The Jets closed a sad and embarrassing chapter Wednesday when the Last of the Mohicans from the brutal 2012 draft class officially cut the cord with the franchise. Free agents Demario Davis and Antonio Allen signed elsewhere leaving a grand total of zero players from the eight plucked by former general manager Mike Tannenbaum four years ago.
There are no free lunches amid the cutthroat win-now culture of the NFL, but you couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Mike Maccagnan. The draft is supposed to be the core of your team. Maccagnan, frankly, inherited a roster with little depth thanks, in large part, to poor choices in recent drafts.
