" I couldn't care less about the team struggling. What we know is we can improve. Chad Pennington, our quarterback, missed the first part of the season, and we struggled. We're looking to next season, we're looking to make a noise now and ... I wanna kiss you!"

They had Brett Favre rated as the best player in the entire draft, but had spent their # 1 on Rob Moore in the supplemental- draft. They tried trading up but nobody would trade with them. Atlanta picked Favre 1 pick before the Jets and they settled for Browning Nagle.

The guy who had rated Favre so highly then took the GM job in Green Bay & traded for Favre the next year.

The five worst Jets first-round draft picks

1. Blair Thomas, running back (1990): The poster child for bad Penn State pro backs.

2. Johnny Mitchell, tight end (1992): Replaced by Kyle Brady, after starting two seasons. His 1999 training camp comeback lasted one day.

3. Mike Haight, guard (1986): Took three years to start, two more to lose it.

4. Roger Vick, fullback (1987): How do you take a fullback in the first round?

5. Russell Carter, cornerback (1984): Who? Exactly. And that was with the 10th overall pick.

The Jets picked Texas WR Johnny "Lam" Jones with the SECOND overall pick in the 1980 draft.

 

One pick later, the Bengals took Anthony Munoz. And with the 18th pick, the Redskins took the next available WR: Art Monk. :doh:

 

Anyone wondering why the Bengals went to two SBs, the Redskins three, and the Jets none in the next decade or so, look no further.
