While it was great to get an impact RB, their offensive struggles put things in perspective. Hitting on a QB, particularly a big pocket type who can benefit from the protections, settles your position for the next decade. Hitting on a RB, which they did, well, it sure is cool for highlight reels.
We need to wait a few years of course but I am certain their decision to pass on Darnold will haunt them. And I think the Jets are going to rise to prominence in the years ahead largely due to that one draft selection, and make that mistake very obvious.
