I can't remember when the jets had drafted a receiver in the first round and was a success.clue me in
Keyshawn did well here. Moss is doing decent in WAS but nothing truly amazing. Had a good year last year. Al Toon in 1985 Lam Jones in 1980 (great pick if you ask me, he just missed the HOF)
dont use anything from past jet teams to find out what to do jet teams in the last 40 years have been nfg jan 1983 jets get to conference championship game and lose to the dolphins a week later head coach michaels is fired the only time our fo was good was when parcells was here----and even he couldnt draft he brought in vinny as a fa----and traded for curtis martin and we had a good team
No one can nail all the picks. S. Ellis is fine, J. Abraham is one of the best pass rushers in the league... Chad P would've been worth the pick if he wasn't a china doll (no one can predict that, that's just bad luck)....
All Jets Wideouts in round 1. I bolded those that made a solid impact: 2001 16 Santana Moss 1996 1 Keyshawn Johnson 1985 10 Al Toon 1980 2 Lam Jones The rest of WRs drafted by the Jets all time: 6 171 Marcus Henry 7 235 Chansi Stuckey 4 103 Brad Smith 7 240 Harry Williams 4 108 Jerricho Cotchery 3 78 Laveranues Coles 5 143 Windrell Hayes 6 174 Chris Brazzell 3 88 Dedric Ward 2 31 Alex Van Dyke 4 107 Tyrone Davis 7 217 Curtis Ceaser 2 41 Ryan Yarborough 4 117 Orlando Parker 5 129 Kenny Shedd 11 293 Eric Boles 2 28 Reggie Rembert 6 140 Terance Mathis 9 223 Dale Dawkins Rob Moore 5 126 Tony Martin 6 153 Titus Dixon 6 161 Tracy Martin 3 78 Jo-Jo Townsell 9 247 Bobby Humphery 11 301 Mike Harmon 2 47 Ralph Clayton 12 314 Paul Darby 8 197 Derrick Gaffney 2 33 Wesley Walker 5 116 Perry Griggs 12 326 Don Buckey 8 193 James Scott 11 272 David Knight 3 66 Gary Hammond 11 266 Vern Studdard 9 228 Eddie Bell George Sauer Jim Evans
Keyshawn was definitely a success. He played here for 4 seasons and had 4 very productive years and when we traded him we ended up with two first round picks in return. Seems pretty successful to me.
Jets # 1 WRs Keyshawn was never worth the # 1 over all pick or the picks Tampa Bay gave up for him. A good but never more than a tall possesion WR. Al Toon was a great WR for the Jets, an all time Jets great, but he is paying for all those trips across the middle these days. He will always be remembered as the guy we took instead of Jerry Rice Moss was actually a good WR but Chad could never get him the ball deep. And for some reason seemed to only have heart and courage once he left NY. Johnny Lam Jones is now a punchline. And not to forget Rob Moore taken in the supplemental draft. He made one pro bowl and was traded to AZ. Decent but not that good, sad to say
well keyshawn was a success, but al toon is obviously the best wr ever drafted in the first by the jets. not even close really.
did the jets really draft that many losers?other then toon,wesley walker.the rest were a disaster.what kind of scouting did the jets have?ugh
thats over 40 years, and there are teams that would have the same percentage. 43 WRs in 43+ years drafted by the Jets.
With the exception of a few most of those guys were pretty low round picks. What that demonstrates to me is that the Jets never have made WR a high priority in the upper rounds.
