Boos, busts and blunders: New York Jets battle history of imperfect 10s in NFL draft

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- They once drafted a defensive tackle who had no cartilage in one knee.

They selected a cornerback who had spent more time in surgery than The Good Doctor.

They picked a tight end who never caught more than 27 passes in a college season and a wide receiver/track star who had played in a wishbone offense.

And they were all chosen in the top 10.

The New York Jets have an inglorious history of top-10 picks, an array of head-scratchers and faux blue-chippers who never reached expectations and faded into the great green ether.
