If I knew we were going to take a QB and a LB/S hybrid with the first two picks, I would have preferred Lynch in RD 1 and Su'a Cravens in RD 2. IMO Hack is a much longer shot than Lynch, but at least he has size and a cannon, so there is a high ceiling and if you're going to gamble on a QB, thats the type of QB you want to gamble on. I don't love this draft, but it at least has a chance to exceed expectations.I'm not a massive fan of this draft, either, but I'm deferring to them over my assessments. If it all blows up, though, they don't get the benefit of the doubt.
well of all people don't think anyone had lee as jets first pick. Mac was a scout for years and years though so have to trust him.
wonder what Geno Smith thinks?
might feel like he just got suckered punch by this front office...
He's done.
Bring in a veteran, whether Fitz or someone else, and let Hack and Petty battle it out for successor.
This reminds me so much of the 2014 draft when we passed on Cooks, Benjamin, Matthews, etc. Instead we took Saunders and Shaq Evans and everyone on the message boards managed to talk themselves into thinking it was a stroke of genius.
Hack was a disaster at PSU, with better talent around him than people let on, certainly better than what Paxton Lynch was dealing with. Hack's ex-coach wanted nothing to do with him. Paying Osweiler means nothing in regards to drafting "your guy".
Y'all remember the lengths Chip Kelly went to last year to get Marcus Marriota??? That's what you do for a franchise guy. O'Brien could have drafted Hack in the 2nd and given nothing to a team for compensation, and he passed on him for an overachieving center.
Tells me a lot, and should to you guys as well.

Point, you're a good poster.
But I've never disagreed with you more. Lee and Hackenberg are great picks.
Bill.
Tom O'Brien was the former BC and NC State coach.
I just feel the Jets are done with Fitz situation... Its been more than 5 weeks since they had any communication... Could Hoyer be the bridge for one year for either Hack or Petty take the job?
Please don't leak the jets pick
Yes. Thank you.
