We don't even know if he's the next best available at his own position.......he's an unknown and as such you don't treat the pick with that little of respect. You have to nail it - not roll the dice and have no clue of the outcome. Nobody is calling him a franchise QB, so why would you invest like he was? Makes no sense to me.
Our new GM is a analytics guy and uses his formulas and draft grade process to select players. I think we trade back and go quantity over quality this year.
55, If our new GM is an actuarial numbers stats guy, would'nt that lead him directly @ Mariota QB. Mariota has some of the best stats @ QB I've ever seen. What if he hates Geno like you do ? Personally, I'm torn on Geno ? Geno is like golf, you play and suck for 15 rounds, and just as you're ready to quit, you shoot the best round of golf in your life with the 16th round.
Geno in the 16th game against the Flippers was incredible. He had a perfect QB rating. Not sure if it was because his whole family was there because he was raised there, or if he was playing his heart out for Rex or what. But I saw talent with a strong arm, quick feet, and he was reading the whole field instead of locking in on a WR.
I would almost agree with 55, in that Mariota is sitting there @ 6, I think some team (Eagles, Rams, Browns, Cowboys), would give up a ton to get him. Not RG3 amount for a 6th, but maybe a teams #1 this and next year and their #3 this year & next. I'd ask for 2 #one's & 2 # threes for Mariota. If we got those picks and kill the draft & free agency, the Jets will be ready for the future.
Go Jets...Cyborg
