BettyBoop 2,779 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I am delighted to finally have our franchise QB on the roster and believe Darnold will become one of the elite QB in the league. But what if that trade to move up to #3 hadn't been made? The roster would be significantly different. Here's how... 2018 Draft 1st Round: Josh Allen, QB 2nd Round: Darius Leonard. OLB 2nd Round: Braden Smith, T 2019 Draft 2nd Round: Rock Ya Sin, CB Of course that makes many several assumptions that may not have actually happened, such as, the draft would have fallen the same way it actually did, Mac would have taken Leonard, Smith and Ya Sin (NOT LIKELY!), and we would have had the same record in 2018 as we did.

RedBeardedSavage 3,052 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 We’d have more depth and a better roster... but long term, we’d have an inferior quarterback. I’d rather take the hit now and have Sam for the long term than the better roster now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nico002 7,161 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Barf. Josh Allen can't sniff Darnolds jock. Had the trade not happened pre-draft and Dranold was there at #3 and we were at #6 I would have traded our 2019+2020 firsts to move up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BettyBoop 2,779 Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I should add to the what if scenario, that Mac (and Bowles) would have been canned after the 2017 season and a competent GM like Douglas was hired before the 2018 draft. Otherwise, none of it would have happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only @Warfish would be reasonably pleased with our 3 consecutive 7-9 seasons. okay and what if mac had drafted mahomes? we can all take these what if's back a ways. i think in the end the jets made out best by getting darnold although the development of the rest of the team was hampered too. as for the whole cousins versus trading for darnold, in the end it's all about what scenario is best overall. granted darnold is the better qb even at his young age but the price paid, assuming mac was competent at drafting, was pretty high and there are still quite a few holes that need some filling. and even the money wasn't such an issue because the jets had to pay for guys like bell and mosely as opposed to using much cheaper draft choices for the next few years.

Peace Frog 4,660 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Well as everyone knows, not only did we miss out on Mahomes, with those extra picks we gave up for Sam we would have drafted 4 First Team All Pros. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FidelioJet 9,199 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Darnold will be our franchise QB for 15 years. A couple of first rounders and a second rounder is not even remotely close to a better option. We could probably trade Sam tomorrow for 3 first rounders tomorrow if we wanted to.
