THE BARON Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 All of the Jets draft picks make good sense to me, but not the pick of QB James Morgan... The Jets need a back-up for Darnold, but from what I see, hear and think, Morgan looks like a camp arm or practice squad player... Can someone explain the rationale behind this pick ??? Other quick comments. I'm delighted that they got Mims in the spot that they did. The more I see and hear of Ashlyn David, the more I LOVE this pick, Zuniga was also somewhat of a curious pick. They need manpower for the edge, but Zuniga may be an absolute stiff. Love the punter. I'm still disappointed that they could not find a way to land Hennessey. Atlanta took him just before the Jets were on the board and I wonder if he was going to be the Jets pick ??? Anyway... Please make sense of the QB pick. I just don't get it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sarge4Tide Posted April 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 With the NFL roster size expanded to 55 this year, many teams will probably carry a 3rd QB....if you get a young QB you like and have them be your 3rd QB for a year, you now have a player who knows your system who you can control at a cheap price for the next 3 years. Of course, if they turn out to be good and help you win a game or two or if you can trade them for pick after 4 years , all the better 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSteve Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 James Morgan was mocked in many drafts to go in the 3rd round. Many thought he had potential to one day start. Even Walter Football, who is not the best source, but a big Jet hater, lauded the pick and ranked it as an A+. To me, the first three rounds are about finding starter and 2nd string material. The last rounds are for prospects that either could be good with some coaching, or has starter potential but faces either injury/character issues. Morgan fits that bill, and a position of need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuniga is FAR from a stiff. I don't know where you are getting that from. His only issue was injuries as last year he struggled with a high ankle sprain that limited his effectiveness. When fully healthy this kid is damn near unblockable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfansince7 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I felt the same way. But if you start to peel the onion and take a look at this it makes sense. Number one. All New York Jets back ups have sucked over the years. Two. Trevor Siemian look like he didn’t belong in an NFL uniform last year. Three. Teams like the giants patriots Eagles ravens have won big games and Super Bowl’s with competent back up quarterbacks. This kid had a great combine and had a third round grade.

68JET11 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Let's see, I guess the answer to why a QB in RD4 would be: We have only 1. Immediately Morgan becomes a replacement for Fales... 4 - Sam Darnold 6'3" 221 USC (QB) 5 - David Fales 6'2" 213 San Jose State (QB) XXX RE-SIGNED UFA XXX 5 - Mike White 6'5" 218 Western Kentucky (QB) (2019 Practice Squad) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamathToCaster Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 He is worth a shot based on all the extra picks we had. There is always a chance he might actually be able to be a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoni Beast Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Jets loved Morgan for months. They vetted him more than any other team. So this was definitely a spur of the moment random pick. I know nothing of this kid, but a lot of people have been rating this a high draft grade. I am all for constantly drafting/developing QB’s for trade bait or for a good backup...or even more who knows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harris Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 It was an awful pick i could write a clever well thought out defense of the pick, I understand the rationale it’s a stain on an overall very good draft.

RevisIsland610 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Really don't understand why people think this was a wasted 4th round pick. Did you guys see what the offense looked like with the scrubs we put in when Darnold went down? Are you ok with Fales as a backup? We got a backup for the most important position in all of sports. A young guy with potential and a strong arm and big body who some thought could go as high as the 3rd round. I really don't get some of you guys. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not even give him the benefit of calling him a boom or bust prospect. If he is "unblockable, it is while he is going against college players. A lot of times this past season, he wasn't even noticeable. Add in the history of injury and you have what is probably going to amount to a ghost on the roster. Pardon if you like him as a player.

HawkeyeJet Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The Jets backup QB is David Fales, who is awful. Sam has missed games in each of his first two seasons so far. You are usually not picking picking guys in the 4th Rd to be starters the following season anyway. Does a 5th string WR at the pick add more future value than a good backup QB? Maybe, but it's debatable. That would be my argument of why the pick is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untouchable Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Because the current backup Jets QB is David Fales... I’d rather take a shot on a 6’4, 230 lb athletic kid with a big arm than some gamemanager with a low ceiling like Fromm. I was a big fan of Fromm two years ago and thought that he had a legit chance to be a Top 10 pick. Since then, he’s proven to essentially be another Greg McElroy-esque, low ceiling, late round flier type of guy who is very limited physically and propped up by a great supporting cast. I think a dude like Lith, who watches more Georgia football than the rest of the board combined, would probably attest to that. At least Morgan gives the Jets a talented backup who can potentially be more useful than simply handing the ball off 35 times a game on Sunday if, god forbid, Darnold misses a few games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I don;t have a massive issue drafting a QB I am not enthralled with the player. He sounds to me like he is white who we already have and davis webb who we dumped. As for Darnolds backup. Go get a vet who can actually play if needed.
