TopCop Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Right now that's a tough call as I see it. If the Jets are locked in on a particular QB, then I say try and trade up now with the Colts. Problem with waiting until the draft is, it will probably cost more picks as you will bidding against other teams. Then there's the other side of it, if you wait to see how the draft unfolds, the QB you want may slide to you at 6, but is that a risk the Jets should take especially with all the teams looking to move up for a QB. My take is go all in now and move up to at least 3 and take one of Rosen or Mayfield. Thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 They need to trade up. The top 4 qbs will be gone by 6. They will call the Browns. Giants and Colts and see what the most reasonable deal is to move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckkieB Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I have no faith the Mac can pull off a trade up on the fly during the draft so I would rather he make a move now, even if it's more of a gamble before players are off the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 There is no chance this happens before draft day. Teams at the top want to maximize value and teams looking to move up want to see what's available before pulling the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greensleeves Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Totally agree - must trade up now. Buffalo will try and get in front of us and there may only be 1 trade partner. I’m wondering if the Bridgewater signing means they like Josh Allen the most since he may need more development time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'd say teams would want more to trade down in advance - no way of telling who'll be on the board, what interest might come up nearer the time as free agency settles.And no team will take the first offer that comes along, you'll always be bidding against other teams. Moving up also sets the scene for what others need to do to get ahead of you if needed, you don't want to play your hand too soon.What is important is to keep the dialog open with teams like Indy, that way you'll get wind of what other offers they're getting so you can prepare accordingly.Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 There is no starting QB in Buffalo so unless they sign AJ - we should expect them to move up and there will be a run on QB's If the Jets can make a good deal with the Colts then make it now Question is how do they value Jackson since he opens up other options if the draft falls to the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 You make the calls to start laying groundwork, and promise to "keep in touch", but you DO NOT make a deal NOW. That would be stupid. If you have laid groundwork on a deal, and someone looks to jump you o that deal, the other team will let you know they have a better offer. It si then up to you whether you trump that offer or move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointdexter Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm in minority but against trading up. Any package to do so will cost next yrs #1 and that is going to be a premium and extremely valuable resource. We must hold onto that at all costs. Also, I think standing pat and waiting at #6 is a great strategy. I predict some combo of Mayfield, Allen, and Barkley will be sitting there. Either of those 3 would be considered a great get.

If they like 3 of 4 guys then they should try to trade up now and not worry about who wants to jump them for what player but I could see the first three picks this year being qb.Sent from my [device_name] using http://JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sec101row23 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 You only trade up now if you can get into the top 2. Otherwise you spend your draft capital and still can get leap-frogged on draft day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think the Colts are the only team willing to trade out. The Browns are taking Darnold and anybody who thinks they're going to take Barkley is nuts. The Giants have quietly butchered their already butchered offensive line. They NEED to take Nelson - nevermind how good he is. If they are stupid (they are not a good front office), they will take Barkley. The Colts will be where the fun starts and probably where the Bills outbid us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Don’t do it at all it’s ******* stupid. Look at past drafts never in the history of the draft have 4 (5 if you count Allen) QBs been taken back to back. It doesn’t ******* happen. Unless the Jets are dead set on only one of the 5 QBs being any good it’s dumb as **** to trade up. Giving away a bunch of picks is retarded. The fans desperation to get a QB doesn’t matter to GMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIth all the trade ups possible I think its very likely Nelson will be there @ 6 for the VaGiants, making us a perfect trade up partner if that is their target.

Lower picks are involved moving from 12 to 21 is way cheaper than 3 to 6 for instance. But The more important thing as well is the amount of competition for the top picks, the fact that a good qb is such a scarce resource, and the fact that there is a big dropoff between the top 3 or 4 qbs and the guys below is what makes the demand for them quite higher.

I feel that never happens and will never happen Agreed, the mets and the Yankees barely trade. If they do it is for low key stuff. The giants if they trade would be potentially giving the jets a franchise qb, one that they could have had. I would think a jets deal would need to be an over pay. And that is still doubtful. I don't remember who said it here, but I like the idea of taking on a bad contract or 2 from the giants as well as sending picks to sweeten the pot.

shawn306 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 a deal won't go down until the last minute. Teams like the Colts are going to hold onto the pick until they get the best possible offer.

I feel that never happens and will never happen I agree historically. But if the Giants are truly trying to make a run here with the last 2-3 years of Eli’s career, while we rebuild, I don’t think a team turns down a great deal simply because of the “rivalry.” I agree in the past it seemed hopeless. But this would benefit both teams (Nelson should be there at 6) and the Giants need oline help and high picks to off set the free agency whiffs and $ constraints they have. But maybe the Jets only need to trade up to 3 to get their guy anyway. We’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Before Hyde signing with CLE, we might have had a shot at #2... but with NYG being the suitors for Barkley now, IND's as high as we'll get. And we should get there as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you love seeing that QB on the back pages winning Super Bowls/MVPs? Giants fans feel the same way which is why neither Front Office would take that chance. Our best option is trading into the 3/4 slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
