Can someone recap the trade backs we've had so far and what we got for them because its hard to grasp what the **** is actually taking place. 

Can't give the ins and outs, but this is what we have RIGHT NOW:

NFL Draft 2017:
1st Round (#6 Overall):  Jamal Adams, SS, LSU
2nd Round (#38):  Marcus Maye, SS, Florida
3rd Round (#79):  ArDarius Stewart, WR, Alabama
4th Round (#141 From Rams):
5th Round (#150):
5th Round (#160 From Vikings):
6th Round (#191):
6th Round (#197 From Rams):
6th Round (#204 From Tampa):
7th Round (#224):

[section314]

If we have every pick in the 6th round, we have to find Tom Brady, right?

[Greenseed4]

Years from now, Macc is going to tell his grandchildren how he turned how he turned 7 picks into 10 picks.  He will conveniently fail to mention that 5 of them were in the 6th round. 

[Persiussa]

With all these trade backs I think the Jets are gonna try to build the special teams unit with low round picks.

Long Answer: YES

[ChuckkieB]

What the f##k is the strategy here?  To replace our current roster of stiffs with projects and reaches and more late round stiffs?  Accumulating players is great, but if they are all late round question marks, what did we really accomplish???

Totally doesn't jive with taking a safety in rounds 1 and 2 when the trade down was available.  

i hear you, but they are relying on their draft board up high, now playing the odds with many picks today.  it's logical.

[BurnleyJet]

Looks alike a 6th Rounder 13th pick plus their pick no 35 in the 4th.

[Butterfield]

Lol, people will complain no matter what.

[Fantasy Island]

Traded the 4th round pick. If you can't see what an idiot we have in the FO, then I can't help you.

It's like he's trying to guess the number instead of picking red or black/odds or evens.  lmfao

Apparently, yes, this is in fact our "strategy".

But...we still have a pick in the 4th? We just acquired more picks.

There is no defending this clown show anymore. Bowles was already a lost cause, but Mac has joined him. 2 dead men walking.

We may have lost about 6 games in the last 2 years due to poor special teams play.  It may not be exciting but we have to fix it.  Would love to see one of these picks turn into donell pumphrey.

First they rip Mac for not trading down and then when he does it he gets killed. Looks like they have similar grades on these players and can fill more spots. They could also trade up if someone they like is available. 

Totally - because there's no difference in what you get back when you trade down at #6 as opposed to all those 6th round picks we're adding.  No difference at all.

He will trade it for a 6th and 7th, just wait.

[Ohio State NY Jets fan]

Three Jets trades so far;

1- Traded their third-round No. 70 overall pick to Vikings for their third-round No. 79 overall pick (drafted WR Ardarius Stewart) and their fifth-round No. 160 overall pick.

2 - Traded their third-round No. 107 pick to Buccaneers for their fourth-round No. 125 overall pick and their sixth-round No. 204 overall pick.

3 - Traded their fourth-round No. 125 overall pick to Rams for their fourth-round No. 141 and their sixth-round No. 197 overall pick.

To help you understand:

Trading down from #6 nets you a later 1st Rounder Pick and a 2nd Round Pick and a 6th Round Pick (or more).  I.e. One possible starter for two possible starters and a late-round flyer.

Trading down in the 4th nets you a later 4th and a 6th.  i.e. One borderline starter for an even more borderline guy, plus the aforementioned late round flyer pick.

The funny thing is this is how he did The draft last year, guess peeps forgot

[fltflo]

You trade back in the 1 & 2 to acquire late 2nd and more 3rd and 4th round picks
You don't trade back in the 3rd and 4th to grab lots of 6 round picks who are nothing but camp fodder

So what do you think the #141 pick will be? I think I would like O-Line but I don't really know enough to tell. 

[NYs Stepchild]

This was a very top heavy draft but very deep as well. Can we wait and see who we get before complaining. Looks to me from most draft boards that 4th through 6th round is very small drop off. Time will tell. 

Then again I want what I want and I want it now. Fire everyone.

So, moving forward, it was the 107th pick into 141,197,204. 

Dropping 34 spots in the higher round and adding two late picks. Welp. Maybe it works, maybe not.

I think it's a strategy to see if you can set a record for the most 6th round picks in a draft.

Half of these back end picks won't even make the roster and maybe 1 or 2 will contribute on some minute scale. Brilliant.

Love the extra picks, who knows whats what out there.. we need bodies in camp!

i get it.  but mccags clearly is going by his draft board.  he didn't want to pass on adams or maye, he picked maye as soon as they were on the clock.  today the draft grades are probably much closer together.  adams stood apart, and i have no issue drafting a guy at 6 who you think will be a star.  the jets need studs.

[Rangers9]

With all of these picks it almost makes sense to take one of these Qbs. We need a 4th Qb in camp anyways and it's worth it to take one.

Jets draft philosophy is "First Draft Studs, then load up on Duds"

[Dinamite]

Watch the Patriots select Jake Butt.  I really want the jets to get him!

[Powpow]

No no no no no nono Nono 

in response to God rafting a QB in this draft.

[RESNewYork]

Looks like we are drafting our udfa instead of convincing them to sign
