JOJOTOWNSELL Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just heard this hypothetical question on joe and evan assuming the jets wound up with the number 1 overall pick would you be trade it for Andrew Luck? Why or why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sourceworx Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Yes. I am not sold on the QBs being (over)hyped up for the 2018 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico002 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 No, why would the colts be willing to make the trade? That’s a huge red flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 That would be a tough decision. If he was given a clean bill of health I probably would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 No, Luck has injury concerns, and the Jets would bypass the 5 years of cheap franchise QB labor prohibiting them to surround Luck with a great team like they can for Darnold.

JustInFudge Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 That's a tough one. Luck is head and shoulders better than anyone coming out of this insanely overhyped draft. However, he's going to be expensive. Whereas, if you believe Rosen or any other QB could be 90% of Luck...well, that might enough to be great in the league and at that cost in comparison is obviously more more appealing. Tough call. I think it would be depend on Luck's health, what you have in cap space and how you truly feel about the QB prospects. Gun to head, I'd do it because the bust probability on all these QB's is extremely high IMO and Luck is the real deal who has literally carried a terrible team to 11 wins, twice and an AFC Champ game.

Jetster Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Of course if he was healthy. I like Cousins & think he's ascending and getting better. I want a confident QB & Cousins believes in himself. Skins would be crazy to let him get away. YOU LIKE THAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTownsell1 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 That's a tough one. The short answer is, Yes. The long answer is, if our GM thinks that darnold or Rosen are sure fire locks to be great then No since Luck's salary cap hit will hurt our chances of surrounding our QB with sufficient talent. Look at the Ravens after they gave Flacco big money. Look at the Seahawks before and after giving Wilson a big contract. The reason the Seahawks were so dominant for a number of years was because they were getting very good QB play at a discount. Now that Wilson is making big money they can't afford an Oline. Sure they could have let some defenders go and built a better oline but then the defense would be less dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadFan Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Umm... never gonna happen. No friggin' way. But just for spitballings sake... First, it would take significantly more than the #1 overall. Second, I recall the Dolphins passing on Brees because of a shoulder injury and he signed with the Saints. That worked out great... for Nawlins'. Obviously not the same thing because they are different injuries. But if Luck checks out physically, I would give #1 overall plus 3 more firsts if that is what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His cap hit is pretty huge, but I think he is tradeable because I don't think he has a huge bonus that would accelerate. He is making Cousins money, but if you got Cousins you still have #1 overall and can pick or trade it for more. If you use the pick you have a guy locked up reasonably for 5 years. Luck is making $21-29M per, Goff $5-8M. You can get a ton of good players with the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the Jets are built now, we can actually pull it off. We can cut mo Wilk loose (saving an additionally 16 million) and just about all of our other players are young cheap. We could sign Cousins, draft Barkley/OL at the top of the ddaft and bring in a few moderately high priced FAs to fill whatever gaps we have after this season (CB and OL). I love Luck, but Cousins plus our first is probably more valuable than just Luck. And that's assuming the Colts are willing to part with Luck for JUST a first.

This is the time to do it with Cousins if at all possible, but he's playing so well its seriously a no brainer to get him signed. Skins fans will burn the place down if Cousins takes them to the playoffs & lets him walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign Cousins, I have to believe there's ZERO chance we'd draft a non-QB position with that #1 overall pick. There would be FAR more value trading it for a boatload of draft choices to a QB-needy team. Interestingly I think Buffalo has 2 #1's, 2 #2's and 2 #3's next year. But there's no way we'd trade him intra-division. Could you imagine how risky a move that would be? Hilarious to think about. In any case, I think theres' also ZERO chance we'd sign Cousins if we have a shot to pick Darnold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I still think the Jets would have to give more than the #1 for Luck but I have no way of knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
