So many stories during the smoke screen szn, but one that is true is the Jets front office is sticking to their guns on quarterback evaluations. Sam Darnold leads the pack only because the suspected selection for the Jaguars is Trevor Lawrence. If they believe which is the ongoing synapsis that only reason they draft Zach Wilson is to reset the quarterback money market for the team. Right now the ongoing summation is Zach Wilson is same level as Sam Darnold, the potential is unknown for Wilson but there is a notion of what Sam could become.
Lets also look at the draft and key connections that give the Jets the ultimate trading partners starting with the number 2 pick. Current defensive coordinator and his link to his former team the Atlanta Falcons whom could be inclined to draft a qb this year to sit behind Matt Ryan for a year. Still uncertain times with limited to no off season workouts, mini camps, etc. what about preseason games will there be any? So what if the Falcons want to trade up the Jets are in ripe position to get first, second and third this year with a second next as compensation.
After a trade down the Dolphins are linked to three prospects, Devonta Smith, JaMarr Chase and Penei Sewell.
Now the Philadelphia Eagles at six ties to our GM Joe Douglas himself would be able to converse with them and offer up the fourth overall. Are they sure they want to roll with Jalen Hurts or do they need something else? Another team that offers up first, second and third this year plus a second next year even if they don't draft a quarterback they might want that Jason Peters heir apparent in Penei Sewell. The notion is that the Bengals believe he will fall to them at five.
The final connection for the Jets is newly hired head coach Robert Salah and the 49ers selecting 12. Jimmy G. or reboot the the position. Trade Jimmy G. to New England but still would need to move ahead of the Panthers if they don't get Watson. Perfect match is Justin Fields but Trey Lance could flip the bill for the 9ers in this scenario. So the third team offering up first, second and fourth this year plus a first next year.
Mel Kiper latest mock is the Jets trade down to four and take tight end Kyle Pitts out of Florida. By his mock it would still be able to take Pitts at twelve with the picks throughout the first eleven selections. For a team that has many holes, trading down three times stockpiling much needed picks allows them to make a number of strategic selections and rounds two and three.
12, 23, 34, 35, 37, 43, 66, 68, 70, 86, 102, 107, 149, 155, 188, 249
this would be the group of picks if the Jets exercise their connections to former teams to manipulate the draft.
@12 TE Kyle Pitts from Florida is a good selection with a possible prospect OT/OG/OC Rashawn Slater on the board.
three teams have two second round picks that might want to move back up to the backend of the first round. there are prospects that might entice the Jets but taking away that fifth year team option to secure team friendly deals should be considered. Currently have four second rounds in this mock. what if newly hired Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer wants to make a splash. The Jaguars have pick 33 & 45 would be more enough to offer for the 23rd pick even though they have the 25 pick as well. Lets say they offer that trade to the Jets would be foolish to reject it.
33, 34, 35, 37, 43, 45, 66, 68, 70, 86, 102, 107, 147, 155, 188, 249
Time not only to reset the roster but to give the team it's best chance of success.
Two Quarterbacks whom could be available are Mac Jones & Kyle Trask, why do I mention them because in this scenario the team needs a backup quarterback and taking one in the second round doesn't start a storyline for the media to harp on all season. Lets say Mac Jones is available.
@33 Mac Jones, QB from Alabama
@34 Wyatt Davis, OG from OSU
@35 Alex Leatherwood OT from Alabama
@37 Jay Tufele, NT from USC
@43 Patrick Jones II, DE from PSU
@45 Richie Grant, FS from UCF
@66 Chazz Surratt, LB from UNC
@68 Brevin Jordan, TE from Miami
@70 Dazz Newsome, WR from UNC
@86 Quinn Meinerz, OC from WISCONSIN - WHITEWATER
@102 Monty Rice, LB from UGA
@107 Trey Smith, OG from UT
@147 Amari Rodgers, WR from Clemson
@155 Nico Collins, WR from Michigan
@188 Jaret Patterson, RB from Buffalo
@249 Darren Hall, CB from San Diego St.
If someone asks the offensive line is rebuilt in one draft but no guarantees any of them will start this year.
LT: Becton, McDermott
LG: Lewis, Trey Smith (R)
OC: McGovern, Quinn Meinerz (R)
RG: Van Roten, Wyatt Davis (R)
RT: Fant, Alex Leatherwood (R)
depending on off season workouts and training camp this gives us stability and insurance for now and the future.
wide receiver and tight end another stability move with or without Jamison Crowder we draft two slot receivers to go along with Berrios. Drafting another big target in Nico Collins to pair with Denzel Mims is just one of the two draft moves. Drafting Kyle Pitts is a tight end that can lineup as receiver. Herndon & Pitts could take over the middle of the field. Trevon Wesco is a blocking tight end that can play fullback for the offense.
WR1 Denzel Mims, Nico Collins
WR2 FA, TE Kyle Pitts
WR3 (Crowder), Dazz Newsome, Amari Rodger, Braxton Berrios
TE Chris Herndon, Kyle Pitts, Trevon Wesco
This team has options, hope they take advantage of their ties to improve this year the overall the teams needs on offense and partial defensive upgrades.
