Comparing Mike Maccagnan's and John Idzik's Jets draft picks: Is there really a difference?

Come April, Mike Maccagnan will conduct his fourth draft as the Jets' general manager. The selection process is his speciality. After all, Maccagnan spent virtually his entire career in scouting departments before joining the Jets.

But have Maccagnan three drafts produced better players than Idzik's two? Let's take a look.
