During his time as Jets general manager, Mike Maccagnan has held onto his draft picks tighter than his ubiquitous cup of coffee.
Maccagnan has been reluctant to cut his picks, but that might change this week. NFL teams must cut their rosters from 90 to 53 players by Saturday. Looking at the Jets roster, it is clear Maccagnan is going to have some difficult decisions to make on players he has drafted. At least eight of his draft picks appear to be on the roster bubble. He has cut only one draft pick on previous cut-down days.
When the Jets hired Maccagnan as general manager, they did it with his scouting pedigree in mind.
