Jets work out Patrick Mahomes

The Jets already have two young quarterbacks on their roster, but they may be planning to add a third in this month’s draft.

Former Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes worked out for the Jets this morning, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Mahomes has had a busy schedule this offseason. At his Pro Day on Friday, he worked out for 28 teams, showing off a strong arm with a 78-yard heave. He has also had private workouts with the Bengals, Chargers, Cardinals, Saints and Browns.

The Jets are expected to start veteran Josh McCown, at least at the beginning of the 2017 season, but they’re also developing 2016 second-round pick Christian Hackenberg and 2015 fourth-round pick Bryce Petty. Last year they kept four quarterbacks on the 53-player roster, and it’s possible they will again this year if they draft a quarterback this month.

Doing due diligence. No harm.

He's been described as a raw, Brett Favre-like gunslinger with a high ceiling. He's definitely a first year redshirt QB. Someone will take the risk and use a low first, early second on him. He's rising everywhere I'm reading.

I like Mahomes but I still think we will dangle taking a QB to get to trade down

If we trade down to the 15-25 range, we could find another trade partner to gather additional late 1st/2nd round picks. I think Mahommes goes in the 15-25 range. The Saints might be willing to move up from #32 to nab him and let him learn behind Brees for a few years. Same with the Packers if they feel Hundley isn't the guy.

Packs like Hundley, But I can see the Saints wanting to go up. As well as the Steelers with Ben talking retirement

The Saints have five picks in the first three rounds so they have the goods to get it done. Let's hope.
