If we don't draft QB in round 1, who is your guy?

Let's say we bring in Bridgewater or Cousins in FA. QB no longer is the top priority. Who are you drafting at #6? 

Would you grab Mcglinchey at OT? Chubb as an edge rusher? Saquon Barkley as our franchise back for the next 10 yrs? Maybe Darwin James to fortify our safety position?

Or would you trade back to a QB desperate team like Buffalo, Jacksonville, etc?

If we address QB in FA (not my preference), we're probably not drafting qb at #6. 

Honestly, if I were GM, I would bring in Bridgewater in FA and ALSO draft Mayfield at 6. But I know Macc doesn't think like I do. If he did we would be going into year 2 of the Deshaun Watson era.

Macc wont use that ammo to trade up.  I don't think he believes in it.  He'll draft another sh*tty 2 round project under the auspices he's building the team up.  Then hell blow all the money he saved on veteran free agents.  Our two weaknesses will be OL and QB again and we will suck next year.  Sound familiar?

The Jets can f*** off if the first round pick is anything other than QB.  

Even if we spend 25+ mill/yr on Cousins?? At that point I'm not sure drafting franchise QB makes sense. Probably better in that scenario to surround your investment with assets vs drafting someone to compete with it.

Hopefully he’s thinking Cousins and Mayfield instead if wasting time and money on Bridgewater.

Take that stress out and think of it at as BPA in a crappy draft up top. That’s exactly the purpose of signing any FA QB anyway, particularly the one good one in Cousins.

I am not stupid enough to want to spend 25 million on Cousins. Its about time this team spent a first round pick on a QB. If we don't end up with Darnold, Rosen, or Mayfield this team can f*** off.

We have drafted a QB in the first round 4 times in the last 50 years. The most important position in the sport and this organization has that rarely thought it a good idea to invest a first round pick at the position. Sorry but the only acceptable answer is drafting our guy in this next draft.

I like Bridgewater but probably not the right guy for cold weather and windy. Plus his slight build and injury with this OL. 

Yeah I woulda coulda shoulda been a huge Bridgewater fan, couldn’t have less interest in FA except as the third QB. He is a guy who probably came out of school too early.

Again, if you pay the enormous price tag for Cousins and convince him to commit to your franchise, there's no way you're drafting QB in rd 1. It's not smart with the money you're investing. You're all in on the Cousins train at that point and you spend the rest of your assets supporting that investment.

Also, Cousins is not accepting a FA contract to a team who's making him compete with a lottery pick talent. He and his agent will want to see how the team supports him to be successful, not how he's going to have to compete for a job.

Agree 100%. I want one of the above rookie QBs you mentioned. But I double down on a high upside FA like Bridgewater. I give him a short term contract similar to what Glennon got in Chicago last yr. If he comes back healthy and lives up to potential then you can extend him. 

In this scenario you give yourself a great shot at that elusive franchise QB without breaking the bank like it would cost for Cousins.

There’s another $70 million to spend and at least 6 more draft picks. 

Who said anything about making him compete with some draftee? Cousins is way better than any of these 22 year olds, they’re not beating him for any starting job in 2018. Hell, most of these draft pick QBs probably couldn’t beat out McCown right out of TC for the 2018 job in a fair competiton. That isn’t the point of drafting a QB in 2018.

Good QBs are generally not attainable, so who really cares? We are playing out a few more years of ineptitude before our owners get slapped in the face with reality and move on, and hopefully bring in a better regime next time around in 3 years.

Can you not see the massive, massive flaws in this line of thinking?

Nope, Cousins and a first round draft pick is an unrealistic scenario for a number of seasons. Would never happen, as in 0% chance. 

Alex Smith/Foles/Bridgewater + a 1st round QB, on the other hand, is a realistic scenario.

What is the difference here? All of these guys are getting 8 figure salaries, Cousins happens to be a couple million higher because he is better.

And we would still have 5 wins...

I like Barkley the RB from Penn State.

Tony Romo yesterday gave pretty good reasons why the Jets D needs a good edge rusher. But they aren't that easy to find. Plus we always use our no. 1 pick for defense. He also said the obvious: we need a Qb. To me there is not one great player worthy of us trading up for. If Darnold is still around at 4 or 5, I might consider it.  Rosen I wouldn't trade up for esp with his concussion history.

imo, with the 6th pick they should be able to get an impact player right from the start.  i think i'd go fo the edge rusher or lt and stay away from the rb.  and i would further consider trading down for a 1 and a 3 or so.  i'd still draft a qb to replace petty.

...with a future superstar franchise QB. Does that obvious fact escape you?

Stop with the future superstar bunk. We have no idea if he is another flash in the pan after 5 whole games. Everyone though Kap and RG3 were locks to be superstars after 5 games also.
