k-met57 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 granted that was a 2 QB draft at the top, but i think this is the closest comp. we def paid the price...but far from overpay. Redskins trade up for RGIII Redskins receive: 2012 first-rounder (No. 2: QB Robert Griffin III) Rams receive: 2012 first-rounder (No. 6: Traded to Cowboys), 2012 second-round selection (No. 39: CB Janoris Jenkins), 2013 first-rounder (No. 22: Traded to Falcons), 2014 first-rounder (No. 2: OT Greg Robinson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I think it was an expensive trade up but far from prohibitively so and making the deal now probably made it cheaper than it would have been on draft day. I support the trade up at some point you have to have balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It’s sour grapes because it was the Jets. If the Bills traded both their firsts and a 2019 two, they’d be throwing a parade for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I don't think we overpaid. Had Buffalo traded up to #3, we would've been in a far worse spot in terms of having to overpay to get in the top 4 picks. Now Buffalo is facing that scenario. They do have plenty of ammunition to get to either #1,2,4 but it's going to cost them a ton of picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrien2Toon Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Absolutely didn’t give up too much not giving up any future first rounders is a home run just sucks we were in a position that we had to give up any picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave the Colts 2960 your scenario gives the Colts only 2500. Probably would have cost them a #1 in 2019 instead of the #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that way the package is somewhat similar. Except it is for #2 pick and the jets save the number 1s which is key for future. None of it matters if we draft the right QB.

There is no TomPac and you take that back right now, sir. I tried to extend an olive branch to that slimy chimp and he immediately betrayed my good faith. I wasnt comparing it to the Redskins deal, or any deal for that matter. I just don’t see it as an overpay because we’re now guaranteed to be in position for a QB whereas two days ago we were likely to get shut out, which would have been gross. Today, it occurs to me that the Jets could very well have traded up for Saquon Barkley, so now I’m back to being morose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I'd've preferred to hold onto Seattle's second rounder and given them the Jets' third, but that's nit-picking. It's expensive to trade up when QBs are involved. Jets are in position to get -at a minimum- one of their top three QB prospects, and they must have them pretty tightly rated to be happy here. Who knows? Mac could have Mayfield or Allen as his #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We overpaid based on the chart, I agree the chart gets thrown out the window when a true FQB option is available (like RGIII), but it appears there are 2 of them this draft so picking 3 seems to leave us on the outside looking in. Giving up 3 2's for Allen, Mayfield or Barkley for that matter is not the same as doing so for RGIII. Lets hope the Bills jump to 2 and grab Allen.

Far be it from me to tamp down Jets skepticism, and I agree with both of you on these similar points, but the Jets are moribund, Maccagnan is never going to build the team in any sort of coherent way, and if they stayed at 6 they were going to draft a sixth safety. Did they get porked on compensation? Somewhat Is there still a greater than 60% chance they draft the wrong player at 3? God yes. Does it matter if you take away a few second round picks from Mike Maccagnan? Hell no. Is there a chance that old-school Dave Gettleman comes to hate millennial archetype Josh Rosen and passes on him for a RB? Yes Does drafting Mayfield give them a puncher’s chance of stumbling onto a transformational player? I think so. So, that’s where I am. If, in a few weeks, we’re sitting here and the Jets drafted Saquon or Josh Allen, I will join you guys at the pitchfork party. For now, I’m just gonna revel in a couple of weeks of the Jets not being entirely hopeless. These times are exceedingly rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we draft Allen, I’ll hate it too. 2. The reason I’m even vaguely interested in Baker Mayfield is precisely because I (and many others) were so very wrong about Watson’s chances. Maybe the future of quarterbacking is here now and a creative coach can replicate the spread in a way that makes guys like Watson and Mayfield viable stars. 3. The third pick gives you as much of a chance at drafting Rosen as it does Mayfield or Allen. The two teams in front of us are run by cavemen who may or may not get up in their feelings over any of the top quarterbacks. If I’m betting the mortgage, I think reason prevails and the Giants take Rosen after Shurmur and Mike Shula threaten to burn the place down if they pass. 4.At six, we had no chance at Mayfield, or Rosen, or Darnold. The Jets just bought themselves a chance. I don’t see why this is a bad thing. Because it deprives Maccagnan of a few second rounders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elway is supposed to be in love with him, and they sent the full contingent to the OU Pro Day. As for the cost, it’s this: The chance of Rosen dropping OR Baker Mayfield being good vs the chance that Mike Maccagnan turns any of three second round picks into a player more valuable than Mayfield or Rosen.

Secondly, makes no difference that the trade didnt work out, doesnt change what ther cost is to move up and throws out the idea that the situations arent comparable because there were two top QBs, turns out there was only one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
