At this point it's important to realize that the Jets, more than likely, will NOT get the privilege of selecting a top notch QB. The Jets have turned out to be better than most thought. I am guilty as charged of that.

Now, they can still trade up to grab their guy, but it will require packaging compensatory, regular picks, and possibly picks in future years to get into the top 3..........

OR we could stand pat and take Baker Mayfield?????

Someone will fall who inevitably will become a good - franchise QB ...for another team.

Just want to point out that Darnold has not had a particularly good season so far. Nor has Josh Allen. Of the consensus top 3 going into the year, Rosen has had the best year so far.

I've watched every game USC has played and IMO Sam to me has the goods. His stat's are not great but his offensive line is absolutely terrible in pass protection so he's under a lot of pressure. I'm looking strictly at a talent level and I really like what I see in his arm, quick release and mobility. Given the opportunity (which now looks remote) I'd take him in a heart beat.

Darnold might not even come out and based on what I have seen he could use another year in college. There is no John Elway in this draft. There is no sure thing.

I will say this, the Jets looking better than expected and winning a few games everyone thought they would lose is a good but fleeting feeling.Looking at the schedule, they might beat the Browns, Dolphins and maybe the Bills.Maybe pull off a shocker and beat another team that they should've probably lost to.They might end up with a 5-11 or 6-10 record, that is their max IMO.
Going into next years draft, i believe us as a fan base, are going to be sick when we fall out of the top of the draft and aren't in the immediate mix for a top QB.
Then , if they want to move up, the kings ransom that'll be paid will delete the much needed draft picks that could propel a young roster to continually competitiveness that would excite this fan base much more than continuing to be a 6-10, 7-9 team that is adrift in a sea of mediocrity.
Right now, the Jets would have the 9th pick if they were the worst 2-2 team in the league. Any draftniks now the point scale to move up to 3/2/1 from #9?
Yesterdays game was great,exciting.The team showed plenty of heart and are looking well coached for a change. I'll admit, i was hoping theJags just eeked out the win in O T.
I know that right now we shouldn't worry about the draft and no pick is a sure thing no matter where they are picked, but 6-10 does absolutely nothing for me with a 38 year old journey QB.
If the Jets were doing what they are doing right now with Petty or Hackenberg, then it would be a totally different story.
