For those Jets fans who have only been around for a short time and think that because the Jets landed quarterback Sam Darnold, safety Jamal Adams, and to a degree, defensive lineman Leonard Williams in the top 10 of the draft over the past four seasons, here’s a quick reminder; picking early in the draft guarantees nothing.
Yes, Darnold looks to be the team’s first franchise quarterback in almost fifty years, Adams just got his first All Pro and Pro Bowl nods and hopes are high that Williams can get back to looking like a future Pro Bowler himself as he was an alternate a couple of seasons ago before his production slipped in recent years.
