In the Super Bowl era, the Jests have drafted 5 quarterbacks with their 1st pick...
Joe Namath
Richard Todd
Ken O’Brien
Browning Nagle
Mark Sanchez
With the exceptions of O’Brien and Namath, the Jests SUCK at evaluating NFL caliber quarterbacks.
All they’ve done with this trade is continue to keep themselves in the cellarFin-O likes this. -
Indy about to get stacked. Theres no player in this draft worth what the jets gave up.

Jets are only going up there for a qb
That’s it.
You don’t pay that price for anything else. Well maybe a edge rusher but chubb doesn’t fit the 34. He’s a left side every down 43 de all the way with 8 to 12 sack potential and plus run d
That’s worth a top 5 pick in any class -
Either they are still working on swapping with the Giants or Browns, have a very good idea of who those teams will go with, or they are about equal on the QB evaluations. Perhaps they wanted to prevent the Bills or another team from jumping them with the Colts, who were an obvious move down candidate. -
It appears now the Bills will probably move to #2. So the Browns are now going to have to pick a QB #1 (I think) unless they have 4 they like (unlikely). Which means the first 3 picks will be QBs, and 4 of the first 5 picks will be QBs (either Denver will pick a QB or I suspect drop down).
If you are at #11, this does push other talent down the board. The Colts moving back is good for the the Browns who can also get Barkley at 4. Wow.mbsinmisc likes this. -
I am still curious to see if the Jets have another move planned to swap with New York. It's hard to think they have 3 equal values on QBs. -

This was a desperation move because they didn't land cousins.This also might have priced the bills out from moving up to 2.

A poorly run team like the Colts have been so fortunate over the years.

I'm not convinced the Jets needed to make this move...
The Browns, Giants, and Broncos are not locks to take QBs. The Browns have Tyrod Taylor and might prefer to add two difference makers out of Barkley, Chubb and Fitzpatrick. They also have the assets to trade back into the first round for Lamar Jackson or Mason Rudolph. The Giants and Broncos might try to add a difference maker to try and "win now". And the Colts already have two starting caliber quarterbacks in Luck and Brissett, so they would be going for a difference maker.
So had they stayed at six, they could have got their guy without giving anything up. Obviously there is a risk that a team trades up above them, but as it stands they have given up three second round picks and are not guaranteed to take the first quarterback. Instead, they could end up picking the third quarterback off the board if this move forces the Browns to take a quarterback with their first pick rather than their second and the Giants decide to add Eli's successor.
Plus this is discounting Teddy Bridgewater. Okay he has a lot to prove after his knee injury, but he was highly rated at the end of the 2015 season and arguably was on his way to establishing himself as the Vikings' franchise quarterback. He is well worth the prove it deal they gave him and if he does return to form they have their franchise quarterback. They didn't need to make this move because they could have stayed put and drafted a quarterback at six or just banked on Bridgewater regaining form, and if he didn't look at going QB next year.mbsinmisc likes this. -

Bonus to the jets trading up is that it either knocks the Bills plans out of whack (This move is a direct response to the Bills jump to 12) or forces them to pay a greater sum to the Giants or Browns. -

If Ryan comes back strong and is a beast than I can understand but we always seem to not get lucky with comebacks -

That tells me a solid LB will be there in Edmunds or Smith, we could land Fitzpatrick or James at safety, or we could even go with a Calvin Ridley to take the best WR in the draft. I also have a feeling Vea may still be on the board and he'd probably be my #1 overall pick. But if 4 QB's go early and teams suddenly get desperate with this fairly strong QB class, I could actually see Barkey falling into our laps the way Tunsil did.
So realistically I want Vea, but I'm secretly hoping for a lot of dumb teams to give us Barkley.mbsinmisc likes this. -
I don't think this is such a great QB class. There is Darnold, who is the top guy, but then there is Rosen, who has issues with injuries, concussions. There is Baker, who I like a lot, but there are some issues which could give some GMs some pause, such as the height, the attitude, the spread O, etc. There is Allen with the accuracy issues. There is Jackson who some have considered making him a WR. Obviously, only time will tell and I may be rationalizing the fact that we probably won't get one, but still...:smile:. As far as the Jets go, this is certainly not a lock to get a great QB. S--t, they liked Hackenberg. Who knows?

Probably a smart decision with Brady nearing retirement. Risky, though, as they all could bust easily.

This was a dumb move by the jets. Gambling everything on this year's QB class is not a good Idea. All of the top QBs are boom or bust types with serious question marks. I don't see an Aaron Rodgers or Dan Marino in this year's draft. Unless they are sure one of these QBs is that type of player then this is a stupid move.
