiders are probably a year away from seriously challenging in the Afc West. ( probably looking at 8-8 in 2015) . The Raiders are going to be pretty tough on both sides of the ball in 2015( going to be very tough to run on them). Biggest question is how will a very young cb group( Raiders love these kids) going to hold up . They improved so much in coverage with their Lb corps.( not to mention quality of depth)

With the soon to be release of James Jones( poor mans M Crabtree) they have totally rebuilt their wr corps. 1. Amari Cooper 2 Rod Streater( missed most of 2014 to injury) 3 . Michael Crabtree 4. Brice Butler( very similar skill set to Kevin White) 5. Josh Harper( Carr college Wr) 6. Seth Roberts- hid him on practice squad. was the best wr in their training camp last year who just needed to get stronger 7 Andre Debose ( punt returner + Kick returner specialist)
Biggest battle going to be at Rg and Rt as those positions are wide open . ( a lot of guys competing for those positions .

I did not like the 1st Rd pick because it was obviously not a need pick. Everyone has Leonard Williams already lined up for Canton. Now the Giants pop up and it seems they won 2 Super Bowls because of the DL. They also had a QB which some fail to recognize. Year in and year out its the same thing at draft time. "What a great Draft by the Jets"! I've heard it for years. You will never, ever have 100% happiness in a Draft. Unfortunately this is my year.

yet you gave the jets an A+ grade...or was that you being sarcastic?

you are right that williams wasn't a need pick. wouldn't have been the direction i went either (i would have gone with white). but WR wasn't a huge need for the jets considering they already have decker, marshall and kerley at WR and amaro as a receiving TE. so if you really want to draft for NEED, you have to reach for an OLB or an O-lineman or a QB (maybe they could have taken petty in the 1st). not sure how reaching for need is better than taking perhaps the best overall player in the draft.

Says who? Honestly anyone over the age of 25 should know by now that fans of just about every team in the NFL are feeling pretty good right now. Did they all win the draft??? Of course not, anyone that claims to know just how good each draft class is, much less any player, is full of Sh#$.

I gave the Jets an A+ mainly because they drafted well after the 1st Rd. The jets have sucked when drafting after Rds 1. Williams may be the next great DT in football, then again he may be a pure bust. That could be said for anyone drafted. Only time will tall. We are not old on the DL as we are at WR. We are all arm chair GM's on this site, otherwise we would not be here. Each varies with different opinions. Do we know for sure if the Jets war room was 100% for Williams? We don't. Just like here. I was out voted, so I will live with it.

Sorry, but you make a statement like anyone knows what they just got in the draft and it tells me something. I just have a vastly different opinion of the "Draft" and the value of "Draft Grades". It's nonsense and even the so called "Draft experts" are proven wrong 50% of the time. So no there's no need to fight about it three years will tell you what you do and don't have.
