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
