Jets release Mazi

[Robbieac]

Worst 1st-Round Picks per AI. Mazi might be ranked #5:


Scott Appleton (1964, 4th overall): Dallas drafted the star tackle high, but he chose to sign with the American Football League instead and never played a single snap for the team.

---

Morris Claiborne (2012, 6th overall): The Cowboys traded up to draft him, passing future Hall of Famers like Luke Kuechley and Bobby Wagner. He struggled with injuries and inconsistent play during his time in Dallas.

---

Taco Charlton (2017, 28th overall): Picked right before star pass rusher T.J. Watt, Charlton managed only four sacks and was released before finishing his rookie contract.

---

Bobby Carpenter (2006, 18th overall): Drafted out of Ohio State with high expectations, Carpenter barely started any games and became a deep backup before moving to other teams.

I want the Cowboys to re-sign him to the practice squad. Just to see this place explode with comments.

Cowboys zone would crash and it would take weeks to get it back up.please make this happen.

I vividly remember when we first signed him.

This place was off the walls bragging on him and what he was going to do with and for the cowboys

This is why I generally only comment on "play" until the game is over and the season is over

“I’m not worried about him, most DT’s in the NFL take at least 3-4 years to develop” seems to have been a common statement made around here during and after his first year.

And now this mantra is used by the crowd here on pretty much every draftee position.

NO, it doesn't take 3 years to have a strong impact and I love Landry and Parcells so spare me the what they said BS.

The automatic 3 year draft and develop hall pass given out here to draftees is pathetic.
Period.

Ekuban was not as bad as Mazi. Just got hurt a lot. Played decent when he was out there. Not at a first round level, but he did outplay Mazi.

I remember Ekuban making plays. I don't think Mazi ever made a play.
