Pull out the forceps and begin measuring Mike Maccagnan’s cranium for Canton. Oh and clear a spot in that almost empty trophy case at Atlantic Health Jets Training Center for another Lombardi Trophy.
Maccagnan didn’t just take six players over this past weekend.
He drafted hope for a franchise forever hopeless.
It was that good of a draft for the first-year general manager that fans of this team have actually started to believe that this thing can be turned around, that a franchise known as a joke can become a become a serious contender.
After an offseason where the Jets landed the biggest free agent on the open market in Darrelle Revis and by many accounts the top player in the draft, Leonard Williams, the green and white faithful don’t seem quite so despondent anymore.
