kelly Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The Jets will pull off a lowly NFL first at the end of the month, assuming they draft a quarterback. According to ESPN’s Evan Kaplan, New York will become the first team in the Common Draft Era, since 1967, to draft two quarterbacks with top-three picks in a four-year span. The Jets used the third overall pick on Sam Darnold in 2018, but he was traded to the Panthers Monday after three disapointing seasons in New York. With Darnold gone, it’s all but guaranteed the Jets will use the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft on a quarterback. BYU gunslinger Zach Wilson seems like a lock for the slot, but there are other options at the position, including Ohio State’s Justin Fields. As long as the pick is a quarterback, though, the Jets won’t just have a new face of the franchise. They’ll also have a spot in the record books. > https://jetswire.usatoday.com/2021/04/06/jets-2021-nfl-draft-history-sam-darnold-trade/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The last four times the Colts picked a 1st round QB they chose: Elway George Manning Luck In that span, they have won exactly one Super Bowl. So by my math, picking a great QB hardly matters. Glad we cleared that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yeah it's hard not to be colored by the past. But this is what is right for the NYJ RIGHT NOW. we're finally getting our sh*t together to hopefully break this cycle of utter dysfunction.
