Just to be clear - we gave up 2 2nd rounders

I feel we got a steal of a deal. Don’t forget, the extra second rounder this year that will get us our franchise quarterback and preserve our first rounder next year was the Sheldon Richardson trade. 

It was basically impossible to trade Richardson who is one suspension away from being out for an entire year and was on the last year of his contract.

Mac took the impossible, got us in position for our franchise quarterback, without giving up a first. How can anyone complain?

who cares. Make a list of our second round picks the last 10 years. The less often we select in the 2nd, the better

Faulty logic. Just because the Jets have been bad at drafting in the second round, doesn’t make those picks less valuable. Especially for a team in the bottom tier in talent.

The 3 #2 picks are apparently the price for McCown "developing" Robbie Anderson and the rest of the Jets offense. :cool:

Not trying to pee in anyone's cornflakes as I'm extremely happy Mac had the stones to make this trade, I'm just pointing out what those meaningless wins cost the team in terms of draft capital.

CBS is calling it an a overpay, but it had to happen... We need a QB. 

Media morons. If the Colts had waited until draft day to make this trade they could have gotten considerably more IMO.

past isn't a predictor of the future. Yes... you know what theme i was driving for. We haven't handle our draft currency with much prudence. There is no argument in the universe that says "Jets shouldn't have pulled the trigger on that trade"

People will anyways moan and complain. He didn't give up any due 1st rounders and the chance to draft a franchise QB is worth the 2nd round picks every day of the week.

Time will tell. I think we’ve got the wrong guy choosing the QB, the wrong guy coaching the QB, and not a whole lot around the QB to make him successful.

well thats a separate situation, that wasn't going to change in the next 9 months. Probably 2 years now. 

Gotta be happy about the Rosen One tho.

Get the QB and nobody will ever remember what we gave up. To me this was a no brainer and about friggin time we showed some balls and not act scared.

Yup. I'm frankly amazed that there are posters here that are quibbling about giving up next year's second in this deal. The Jets had to offer enough to avoid any bidding war with Buffalo, or for that matter Denver. This is our chance to field a potential franchise QB within the next season. If that doesn't excite you as a Jets fan, nothing will.

A second round pick for each extra win last year, nice

had to be done - time to go all in and I approve unless they take Allen

that's how I see it.  We lose a 2nd round pick for each superfluous 2017 win because Bowles insisted on starting McCown until his injury.  Had he started Petty and Hack for most of the season, we'd have those picks now.  Thanks Bowles... you f--king moron!
