How did I rank them, you might ask? Good question! I stacked them up according to their scores as calculated by my genius formula — proven to be 100% accurate and 0% arbitrary!Players earned points for accomplishing any of the following while in a Jets uniform:50 points for a first team All-Pro appearance25 points for a Pro Bowl appearance1 point for each point of Approximate Value (via Pro Football Reference - a number that aims to calculate a player’s total value)0.5 points for each regular season game playedYesterday, I continued the rankings at #4 with D’Brickashaw Ferguson. Let’s move up to #3!#11 - Jerricho Cotchery (94.5 points)#10 - Sione Pouha (107 points)#9 - Laveranues Coles (110.5 points)#8 - Bryan Thomas (141.5 points)#7 - Muhammad Wilkerson (148.5 points)#6 - David Harris (174 points)#5 - John Abraham (208.5 points)#4 - D’Brickashaw Ferguson (224 points)#3 - SHAUN ELLIS226 points: 91 approximate value (2nd among all Jets draft picks since 2000), 170 regular season games played (1st), two Pro Bowl appearancesPhoto by Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesBorn and attended high school in Anderson, South CarolinaSelected 12th overall by the Jets in the first round of the 2000 Draft (Tennessee)Played with Jets from 2000-10 and Patriots in 2011Career Jets regular season stats: 552 tackles, 80 tackles for loss, 73.5 sacks, 18 passes defended, 13 forced fumbles, 5 fumbles recovered, 1 interceptionCareer Jets playoff stats: 12 games, 44 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, 2 passes defended, 1 fumble recoveredFast facts (Stats are regular season only unless otherwise indicated)You rarely have to go far down the ladder to find Ellis on a Jets all-time list for a defensive stat. He is ranked second in team history in sacks (72.5), fourth in forced fumbles (13), and sixth in total tackles (552). He is tied with Mark Gastineau for 11th in approximate value (91), and fourth among defensive players. Since tackles for loss were first tracked in 1999, Ellis leads the Jets with 80 of those.No player has appeared in more Jets playoff games than Ellis, who was a part of 12 postseason contests during his tenure with the team. The Jets won six of those games, tying Ellis with Bryan Thomas for the most Jets playoff wins enjoyed by an individual.Ellis played a total of 182 regular season and playoff games for the Jets, placing him fifth on the franchise’s all-time list. He was a part of 94 Jets victories, tying him with Mo Lewis for the second-most in team history behind only Pat Leahy (113 wins). Ellis’ career winning percentage of .516 is the highest among the 20 Jets to appear in at least 150 games.Ellis posted 12.5 sacks in 2003 (sixth-best single-season total in Jets history) and followed it up with 11.0 sacks in 2004 (eighth-best). His 23.5 sacks over that two-year span placed him fourth in the league, and he was the only player to place top-15 in total tackles and top-five in sacks.Since the beginning of the Brady-Belichick era in 2001, Ellis ranks fourth in sacks against the Patriots (including the playoffs) White Wayne Chrebet Jerseys , with 11.0 in 21 games. 10.0 of those sacks came against Tom Brady, ranking Ellis fourth on the list of players to sack him the most behind Jason Taylor (12.5), Aaron Schobel (12.0), and Cameron Wake (10.5).Ellis had at least a half sack in 65 regular season and playoff games as a Jet, most in team history.

The idea here is to build a generic Big Board reflecting the community’s view of this year’s draft class regardless of the Jets’ (or any other team’s) particular needs. So for instance, the Jets do not need a QB this year, but that should not prevent you from placing a QB high on the Big Board. Each day we will close the previous day’s poll and the candidate with the most votes will be added to the GGN Big Board. In the event of a tie vote the tie will be broken by surname in alphabetical order. By the time the draft rolls around we should have enough players on our Big Board to cover two rounds of the draft.In the event I have made an egregious omission and a name you think should be on the poll is not there you can write in candidates in the comments section. If a player gets support in the comments section I’ll add him to the next day’s poll.Try not to get overly frustrated if your guy isn’t being voted to the top of the board. We all have different views and what we’re looking for here is a composite of the best players in the community’s collective mind. Your views may or may not coincide with the community’s, and either way that’s OK.So let’s get to it. Today we vote for the #41 prospect on the 2019 crowd sourced GGN Big Board. Who will it be? Vote early, vote often, and let’s hear who you think are the best players in this draft.
