Plan C- Draft a QB


Bronx

Recommended Posts

If we can't get Rodgers/Carr, go to the drawing board and draft a QB with a quality vet to mold him. 

It's time to put the Zach Wilson saga to rest and move forward with another young QB.  Chiefs, Eagles, Chargers, Bengals, Ravens, Bills and many other teams have drafted and developed QBs. This organization should emulate these teams especially if plans A/B (Rodgers/Carr) are off the market.

It all depends on how FA & the Draft plays out. If we land a FA starting Qb prior to the draft then probably not. If that Qb ends up being a 1-2 yr. rental (Brissett, Minishew, Mayfield or Dalton) then I’d say yes if there is a Qb that JD & scouts like… but you can’t reach for a Qb & bypass a better talent.  Only 6 picks this year to start. 
 

If AR(draft pick), Carr(maybe draft pick), JG or Tannehill(draft pick) are signed then you roll with ZW & White (if manageable $)

I've been on this train a few days now. 

Even if we do get Rodgers, what's the plan beyond that? You have to assume he only plays 1 year, I don't want to hear any crap about how he'll play more. So after that year, best case is you're left with zach? White may be gone in FA, and even if he stays, white and zach doesn't instill confidence. 

Therefore, you need to draft someone and start developing them for next year. Hence:

I really don't think there is any way they give up entirely on Zach. Drafting a QB in the top 2 rounds likely does that. Not to mention how much are you willing to spend to move up? I think it's likely we see:

Texans - CJ Stroud

Colts - Bryce Young

Raiders - Will Levis

Panthers - Anthony Richardson

Would you actually trust the Jets to draft and develop a qb? Sorry, I do not.

There’s also a plan D.  Lots can happen in the span of a year and it’s not unreasonable to think Hackett can get zwilson better prepared to play at the nfl level than milfy. So while I wouldn’t want the jets to go into the season with Zach as the lone starter it does impact the level of vet they pick up and how long they think the vet will be the qb.  And I would also want them to draft a qb. Not in the high rounds but a guy who can sit a year or two.  It could even be that mfw is retained although then they’d have an awful lot of resources devoted to the qb position.

IF we take a QB day 3, I woudl be fine with that, but I really hope we come out of days 1 & 2 with OL upgrade, WR and Safety.

Agreed. Keep building upon last year’s draft class. Hoping the draft falls into our lap, with either trade back opportunities (no wasted draft capital this year) or players we targeted available when we pick. If there’s a Qb we like in round 5/6 grab him. Just make certain OC/OT, LB, S, Big WR has been addressed before pulling the trigger

If we end up with the Tannehill/Minshew/Brisset type guy, I would not be opposed to drafting another QB, as long as a guy we like is on the board when we pick.  I would not wnt to go into the draft with the mindset of we have to pick a QB.  At tht point, we may as well look to re-sign White as a back up.  Zach is 3rd string and we head into the draft without the need to reach for a QB.  IF we take a QB day 3, I woudl be fine with that, but I really hope we come out of days 1 & 2 with OL upgrade, WR and Safety.

Not for nothing but Zach was doing okay in the first half of the season with a fairly intact oline and breece hall.  Maybe he wasn’t lighting it up ( some people think a qb needs to throw for 300ypg) but he was getting the job done and, more importantly, getting wins.  Of course you can say the same of mfw and even Flacco but at some point there can be only one qb.

and I do want them to draft a qb. Not in the higher rounds but one who can sit a season or two. Find a guy who played and started all 4 seasons in a decent program.

If they do that then they should use a blindfold and do it “ pin the tail in the donkey” style. No way it can be any worse than how they have been doing it and a broken clock is right twice a day.

History says so; but if this team wants to break this agony, they need to change this pathetic pattern. 

I think that’s right. Unfortunately the rest of the team can’t wait until the qb gets developed. But that just means finding a qb on a short horizon in the hope that the drafted guy develops (could even be Zach at this point).  What wouldn’t do is think the vet qb has to mentor the young guys.  That’s just silly. A vet starter wants to keep his job not hand it off.  I remember when some reporter asked Richard Todd what he was learning from joe willie.  He said he learned the best bars to go to in the city.

Draft Tanner McKee in the third if he gets there.

I would endorse this move. I think once the combine comes around he's going to move up draft boards into the early to mid 2nd. He's the type of prospect you roll the dice on IMO perfect size, mobile, underperformed at Stanford after being the top recruit coming out of HS.

I'd be surprised if we did it though.

Fairly confident that, at least in the context of traits teams are looking for in quarterbacks these days, McKee is not considered mobile.

They do need to keep taking shots, even outside the first. Every once in awhile there’s a Carr, Dalton, Cousins, Prescott, Wilson drafted outside the first who has sustained success.

We absolutely should draft a QB.  Almost every year. Until we find one.

HOWEVER....We must sign a real vet who can go out and win at least a half a dozen games every year, or get us into the playoffs.  This team has to start winning.  Winning games breeds winning.

He’s not very mobile, he’s a pure pocket passer who needs to be protected.

Yea certainly closer to that than a runner, I've always sort of looked at it like:

Statue - their mobility is a liability

Mobile - can escape the pocket to extend play

Runner - legs are a weapon

Zero chance this staff / organization will draft a qb early in this draft. Jobs are on the line, it would be career suicide to spend a top draft pick on developmental qb that they won’t be around to see pan out. Later pick sure, it makes sense, but we won’t see a high pick used on a QB. Coaching staffs with job security can make that high pick on a qb, coaches on the hot seat are more focused on the now. A vet is coming and it’s up to the staff / front office to bag the right guy. If they can’t do it, they’ve failed to do their jobs.

Maybe mid rd., wouldn’t be crazy. Would be interested to hear from guys like DJ how Zach would rate bs this class. Is this class considered good?

There are a couple guys slotted to go near the end of round two early third round I would love to take.

Tanner McKey (3rd)

Tyson Bagent (6th)

Agreed. Honestly the correct move would be to go oline round 1 & 2. But they need to operate as if Rodgers, even if they get him, plays only 1 year. Going into 2024 with zero answers at qb is also not acceptable.
