ZachEY Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 14 minutes ago, More Cowbell said: My argument is this should not be the logical pick due to the fact he has the most red flags I can think of compared to Lance, Fields, and Jones. Jones actually has the least amount but I just think he is a product of a loaded team and played with a WR that beat anyone they lined up in front of him. I just don't see how so many are saying it's Wilson because I spoke to this guy who knows what the Jets are thinking. Whether or not he's the best pick, or will be the best QB - I have no idea. But, I do know that the media and talk around "league circles" seems to be that he's the best available after Lawrence. That's my whole point - nothing to do with what's best. As for Jones, again, I kind of felt like he had the biggest red flag, which is that he's pretty physically limited, no? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if JD trades Sam, who suddenly explodes and Zach Wilson turns out to be a bum? lol - it's just nauseating at this point but they have to get people to watch so I get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Oftentimes, the QBs who get picked later in the first round end up being better QBs. Logically, it is not because they necessarily had the better skills, although the draft overweights physical talent over other factors. I think it is oftentimes because the better teams develop and support the QBs better, and the effect that the worse teams have on the QBs picked high appears to be often permanent. The QBs picked higher also do better when teams trade up to pick them-the talent on that team still helps to develop the QB, but as we saw with the Eagles, the effect of no/bad draft picks catches up to them. That T JD drafted in Phila did not help either., The Browns worked very hard to build a team around Mayfield, as did the Bills with Allen (but they had a better head start). Let's see how Burrow recovers. So, if I am JD/Saleh/LeFleur, I would keep Darnold not as a backup, but as a interim/rehabilitated starter in a good system for him. I think its best for everyone. If Wilson gets Burrowed, I think the damage could be permanent. If Darnold gets hurt, roll out Morgan. Maybe Wilson starts later. Darnold would be a tag and trade prospect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Cowbell Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 10 minutes ago, Greensleeves said: Not really. They have been accepting calls from other teams for Sam. The other teams could be offering this info. Everyone knows that they will either keep Sam or trade him and most likely draft Zach. It's not too hard to figure out and a lot of teams are interested in trading up to grab a QB. Maybe it's because I don't understand why Zach is considered the consensus #2. I'm pretty sure they will trade Sam. If they trade down it is like with Carolina, so at 8 Jones will still be available. We can probably trade down again and still get him. I don't see him going before 20 but stranger things have happened with QB's. I wouldn't be unhappy with Jones if we trade down and select him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekskill68 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 10 minutes ago, Greensleeves said: So you're saying unless he can 'win' in a trade he will bypass a QB that he most likely has rated higher than Sam? That's a pretty sketchy way to do business for the most important position on your team. 1. I think it's similar to Jamal. I think his base case is rolling with Sam unless an offer comes in higher than where he puts fair value 2. I think he has a bias for accumulating draft picks. Some people are more comfortable being buyers (Trader Mike) and some are more comfortable as sellers (JD). That's JMO 3. Again JMO, but I think the hiring of Saleh and LaFleur included a bunch of dialog about "fixing Sam" as a base case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only guy who knows if Sam will be traded is JD and possibly Salah and they're not leaking any information. If you want to make an educated guess about Sam's future figure in the fact that has not been traded by now. That's the biggest indication that he'll be the Jets QB for 2021. These talking heads and internet twits have zero real sources and are just looking for clicks and viewers during the next month. Their speculation should be focused on the trade package a team will give to move up to the #2 OA pick. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called Fant last year and has had a lot of Jets sources for years. When a guy like Pauline makes those kind of calls at the very top of the food chain about changes at the GM level it means he's not just a hack who knows a couple guys on the coaching staff or maybe has a front office relationship with an underling like Phil Savage, etc. It could mean he's plugged in a the HIGHEST levels and I'll just leave it at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Blinka Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 If JD has decided to keep Darnold and his plan is to try to get max offers for the 2nd overall pick, wouldn’t it be smart for him to let “league circles” think that he’s ready (and even planning) to use that #2 pick on Wilson? My point is that Pauline might be right about what the league thinks, AND that this is a result of JD’s plan. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Slick Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 1 hour ago, DoubleDown said: It's very likely Wilson will be the pick at #2. When you are in position to draft an elite prospect at the most important position in the sport, and the incumbent player has been a disappointment to date, then you have to pull the trigger. Joe Douglas did not draft Darnold, and it makes sense to start over at the position with a whole new coaching staff in town. The problem with that statement is there aren't any elite QB prospects in this draft with the exception of TL. All the others have a high bust probability and should go mid to low in the 1st round.

jetstream23 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 1 hour ago, Nixhead said: So why risk losing Mullens and get him signed now. The only reason they wouldn’t have him signed already is because they are considering keeping Darnold and drafting a QB early. This is a solid observation. Signing Mullens now means the Jets essentially take the idea of drafting Wilson AND keeping Darnold off the table. They wouldn't go into the season with Darnold, Wilson, Mullens, and Morgan. And, if they draft Wilson AFTER having signed Mullens then that practically locks Douglas into trading Darnold for whatever he can get. Newsflash.... Douglas doesn't trade guys for "whatever he can get." He got more for Leo Williams than some thought, he got more for Jamal Adams than almost everyone thought he would. If he drafts Wilson he will leave open the possibility of retaining Darnold if the offers aren't great. In the fourth year of a rookie contract there's no significant financial incentive to let Darnold go for a lowball offer. The Jets don't have to trade him if they take a QB at #2. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
