The Jets front office speaks about staying the course and sticking to the plan. But football is a results-oriented business, and any plan requires efficient execution.
For example, the Jets still must draft a feature wide receiver. Imagine had GM Mike Maccagnan not totally whiffed on Devin Smith, ArDarius Stewart and/or Chad Hansen (those three NFL washouts a combined 28 career receptions!). At press time, Sam Darnold‘s throwing to an undrafted free agent (Robby Anderson) and a John Idzik sixth-rounder (Quincy Enunwa).
There’d be no more mind-numbing talk of 2006’s trade of John Abraham had Maccagnan got anything out of edge-rushers Lorenzo Mauldin or Dylan Donahue.
