Was wondering.  Surprised he’s made it this far.  Still don’t see him going undrafted

I don’t understand how he’s still out there. Take him and let him and Travis battle it out for QB3 or PS.

Then have both as QB2 / QB3 in the future.

If Pratt makes it to Mr. Irrelevant are we taking him?

Why?

There’s only so many reps for these guys in practice.

Just take a raw, freak athlete with high upside like they did last year with Kuntz.

I can’t understand why so many here are complaining about day 3.  The rbs behind breece have been terrible, and they took 2 big guys who are going to grind for yards and not dance like izzy and carter did.  It’s not as if we didn’t take a wr on day 2.  And they’re going to sign FAs who inevitably flash and compete for roster spots or PS spots

So are people who claim late rounders woulda, coulda, shoulda been 1st rounders.

Everybody can be tiresome, in their own ways.

If only there was some context to this argument....

I think he has potential and between Pratt and Travis one could be QB3 and other PS for this year and then we have 2 young QBs on the roster moving forward.

Keep throwing darts at the most important position in all sports.

That’s for sure valid in terms of finding the players but would you be comfortable with a 5th round rookie at IOL4 regardless of RAS score? 

Yes? The team goes to camp with 12-14 linemen and winnow that down to 8-10. You’d draft a fifth round guard to beat out unplayable dudes like Max Mitchell and/or make in unnecessary to sign vets that suck like Connor McGovern., etc. The bar is low, and the potential ROI is huge. Contrast that with the Travis pick, where you’re getting absolutely nothing in the short term and *likely* nothing long term. The OL has to be one of eight to be a good draft pick. Travis probably starts the season on the practice squad. Run the exercise again with at least one of the two backs. What is Douglas doing here? Maybe it’s not an OL. They need another DL to replace JFM. Receiver? The Dolphins drafted Malik Washington who probably starts in the slot for them right away. Is that not a better investment?

So the chief complaint is that they should have taken a mediocre guard or another slot wr instead of a mediocre rb?

24 isn’t bad for a qb b/c they can play longer than other positions.  Again, if the guy is a decent backup qb that’s better use than taking a marginal wr who will struggle to beat out the priority FAs they sign

24 matters because it implies the dude was in college forever and are as good as they’re gonna get because they took a million snaps between games and practice.

Covid years changed that b/c lots of guys stayed in school when games were cancelled.

Your argument is that they took a dart throw on Travis in the .000000045% chance he’s Brock Purdy. My chief complaint is that they don’t have the time nor resources to **** around like that. Douglas already used his yolo QB shot on James Morgan.

FSU played nine games during the COVID year. Jordan Travis has been in college for six seasons.

My argument is that the jets have failed to not only hit on the qbs they’ve drafted early in the draft, but on developing reliable backups in the later rounds.  They keep importing qbs here b/c they can’t draft them.  Mccown, fitz, rodgers, taylor, they have to keep importing them.  Look at cincy - when burrow went down they had a guy they had drafted who came in and gave them legit qb play.  The jets had a flash of that with white but of course they didn’t keep him b/c anyone was better than wilson.

We all sit around here wasting our lives on this board complaining the jets can’t draft qbs, and don’t take enough shots to develop them.  Who is to say that injuries will not occur this year that allows travis to play meaningful snaps?

yes, becasue this is a DEEP draft for WR and Guards ans RBs are a dime a dozen, we could get an udfa rb who will be decent.

Many really good prospect Guards and WRs have floated off the board while douglas was playing madden.

Smart teams draft to the strength of a draft, dumb teams do not and Douglas keeps making the same mistakes.

Mims is awesome no need for another WR!  oh wait he isn;t

Elijah moore had just as much excitement behind him as corley this draft and he promptly does not draft another wr

Teams find guys like amon ra st brown, diggs and puka nakua as not only good players but stars becasue they actually draft them.

Douglas drafts one guy and says 'were good!' when the rest of the draft is loaded with high potential guys at wr.

Douglas's track record totally backs up his utter failure in the end part of the draft where reasl skill comes into place.

Douglas gets huge credit from people for trying to correct awful botch picks and moves he made like a year ago.

He is not a good gm.
