Clip of the Week : NFL draft
It’s that time of year again. The NFL Draft has come and gone, and everyone now has months to dissect and analyze each and every move their team made.
So you’re a little upset the Eagles took Kevin Kolb. You’re annoyed your Raiders traded Randy Moss for a fourth-round pick. You really didn’t want the Fins to take Ted Ginn instead of Brady Quinn.
At least you’re not a Jets fan.
There are simply too many blunders to list here, but let’s go through the highlights. Kyle Brady had every bit as much potential as Warren Sapp, didn’t he? Couldn’t Blair Thomas have been every bit as good as Emmitt Smith? I mean really, who would have known Dan Marino would do better than Ken O’Brien?
Oh yeah, Jets fans would.
The best part of this clip is the fans’ reactions. The Jets fans, usually the most vocal at the annual draft held in New York, are so crushed after each selection. The O’Brien selection elicits an ear piercing ‘no!’ from an angry fan. The Jeff Lageman pick drives a Bucs fan to dance and giggle in front of a mourner in green.
Watch as Mel Kiper reminds viewers that, ‘the Jets just don’t understand what the draft is all about.’
In the end, the Jets really shouldn’t worry, because the Man-Genius has come to right the ship. And really, what did the rest of those AFC East teams do this weekend, anyway?
