If there’s one positive thing about being a brand new NFL GM taking over a team nearly bereft of talent, it’s that you may have a bit of extra time to spend in developing some of your young draft choices. After all, it’s not as if Jets GM Mike Maccagnan came to town with a robust group of quality players and few roster spots available. His predecessor, John Idzik, filled the roster with players who would have likely been viewed as camp bodies anywhere outside of his office.
However, with three drafts in the rear view mirror, another draft just around the corner, and a spending spree in free agency, it’s going to be time for Maccagnan to start dumping previous picks who have either failed to impress on the field, or haven’t been able to stay on it due to injury.
