1. They outright lied and claimed that Thomas, Davis, and Kelly were the highest rated players on their board to justify their actions.

2. Or as Gtripp alluded to their evaluation process is at the very least, incompetent, and they really did overvalue all three prospects.

What really happened will probably always be a mystery, but at the very least I'm scared that this years draft will have me feeling like all those past clips they show of Jet fans every year during the draft.

I think it's sort of a combination of the two. I think they had each prospect overvalued, and even if each player wasn't their "best available" at the time, Vinny is BS-ing and saying as much.

I love that we traded down and added extra picks, I just don't like what we did with those picks at this point (they could pan out well, who knows).

What pissed me off was how shy we were about cutting draft picks (having all 10 make the 53-man was a bit of a reach). To me, that had Vinny trying to save face for his draft written all over it. Further evidence was cutting Torrence mid-season and keeping Tryon. Dumb, stubborn, and counterproductive.
