Thanks for posting this. I usually don't find Peter King interesting in the least but love the day 3 draft insider coverage. It's amazing to me how much of the football world thinks that anything beyond round 3 is one long series of "Mr Insignificant" based on what a large percentage of NFL players weren't drafted at all.Faust said:
I think the stats show only 1/3 of the current NFL were drafted in the first 3 rounds.
That's a good stat. And I think something like ~1/4th weren't drafted at all. So even if the average fan thinks that those day three guys are inconsequential they really do make a difference.
I am not sure I would say either team had a good draft. Both had 2 top 10 picks and didn't obviously screw up with either. However after that the Giants draft was awful and the Jets made some questionable trade-ups. I do like Max Mitchell though.
The 4 guys mentioned in the article for The Jets make them noticeably better IMO. I'm not sure it puts them ahead of Buffalo or maybe even Miami, but they are in the running. I am not sold on the Giants. They drafted a couple first round guys but I don't love their offense and hate their QB. In a QB driven league it seems shortsighted to say they are on a path to any type of success with Danny Dimes back there.
