Meh, sportswriters are mostly idiots anyway.

That's complete BS

We addressed all our needs minus a OT

We got an incredible talent at DT/DE that took the year off because his coach took the fall for some BS at the school, which was a raw deal by everyone that knew what happened and the team fell apart, he fell to us at 16 and by all rights would have been a top ten guy IF he came out last year

We also MAY have stolen one of the best young WR prospects coming out in this draft

He went to a running program so his family could attend his home games instead of going to a school where he could have been a featured part of the offense

Additionally we landed a decent OLB, 2 safeties, a RB and another WR along with a OL guard

By no means is that close to falling in this draft

Never pay any attention to yahoo sports writers...that grade makes no sense.

As someone already mentioned, if coples came out last year he would have been a top 10 pick EASILY, even this year most mocks had him going in the top 10.

Hill was mocked as the 3rd receiver off the board and after he exploded in the combine many said he had potential to end up being the best receiver in the draft. I think he was one of the STEALS of the draft.

The rest of our picks addressed needs and IMO were all quality players. Davis has great potential...really adds speed to the LB position, something we lacked last year (other than Maybin).

We got J.White and A.Allen in the 7th. White had a record breaking year as far as catches and yards and Allen was projected to go in the 4th-5th if not earlier...you could say those two were steals as well...

Taking ganaway and griffin back to back was also a fantastic move...these guys obviously work well together and both picks address depth needs.

I give us an A...I'd give us an A+ if we made a move to take OT-Massie when he started free-falling down to the 4th rd. But i guess at that point we were done trying to move up.

I personally like the Tebow trade and believe we got a great football player for only a 4th rd. pick. This is not a matter of Tebow vs Massie...there's no guarantee we would've even taken Massie if we still had that 4th rd. pick.

I'm just saying Massie fell drastically and we needed an OT and could've moved up to get him via a player trade (Pace,Scott,E.Smith, etc. and maybe one of our 6th rd. picks or a pick next year or smthng) with Massie the VALUE is def. there so it would have been worth it...

So many sports writers choose to hate the Jets...not sure why. I don't even read Bucky Brooks articles anymore as he has no idea what he's talking about & clearly does not like the Jets (but not as bad as some others). I give the Jets a B+, I think they did very well. Was hoping they would not trade up above the #16 spot & they didn't...then was hoping they would trade up in the 2nd to get good offensive talent & they did. I was preparing for the worst (a Trent Richardson trade up) but was pleasantly surprised & I like their picks.
