Because it was the correct position to swing for.  If you don’t have a QB there is no other use of a high draft pick.

if only you were that objective with Beane and Co. 

 

The Jets passed on the following players:

Kyle Pitts

Jamarr Chase

Jaylen Waddle

Penei Sewell

Pat Surtain

Devonta Smith

Justin Fields

Micah Parsons

 

All were taken in the following 10 picks. A who’s who of pro bowlers and elite players. 
 

Drafting for position - fitting a square peg in a round hole - at #2 overall is much worse than Beane taking a flyer on a DE in the second round. 

Heck even Mac Jones was there later in the mid 1st. Hes been light years better than Wilson. 
 

My overall point is to maintain objectivity. Since 2019, the Buffalo Bills are 3rd in the NFL in wins. The Jets have been an epic disaster and have been 2nd to last during the same time period.

It was an ominous sign that our 2nd rd pick Basham when we desperately needed juice off the DL was inactive game after game his rookie year

They didn't though..

 

So much of a GM/HC success is based off hitting on a QB.  

 

Hit on a QB, and then all of a sudden the owner is willing to spend... build a contender and all of a sudden talented vet FA's are willing to sign for a bit less to play on your team... and so on...

 

If Beane didn't hit on Josh Allen, I highly doubt he or McDermott are still here.   And that's not an indictment on them.. it's just how it works.  

 

It's why Douglas/Salah really need Rodgers to work out, because they already blew it with Zack Wilson, despite all the other strong picks/decisions. 

That is basically the point I was making.  So many want to criticize without looking at the wins.  It also seems many people think other teams don't make draft mistakes.
