    The best part about this draft is the one word we can go all of 2014 without hearing:


    Wildcat


    If we go all of 2014 without throwing that jackass bullshit formation out there, I'll be a happy fucker. And this will have been a good off-season.

    That is all.

    Yes - we need first round talent at the WR position - not 3rd/4th round talent.

    That's probably the thing I like best about this draft, but there were other players with those characteristics that they passed on. Time will tell how good or how poor this draft was.

    Won't happen, at least in my case. Even if both Pryor and Amaro beast, the Jets will still have a second-rate WR corps. Saunders may be a very good PR, but at his size, I'll be surprised if he lasts 2 seasons.

    You may be right but size is not everything. Remember Desean Jackson 5.9 1/2 169 lb coming out of College. The same guy many on this site wanted us to desperately trade for. .
    I'm willing to see what Saunders really brings to the table. The only WR we could have gotten higher in the draft is Lee and the trade did not work, the rest were not in my opinion the stud complete WRs I would have traded up for. (Cook size was an issue too and Watkins was unreachable )

    LOVE the Jalen Saunders pick. Great route runner, think he will be a productive slot receiver and punt returner for this team. Great playmaker.

    I agree that size isn't everything. I am one of Cooks' biggest fans. He's short, but weighs 189 or about 25 pounds more than Saunders and 20 pounds more than Jackson, and is tough. He's never missed a game in high school or college. More importantly, Saunders has only a fraction of the talent of Cook. That said, I'm willing to see what he brings to the table and will be rooting for him. I just don't have very high hopes. I would have been fine with him if he was the 2nd or 3rd WR we took in the draft, but not the first.
