Jets trade up to third in NFL draft

In a lot of ways this is an advertisement for tanking and an indictment of the draft system.

Talent-wise, people expected the Jets to finish in the bottom three anyway. But instead of tanking and throwing the season, they played gutsy and finished with the sixth overall pick despite a garbage roster.

Their reward? Apparently it's giving up half of their potential young talent for the next two years just to get the same pick they would've gotten by not trying at all.

How harshly we punish bad teams that have the temerity to try winning games.

look back at what the Eagles gave up for Wentz....if Jets nail the pick it's worth it. 

Yeah, not saying I thought Wentz would pan out either, but I'm almost certain this crop of QBs will disappoint.  I think this is a much bigger gamble...  I feel like only 1 of those 3 that keep being talked about in the top 10 will even be respectable.

Seems like a fair trade for both teams. Jets are desperate for a QB. 

They recently traded Sheldon Richardson for Jermaine Kearse and Seahawks 2nd rounder. 

So essentially, Richardson and their 2 this year and next, secured them a top 3 pick to get themselves a QB and a WR in Kearse

Also, Look at Cleveland who never seems to have a shortage of 1st and 2nd round picks. They just finished 0-16. Primarily because they don’t have a QB. I think the Jets did just fine here and apparently the Colts have confidence Luck will be back. He just won’t have Barkley to help him now

      Garrett Wilson is doubtful

      Technically speaking, Fields has been a better QB than Bryce Young in the NFL.  I mean it’s bottom rung comparing by BY isn’t better.  Thats what I don’t get about the talk this week.  We don’t have a QB edge

      Might be different against a team with no legitimate pass catching options outside of their rookie TE though.  Their #1 WR tomorrow has 8 catches this season, next best WR receptions number this year is 4. If we can't defend that while Horn travels with their TE, then we have some serious problems.   Maybe we don't end up doing that in the end, but it's probably how I'd be scheming up the defense tomorrow when they have only 1 non RB pass catching option.

      I fought sleep to stay awake just to watch that fumble on the goal line as we were going in for the go ahead score and said fug it, I'm going to bed. I've seen this movie before. I know how this ends. This bullshit of having California teams in conference with east coast teams is trash. That game probably didn't end until 2:30AM. Hell, it was 2AM at the time of the fumble and there was still 3+ minutes to play. In conference games being played into the 2AM hour for local audiences is terrible for the game. And the worst rule in football really does need fixed. Fumbling through the endzone or a fumble recovers by the D in the end zone should not result in a touch back and the ball on the 20. Fumbling through the endzone should not be a turnover. Fumbling out of bounds isn't a turnover anywhere else on the field. That should be the offense's ball on the one yard line. If the D recovers it in the endzone it should be the D's ball on the one yard line. Everyone knows this and everyone talks about it so just fix it already. If Cal was getting the ball at the goal line instead of out to the 20 I would've kept watching. That's a completely different scenario than the ball at the 20.
