I would trade for Sam Darnold before drafting Mac Jones... Just my opinion..

Depends on what the Jets want for Darnold. 3rd or lower, sure sign me up, second no thanks, 1st lols. My fear with Darnold is he is broken like David Carr. Otherwise, yeah Jones v Darnold is a push and Darnold should be cheaper.

Report is that the Jets aren’t stuck on a 1st for Darnold. 
 

Trade a 2nd or 3rd for Darnold. Keep the 1st or move back and acquire picks. 
 

Stop getting hung up on the pro days. No reason to trade years worth of capital for a top 4 pick. Keep the capital. Trade for Darnold. Build the defense and the OL. Go win....that’s the formula.

I'm leaning this way. I think Darnold could be a good starter.  While I think he would be a decent QB for any team, I think his skillset would be great in this type of offense. My only question is where his confidence is at.  Is he a guy that can resurrect his career or his he in David Carr land? I'd be willing to gamble a second or third to see.

I don’t think Darnold has played well enough to think he could be your franchise QB however there are plenty of QBs who weren’t that good for their first 3-5 years and then became good QBs. Drew Brees wasn’t good his first few years. Most recently Ryan Tannehill. Alex Smith took years to develop. Hell honestly I would rather have Alex smith than Teddy.

 

so maybe Darnald can end up being a good QB with a different team. Maybe not. His YPA seems to be pretty low and that kinda bothers me though.

On Dan Patrick he just said that we are interested in Darnold. Said that it could very well be the move if we decide/can't move up in the draft. He said the Jets were looking for a second round pick but would probably settle for a third. He's been right on several things recently related to NFL QBs.

I think any move for Darnold will be made after the draft.  If we land a QB than we won't pursue Darnold.

I'm not sure about that - the Jets will surely want an instant return on him if they're trading him.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Draft day trade - we pick who we want / trade down in the first / second round and, if we don't get the QB we like, we pick up the phone to the Jets for Darnold in the third round.

I think he has potential, but he's in the last year of his rookie contract so he QUICKLY becomes very expensive. You only have a year to work out whether he's the guy or not.

If Matt Rhule thinks he is the guy.. I’m all for it ... other then that don’t waste resources on Him if he aint the guy just move on till we find him ... I agree Sam was not in a position to succeed.. I think he will be seeing shadows for awhile even if he had a good oline .. might take a year or 2 to build his confidence up .. we don’t have the time or the oline ..

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
