Mayo named Defensive rookie of the year
 

Idk why he won this...i think flowers could have won it.

Or the unstoppable, incomparable Maurice Leggett.

Flowers should have been DROY and Eddie Royal should have been OROY. It should have been a Hokie sweep

Huh? He didn't even win his own teams award.

Another hit by Pioli.

Meh. A LB has won it 6 years in a row...it was still a reach IMO. Mayo is a good player, but not top 10 worthy...just because you rack up a lot of tackles doesn't mean you're a 'great' player.

Weak defensive rookie class...he deserves it but it doesn't mean it was some sort of amazingly great draft pick.

That's funny. He did an excellent job this season, AND NE traded down, and picked up extra picks. Great move IMO. Got the guy they wanted, and more.

Mayo would have been around if they selected around 15-25...it was a reach.

New England wanted Gholston, by the way...and we saw how good his rookie campaign turned out.

If Flowers was in NE and Mayo in KC, Flowers wins the award no questions asked.

Completely misused and buried behind stiffs by an idiot coaching staff who got shitcanned for their incompetence should not be an indictment of him, but rather the "play veterans at all costs" approach of the Jets and their Carl-esque thrust for 9-7 this year.

But Scott Pioli's draft record is overrated :rolleyes:

He may have been there, but they may not have been able to trade back that far. He was the guy they wanted, and they got him, and there's no guarantee he would have been there had they moved back too far.
They got their man, and extra picks. That is a successful trade. Not only that, but the guy turned out to be the most productive player drafted.
If you can't view that as a success....well..

I wonder how many games the Jets would have won with Chad Pennington as their QB?

I say 10...Favre SUCKED this year. Plain and simple. Turnover machine.

if we had won more than 2 freakin games some of our players might of received real consideration.
