There is still no excuse for letting Trevor slip through our hands!!!

Asking a locker room and coaches to tank games and potentially ruin their future earnings is not a real thing. Of course losing and grabbing the #1 overall would have been nice, but there’s no guarantee that JD would have picked Lawrence . I mean, JD had Fields staring him in the face, yet here we are dealing with the worst QB in the league two years in a row.

You can't outright tank but you don't have to exactly foster the healthiest environment per the rules either. Jets could have easily fired Gase once they had 1 locked up because it was clear they weren't keeping him before they squeaked out 2 of 3. Then do that open tryouts thing that the Penguins did when they tanked for Lemiuex.

The bigger JETSY move was staying pat with FITZ/McCown and drafting Jamal.   

 

Mahommes was available to us…. We draft a safety.  

 

Gronk was available to help Mark, we draft a safety.  

The knock on Mahomes was that Texas Tech offensive players were always a crapshoot because of that quirky offense. You had guys like Jace Amaro who are freaks in production and athleticism but then when it's time to make the pro transition they simply can't adjust. The list of Texas Tech guys that can't cut it or don't even get drafted after killing it in college is incredibly longer than the list of guys who do. It was a crapshoot to tell if Mahomas was another Graham Harrell or something legit until workouts started. If the Jets were going to take a QB there the clear pick would have been Watson, which in hindsight is probably a good thing the Jets didn't take him.

We would’ve had to go 0-16 to get him. That was never happening. If it was 1 game then this would be more of a thing

This. It was typical bad jets luck more than anything else. 
 

you can’t expect to go 0-16. Just our luck that the year Lawrence is available, we need to legit go winless to get him

Had the Jets drafted Mahomes, under the tutelage of Todd Bowles, we would have ruined him too. 

And Josh Allen.....without question......... There have been many, but the only guy that could have overcome us drafting him was Marino in my opinion.....especially with Toon and Walker... Favre, Mahomes....even Peyton would have not been the qb we know if drafted by us.....we truly ruin lives
