Not sure what GM said it but he said his golden rule was to draft a QB every year.... Of course where you draft that QB it is based on need. Do we need a high pick cause we have no one or a mid rd pick cause we want to develop one or do we take a late rd pick cause we can take on a project QB....
At this point we need to find the guy I think in a year or two Petty will be the guy... so I say we continue taking 3rd and 4th rd picks and go from there.. Unless we have a top 5 pick again and some can't miss guys is there in the next draft... Then we take that guy LOL!!
Well, I think you take a QB based in your scouting report. If you grade a guy out as a franchise QB, you go get them. If you score someone the next Matt Ryan, Phillip Rivers, or Big Ben...you go get them. Not at any cost, but as a cost the jets feel is appropriate.
It's okay to like Petty and not know what he is. That is 100% where the jets are. If you think the jets feel he is a franchise QB, I don't agree. I think they feel he has the potential to be, but have no idea if he will become one. If they were 100 sold on him, he wouldn't have been drafted where he was drafted. The kid needs to learn a ton, could take 2-3 seasons for him to develop and Mac and Bowles don't have that long to wait. Remember, he was drafted in the same area as Cousins, Hoyer, and Glennon...that's lijely the level of talent we are trying to mold...I don't think drafting a guy in that area prevent you from grabbing a QB rd 1 if a TD 1 talent gets you excited. Next year's rd 1 talent is like the year Eli, Rivers, and Big Ben came out...why would you pass on that for a guy looking at a playbook for the first time since high school? He's never even called plays before...but you pass on a pro style QB for a guy who is learning to take snaps under center? I don't think so. That's how you get a GM fired...
