It’s kind of incredible that the Jets and the Giants hired maybe two of the worst GMs of all time in Maccagnan and Gettleman in the same window.

The worst draft pick of all time?

There is objectively no worse draft pick given the other options available, the team, and the trade, than mitchell d trubisky

I want to say it has to be a #1, but the trade makes this arguable in my mind.

The thing keeping it from being the worst draft move is how badly the niners bungled the haul they got from Chicago

While that was certainly disappointing and embarrassing for the Niners I don’t see how it factors for the Bears

his rookie contract is just about up and he’s yet to gain 4000 all purpose yards, his cap hit starts going up starting next season and he’s only been an especially good RB part of his rookie year. that seems fairly bustish

One genuinely good year is better than 50% of first found picks. Probably 50% of top 10 picks

this applies to a lot of positions though. if you remove a lynchpin player in-season it’s gonna gently caress you up, absolutely. Tackles, QB, RB, even WR1. But the dropoff from Derrick Henry (who I agree is a football god) to Najee Harris or Austin Ekeler isn’t nearly as meaningful as going from Lamar Jackson to Jalen Hurts, or Quentin Nelson to (idk guards really, let’s just say) Ben Braden.

an elite RB just won’t alter your offense in the same way adding an elite tackle or receiver could in today’s nfl. like if you could choose between your team having Henry or Nuk I think you’d be hard pressed to justify picking Henry

you also need like 5 linemen and 3 wrs for many formations, and there are only so many athletes at those positions, which require more unlikely body types. There are just a lot of average height guys who are really athletic, and you only need a couple of good rbs on your roster, so they're easy to replace.
