ProfileConversation
Draft Analysis
What he brings: Petty is a naturally accurate passer with very good arm strength and a clean, compact stroke. He displayed a very good command of Baylor's up-tempo spread offense, but he faces a steep learning curve as he transitions to an NFL system. He has above-average mobility in the pocket.

Height-Weight-Speed 2 Prototypical QB size with above average height and bulk. Has big hands. Straight-line speed is average.
Durability 2 In 2014, did not play Game 2 vs. Northwestern State due to back injury (suffered in season-opener vs. SMU). Back injury lingered for most of 2014 season but played through it. Started 25 of 26 games during two seasons as fulltime starter at Baylor. Missed some playing time during senior year of high school (2008) due to an undisclosed injury. Sturdy build helps ease concerns about long-term durability issues.
Intangibles 1 Respectful and humble individual. Well-respected by everyone within the athletic department. He loves football -- first in the building and last out type of work ethic. Good leadership skills and not afraid to get vocal with teammates. Strong student in classroom. Went 21-4 as a starter. Inconsistent "clutch

Quarterback Specific Traits
Mental Makeup 3 Smart and tough football player. Great competitor. Strong grasp of the Baylor's up-tempo spread offense but has a steep learning curve ahead. Check-with-me system that does not require QB to set protections or make many audibles at the line of scrimmage. Must adjust from an offense that essentially operates without a true playbook, as well as rarely huddling or working from under center. Is just now (during pre-draft training) learning simple aspects of the game, such as identifying defensive fronts. Was generally asked to work half the field at Baylor and will need time to get acclimated to pro-style reads and tighter throwing windows. On the positive side; he's a grinder and shows the ability to grasp new concepts relatively quickly. He understands the importance of ball security (finished with 6.2-to-1 TD-to-INT ratio). Makes quality decisions for the most part but will occasionally make throws he shouldn't, especially when feeling pressure. Flashes the ability to work through progressions. Also flashes the ability to hold defenders with eyes and manipulate coverage with pump fakes. Adequate internal clock but can improve his feel for situational football. Shows the toughness to sit in the pocket and stare down gun-barrel.
Accuracy 2 Naturally accurate thrower of the football. When his feet are right and when he gets good weight transfer, his accuracy is very good. He also shows a good feel for tempo on short-to-intermediate throws. And when he gets enough air under his deep ball (tends to flat-line some of his vertical shots), he flashes the ability to drop it in the bucket. However, his footwork frequently gets compromised in a system that places a great deal of emphasis on its fast tempo. Simply put, he works so hard to get the ball out quickly that his footwork gets rushed. So there are far too many throws where his feet are lagging behind, which leads to pulling the trigger without a balanced base. The good news is that his issues are easily correctable, and he's shown progress during the pre-draft process. The bad news is that it takes time to master and he's likely to be overwhelmed with the mental transition from Baylor's offense to the NFL, so the team that drafts him must be willing to patiently teach him early on.
Release/Arm Strength 2 Bit of a three-quarters release but has a very quick trigger. Clean, compact stroke so he can perform in tight spaces. Can change launch points to find throwing lanes. Average height and lower release point create concerns for tipped balls at the line of scrimmage. Arm strength is good to very good, and he's only getting a fraction of the power potential from his lower body at this point. He can really spin it on throws where all of his power is arm generated, which shouldn't be the norm but it certainly comes in handy at times.
Pocket Mobility 2 Above-average mobility. Is capable of escaping pressure and extending plays with his feet. Not a dynamic runner but has the ability to move the chains. Really like his vision and competitiveness when he takes of running.Pocket awareness is slightly above average but not great.Average-to-slightly above average pocket awareness. Will be late feeling backside pressure but overall has an adequate feel for pressure and where to slide or climb in the pocket to buy time.

He'll be an older rookie. He turns 24 this month.
Well Geno bashers, you finally got what you wanted. The Jets draft a QB that will be itching to get on the field and take the job permanently if he screws up even once, LOL! Great pick and didn't reach to get him. The regime is blowing this draft out the box. J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets
Just jizzed instantly all over myself.
long-term, he has a chance. i'm not sure he sees the field this year outside of the pre-season baring injuries to both geno and fitz
Seems that some team tried to jump the jets , knowing they were also targeting Petty. Good move on jax part to recognize they' d lose nothing in moving down one spot while gaining a 7th rounder. Good move by both jax and the jets.
I cannot even begin to say how happy I am with this pick... For those that know me from the other 2 boards we had been posting on this last year, know I have been lobbying for Bryce Petty since November. This kid has all the tools you want in a QB.. He does need to sit and learn for at least a year. He is Mariota without the speed and instinct to run. And as far as I am concerned thats good. I don't want a running QB..
We have to handle this kid right. We ruined Sanchez and Geno. We need to learn from our mistakes and have this kid sit and learn.

This is "THE GUY" fellas. Any one having doubts on if he can play in a pro style system, just watch and see what this guy's make up is all about.

This guy is the real deal. Sure he'll require some time, but it won't be too long until his play commands the respect of the locker room.
IM SOO FKN HAPPY FELLAS!!! THIS IS FRIGGIN CHRISTMAS FOR ME RIGHT NOW!!!

He will have to show a lot this season to really see the field much. If he does, he may late in the year supplant Fitz. But it seems pretty certain this regime is thinking post-Geno. Fitzpatrick is the veteran starter and mentor, and Petty is the young apprentice. Geno is a backup and space holder, in all likelihood.
John McClain tweeted this.
"Bryce Petty is going to love being mentored by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Petty completed more passes thrown at least 20 yards than any QB prospect."
Let's put that in perspective with the Jets' second-round pick, Devin Smith. The Jets just drafted a young deep threat WR and a young deep threat QB.

i'm quite pessimistic on geno, but i don't necessarily agree with you here. i think this shows it is geno's last chance. put up this year or hit the road jack. petty is a long-term project and provides great hope for the future. but i don't think a 4th round project QB signals they are done with geno.
last chance for mary jane
You have no idea... I have been calling for us to draft this kid on all the other boards we posted on this past year till we found a home here. I don't think there is anyone that has championed this kid more than me for the last 7-8 months...
I'm not gay but I want to kiss Mac right now..... This has been the best offseason in the 30+ years rooting for this team..
