  1. 1. Should the Jets draft a QB in the first round

    • Absolutely. Especially if the top two are available.

    • No. Better spend it on another position

Since we're going to be picking outside of the Top 2 spots in the draft and probably won't be able to get Mariota, then I'd say "no".  This team is so lacking for talent at every single position that it wouldn't be wise to take one of the two QBs not named Mariota or Winston with a first rounder this season.

I would like Bryce Petty of Baylor, but not sure if he will last to second round. Jets - for sure - need OT help and six is a prime spot for one. Ferguson is overrated and Giacomini stinks. Grab an OL in round one and keep fingers crossed for Petty of Garrett Grayson of Colorado State in second round. Keep Idzik around and he'll want to see Geno Smith for a THIRD time to really, really, really make sure he isn't the guy.

Petty is a mid rounder at best. He played in an offense that is more gimmick than the one Johnny Football played in last year. He is similar to Geno in that he is a one read QB. A team with an established QB might be able to develop him down the road, but he would be worse than Geno here.

I would be 100% on board with drafting Connor Cook if he decided to come out. He's your prototypical pocket passer and he's got the best pocket presence out of all the available quarterbacks. He'd be my guy at #6.

 

I would be ok with Mariota in green and white, big no to Jameis Winston.

Now that we will be picking somewhere 5-10 I say trade back. hopefully we hire a new GM and make some trades for extra picks as well. Its really time to clean house, get rid of older players with big contracts like Harris, Mangold, Dbrick.  SInce Mariota is now a pipe dream, get Petty or Cook and sign Jake Locker as the starter next year.

I'm good with Locker as the opening day starter……but who's gonna start week 2?

I hope Cook declares, but I can see the Titans grabbing him as he is the type of QB Ken W likes and Tampa will grab Mariota, if we come away with Cooper I will be happy. You never know though like a previous poster stated there is always a QB that rises during the offseason. I f we are drafting at 6 i think we will not have a shot at a QB or Cooper. We have to be aggressive if we want a particular player, but with Idzik running the show I have zero confidence.
