All of these rankings should also include UDFAs. The New York Jets had the worst draft of 2018 and their current roster has only one player of note to show for it. In the 6th round they drafted NT Folorunso Fatukasi and he has developed into a dominant player at what can be described as a menial position in 2021. What does a dominant nose tackle get you in 2021.
Look
3- Sam Darnold- the Jets traded 2 seconds and pick 6 (Quentin Nelson)- the return a 2nd, 4th and 6th.
72- Nathan Shepherd- a DT who has made no impact- not to mention why are you drafting a DT after a franchise QB. Waste of a pick.
107- Chris Herndon TE- had a great rookie year- nothing but a suspension since. The Jets signed UDFA Kenny Yeboah to the largest UDFA deal this year showing Herndon's position with the team.
179 Parry Nickerson CB- was cut and is playing well with the Saints- his being cut reflects the extent of the poor decision making.
180 Folorunso Fatukasi- dominant player and a less than impactful position.
207 Trenton Cannon RB- cut
The Jets are the worst because they drafted Darnold at 3 after trading 2 second round picks too move up. Darnold was turned into a 2nd, 4th and 6th. Who thinks that is a good return for the 3rd overall pick? Jamal Adams, taken at 6 the year before, was traded for 2 first round picks. Thhe Jets essentially have pennies on the dollar to show for Darnold who amounts to their first and second picks.
All the Jets have to show for the 2018 draft is a defensive lineman and a tight end with a chance of being cut in training camp. Their first and second rounders were one player traded for a second round pick. The rest of the players were cut. Find a team with less to show for this draft than the Jets.
