Trade Down Scenarios

It seems that we will be trading down per Macc. Giving up on Allen for extra picks seems insane since we need an impact ER in the worst way. The potential trade partners IMO will be the Giants, Bengals, Broncos, Dolphins, Redskins,. Maybe the Bucs, Patriots (I doubt we trade down with them), Chargers, Steelers, and Lions.

If we trade down I see our Draft coming down to drafting players such as OLB Brian Burns, CB DeAndre Baker, NT DeMarcus Lawerence, C Bradbury.

Everything is speculation at this point. We have no idea what’s going to happen.

Right on. This time of year there is so much smoke and mirrors that you can't take anything you hear as fact and when it comes to these reporters predicting who the Jets will pick, unless they're BFF with Mac and are getting first hand info from him, they are guessing just like we are and I also believe some of them are deliberately trying sway things for one reason or another. Keeping everyone listening to or reading their reports is how they make their living.

Watch this video. If this happened Mac gets a lifetime contract. I don't agree with all the picks, but that many draft picks would be amazing and flip this franchise.

Oh my, I just got a woody looking at this video, LOL! That would absolutely be a Godsent if the Jets could pull off something like that. Now there are a few comments that I have:

1. Maybe it's self explanatory and that's why he did not mentioned it but the Raiders and Giants 1st rounds picks wouldn't be enough for me. They would have to give up at least two more draft picks. Even if they were 4th and 5th rounders. Now maybe he was just concentrating on the first rounders and left it at that but he gave us more the Broncos trade picks, so I wanted to comment on that.

2. The draft picks I agree with but I think we would have done better drafting the WR, N'Keal Harry somewhere in those picks. Maybe he's thinking that Harry will be gone by our second round pick but if not, then Harry would be my pick. Not saying the Georgia WR, Ridley isn't a good pick but I think Harry will be better.

3. I understand why he did not mention this because he's strictly talking about the draft but drafting this kid Burns still gives the Jets the opportunity to trade Lee. Hopefully they can get a 2nd or 3rd rounder at worst for him but that's probably wishful thinking.

Last thing is if the Jets can pull this off, that means they will be drafting 4-5 starters that are probably all blue chip players. Barring the team can stay relatively healthy, play smart and hard together, if this doesn't say playoffs this year and a very bright future to come, then I don't know what will!

I doubt that Baker makes it out of the 1st Rd. Would love for this to happen.

"IF"


Kyler Murray is NOT the No. 1 Overall Pick then there is a free for all of the trades that could happen... Bosa goes #1 and Q. Williams goes #2 then the door swings open for the Jets and all the trade possibilities could be there... Don't be surprised to hear teams that are trying to move up to 3 are not going after Murray, the real question will it be Murray or Allen...

Even if Murray goes No. 1 those teams who are in need of that Edge or D Lineman are still willing to cough up the picks whereas the Jets will have the chance to double dip to collect picks and still get some quality prospects...

We want that Franchise Blindside Tackle, we want that Franchise Edge Rusher, we need a playmaking wide receiver, we want that Franchise center...

We have plenty of needs and wants but this G.M. has shown need over want is minimal to his overall plans...

If Maccagnan shows he has cajones then he will double maybe even triple dip in trade downs and collect those picks... And don't forget he has been gifted with top tier players because other teams chose to go after need rather taking BPA... Then you get depressed when you see whom he took with all those second round selections to show his capacity to scout talent....

In those trade downs, the Jets cannot go past 13th overall but then they could be in line to acquire that Franchise LT or Edge with the 1st... Scoring an additional pick maybe 2nd round and/or 3rd round selection the Jets would be able to then get that Franchise LT with their 1st still get a premier Edge with Gregg Williams who will make him better than he was scouted to be... While still having the ability to grab that legit playmaker at wide receiver and get them Franchise center with one of the remaining 3rd rounds...

One other thing to consider is whether or not anyone calls. And if another team calls Macc, will the trade offers be good enough to pass on an elite prospect like Allen.

If we get low ball offers for the #3 pick, pass. Take the player.

That video is very much like the movie Draft Day. However, I know Mac doesn't have the capability of Kevin Costner to pull it off.

Gettin a bad feeling the Jets could over think this thing and totally fuck it up.

Shocker

Just take either Allen , Bosa or Q

I realize some fans are always prepared for the worst, but I don’t see a situation where we screw this up. The Jets are in a great position to land a franchise type player or accumulate serious draft capital.

Im not worried one bit.

I know most here want Allen as I do too. A trade down would be great depending what we get from a trade. I don't see the Giants trading down, which would negate 2 first Rd picks. A trade down with other teams would probably give us a mid 1st and 2nd Rd picks this year and 1st and 2nd Rd picks next year. The logical team to trade with will probably be Miami as they seem to be the bottom feeders in next years draft.

Phukkk draft capital and keep looking for a lesser valued blue chips.... Get JAllen and worry about getting sleepers with later picks

Here's a draft and trade down I would do in a minute even though it won't happen. https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...-kyler-murray-cardinals-nick-bosa/3416193002/

Jets trade down twice and have the 10th pick and take Dillard. They also get two second-rounders - Pick 39 and 41. My suggestion would be Baker and Jenkins.

1st round - Dillard T
2nd round Pick 39 - D Baker CB
2nd round Pick 41 - E Jenkins C

That would be three most likely starters in positions of great need. This is the only kind of trade that would sway me from staying put at 3. Go sign Ansah and we're cooking with gas.

I like both Baker and Jenkins and they would be need picks. At 10 I would look for an ER. Not to say Dillard would not be a good pick. To trade down from #3 and only get the #10 and 2 second rounders is kind of short changing us. Some think that us trading down must equal what we traded with the colts. I don't see it that way as the jets traded up before the draft. if we wait till its our pick, I can see us getting a lot more.

Another scenario to look at is teams with two 2nd Rd picks (Colts, Texans, Chiefs,) Patriots are on this list also. Trading down with the Texans for their #1, two 2nd Rd picks and maybe a 1st or 2nd next year.
