The team has holes, but I disagree that it has too many holes to reach for a QB. It honestly needs to draft as many QBs as it can.LIJETFAN wrote:This team has too many holes to reach for a QB. Winston has bust written all over him because of his off the field behavior. I think he has talent, but he is a huge risk. If he is there when the Jets are on the clock, they should pass on him. Mariota has a lot physical ability and is a high character guy with intelligence. We just have no shot at him. Of the next tier of QBs, other than Cook, I don't really see anybody worth a pick in the first two rounds.
If Idzik is making the pick, God help us, no matter who it is. Hopefully that's not an issue.
In terms of draft strategy, the Jets need to find players on offense. Frankly, I could care less what position it is. They could take a RB there if one is rated that highly, or a lineman. If Cooper is there and there are no receivers rated higher, then they should take him. They need playmakers.
We shouldn't even waste a mid or late round pick on a QB that has virtually no chance of become an NFL starter. The Tom Brady scenario is extremely rare. Same for Tony Romo. The Jets should use all of their picks to find players that can play. Not reach for players who will be back ups or 3rd stringers at best. We have enough of those guys on the roster as it is.
Winston scares me, but if he shows a great arm at the combine, it will go a long way. His interviews will also be key. That said, you can't shy away from QBs.
