It's very early but I'm really intrigued about all the positive feedback Hansen is getting. This guy showed some flashes last year and can be a real weapon if he continues to come along. I mean with all these mid-late rd flier Wide Receivers Macc has been drafting it's only a matter of time I guess before you finally hit on one. Could be a real threat as that slot receiver type

agreed, Watson still has a lot to prove I just think it's worth mentioning.

Look, I'm very happy the Jets got Darnold and find his strategy to basically take a mulligan on last year's season very interesting but at the same time I'm not sure it should necessarily be lauded as this genius decision. Everyone seems to forget because he did get hurt but DeShaun Watson looked like an absolute stud last year and was there for the taking without any need to trade picks and we completely passed on him. Time will tell on this one it's very early and this post might look completely asinine in a few years but I don't think that's something that should go unmentioned in this grand plan.

Agreed, if it was the Jets who picked him at 10 everyone here would've said how much they love his attitude and the chip on his shoulder so it's all relative.

I don't begrudge the guy for trying to make as much money as he could during his career, football is a brutal sport and you never know when it will end. What I do begrudge him for is how he completely dogged it and didn't try in his second stint with the team. Now, we were the ones dumb enough to pay him as much as we did so we should take partial blame but he did not try at all the last few years he was here and was just here for the paycheck. It seemed like once he got his ring with New England the motivation was just gone.

yep I hate to be a debbie downer but the lack of a pass rush is still very concerning to me

lol is this supposed to be his attempt at damage control? Yea I'm sure teams are going to be lining up to sign him after he basically admitted to not trying.

The pessimist in me can't help but believe that the Jets are considered a final four team just to drive the price up. I do think Kirk will take a meeting and hear them out b/c of the cap space but I don't see how we can compete with Minnesota if they're even close on money. With that being said, I really hope if we miss out Macc doubles down at QB by signing Bridgewater and drafting a QB. I have no interest in bringing McCown back, nothing against the guy but he's not the future, if they like him so much as a mentor offer the QB coach job. Bring in Bridgewater/McCarron/Tyrod and draft a QB and let them battle it out.

I saw this idea floated around somewhere and thought it was sort of interesting. I'll preface this by saying I have zero expectations for Hack at this point and I think that his ceiling is probably a backup QB at this point. But, I did hear the theory that by signing Cousins Hack could still be in play for the future sounds crazy but Hack is still only 22 years old and we would most likely be signing Cousins to a 3-5 year deal meaning at worst Hack would be 27/28 by the time Cousins' deal is over. Not at all a likely scenario but also not completely crazy either.....

I wouldn't give up a2 for him but if we draft a QB I'd rather take him as our "insurance policy" type guy in case the pick isn't ready vs. McCown. At least the guy is young and has some upside. He's not great but he could hold the fort if necessary. If we were to go that route though I'd rather try and get Bridgewater if he becomes available. Again, not to necessarily be the starter of the future but to compete with our draft pick. Teams like the Eagles and Seahawks have shown that it makes sense to sort of hedge your bets at the QB position until you find one. Let McCown be the new QB coach under Bates if he's interested.

agreed not to mention QB's of Cousins caliber just don't normally become available, not saying he's an all-time great but he's a good QB who would immediately make this team better and set us up for the next 5-7 years at the position. If we had a top 3 pick I would probably be against signing Cousins b/c I'd rather draft a guy and have him under my control at a much cheaper rate but with our draft position it's going to cost a fortune to trade up and now all you're doing is setting that young QB up to fail b/c you have no draft picks left to build around him. The best plan right now is to sign Cousins and try to fill other holes through the draft and FA. I mean if we were to sign Cousins and one of the young QB's were to fall in the draft it could be us in an even better position to trade that #6 pick and acquire even more picks.

Miami is interesting team with Tannehill getting hurt this year and the fact that he's never really shown the ability to take that next step you wonder if would take a shot at a QB in 1st rd. Someone like Josh Allen could be a decent landing spot for him with an offensive minded HC and the fact that they wouldn't need him to step in and start Day 1.

This is exactly it. Whether Mehta was right or not in his reporting is irrelevant, what the real concern should be about is whether or not Woody was influenced by that article. Now, it's only speculation that Marrone wasn't hired b/c of this but if you take a step back and want to be fair about it, the whole way Marrone left Buffalo was a red flag and maybe after Woody and his people did some digging they realized on their own he wasn't worth the risk. Either way that's the story more so than Manish and he's desperate reporting.

That's sort of the danger of this past season. Too much talk about this team supposedly "overachieving" at 5-11 and being competitive in most games and not enough talk about all the holes we still have on this roster. We desperately need a #1 CB, and a pass rusher on defense (both premium positions) and on offense we need to find a QB obviously, another WR, a Center (I think our o-line is actually not bad a weak link our center can cause havoc on the rest of the o-line), and a RB at least. Again, all premium positions. I know we have a lot of cap space but it's tough to see most of this getting fixed in one offseason.

Cousins would be my first choice for the Jets just because he's a known commodity vs. any of these guys in the draft who are not Andrew Luck like sure things at all. But with that being said, if he doesn't end up with the Jets I'm hoping he either goes to Clev. or Denver. Both teams are in front of us so the hope if they wouldn't draft another QB giving us a chance to get a QB at six or possibly trade down. Still have a hard time believing he'll go to Clev. and obviously see it more as a move to try and drive his price up.
