If the regular season ended today, the NY Jets would have the 9th overall draft pick (according to ESPN.com). Who will they pick? Plenty of time for that. For now let’s take a look at where the Jets might end up, chances are they will be sliding down even further.

The Jets are 5 and 9 and they have the Chargers and Patriots remaining. They could theoretically slide all the way up to # 4 since the 49ers are on a three-game winning streak, but that is unlikely. The Bears play the Browns, so it looks likely they will win at least one of their remaining two games. Remember, head to head isn’t the tie breaker. It is based on strength of schedule.

Here are the teams ahead of and right behind the Jets in draft order. The chart below also contains the remaining opponents for each team and the combined record of those remaining opponents.

Draft # Team Record Opponents Combined Record
10 Broncos 5 – 9 Redskins \ Chiefs 14 – 14
9 Jets 5 – 9 Chargers \ Patriots 18 – 10
8 Bengals 5 – 9 Lions \ Ravens 16 – 12
7 Bucs 4 – 10 Panthers \ Saints 20 – 8
6 Bears 4 – 10 Browns \ Vikings 11 – 17
5 Browns (via Texans) 4 – 10 Steelers \ Colts 14 – 14
4 49ers 4 – 10 Jaguars \ Rams 20 – 8

i can't see them moving from this spot by season's end.  about the only good thing is that only a few of the teams ahead need a qb.  but if they have one guy targeted they had better be ready to deal.  what i don't want them to do is think they can find a qb in the second round or later and having to rely on another retread to start the season.  if mccown does come back, he needs to be planted to the bench.

If we do pick 9 the top 4 rated qbs will all be gone by then.

Jets lose out.

Denver beat Redskins (6th win).

Bears beat Browns (5th win).

Texans beat Colts (5th win).

49ers steal one from Jags or Rams (5th win)

All very reasonable outcomes.

Jets would then be in the running (without trading three #1 picks to do it) for the #5 pick. 

More than high enough to draft a QB in this class, if Macc wants one (the big question!).

Never happen. Last 5-6 years usually  only top 2 off board by 9th  pick. Couple times 1 and once none before 9th pick. We will have a shot at a top 3 QB at 9. We won’t pick him but we will have a shot.

I want Mayfield, but feel like Mac is more of an Allen guy

As long as it’s a qb

Pretty much this. Then you just cross your fingers and hope the sun finally shines on the dogs ass for once. 

We trust MACC to pick a QB who can throw the ball in the ocean?
