They have cap issues

If Fitzpatrick is your QB, then you need a QB. Not sure if this impacts their draft strategy much if at all.

Worked out Watson, Wednesday.  

@Snake told you Fitz wasn't coming back for them.

Seems like a significant move for us. The more QBs that go before 8, the better.

Their GM is a best available type guy. Keep in mind, he drafted DT Leonard Williams even though he already had Wilkerson and Richardson on the roster.  

I highly doubt they reach for another QB (Hackenberg '16) again this year. Jets will sign a QB in free agency and will not have an immediate need at QB when they pick in the 1st.

How are they going to sign a FA QB? They're cap strapped as all hell.

True, but he also knows that his honeymoon is almost over and if he doesn't start winning soon (patience in NY is not a common trait), he'll be drafting the best player for someone else.  And it's clear to the world that he desperately needs a QB.  But even if he doesn't see any QB available as good enough to be an immediate impact, I could see him going CB to try to win with defense (after all, that is his specialty and foundation).  CB is a huge need for them, and there are some top shelf CB's in this draft.    

That's not to say they won't go with Fournette, but I think it's just as, if not more, likely they go cornerback (or possibly QB).  Bowles needs to win, not just collect a bunch of good players that can put up stats.  They don't have the luxury of looking to put pieces together without showing significant improvement in wins.  And most teams usually start with one side of the ball to build as a strength.  But we'll see.

This was an easy call... sad part is, new England will probably get a kings ransom for Jimmy now... Chicago, San Francisco, Cleveland and the Jets are all in heavy need.

Bowles was also a DB and DB coach his entire life before being a head coach.

Ironically their board mentioned us this week-Clausen in the 2010 2nd didn't stop us from taking Cam, it was said.  A retread in my opinion would seem as stale and spinning wheels useless as anything could possibly be if I were a Jet fan.  Taking another on day 2 may result in anarchy.  Reaching for a QB at 6 may face longer odds, but would at least provide fresh hope and something to cheer for.
