The Jets paid a premium for sure. That's the cost of drafting the QB of your choice. This will definitely change the Dynamics of the Browns strategy. They might be forced to draft the QB of their choice at 1, since now NYG and NYJ are both threats.

 

Draft just got way more interesting.

You're right I think. It keeps the Browns from getting cute about a QB. What the Giants will do is a mystery for me...I think Barkley if he's there.

The draft is going to be must see TV this year at least .  I usually skip most of it. 

Never skip any of it 

  Even left a wedding early to get home to watch

I have to say It but I called for a trade here this morning on a couple of threads and asap and before next week.  I couldn't believe it when I got a phone call and was told about it.   Thrilled.  Wrong team, I thought the Bills, but he did it.  Have to strike while the iron is hot.  Very happy. 

This won't be the last possibly.    I can see some team getting desperate after a QB is left at 6 and doing what the Jets did.

I used to be a draft junkie, bought all the mags , watched the shows. Then the Colts got good and it wasn't as interesting for some reason.

Don’t be surprised if he trades back from 36 or 37.

 

 

[Corndog]

I hope they can still get Chubb at 6, this team needs a pass rusher in the worst way.  If Chubb and Nelson are gone at 6, that means there is a QB available and I would be more than fine with trading down again for more picks.

or up.  teams in the late first tend to like to move from there

[CR91]

Now here's a question, let's say the bills offer both their 1st round picks and the top of the third to move up to 6 for a QB. Would you do it?

This! 

 

In the din of despair, there are shouts of anger, frustration, and disappointment. Yet, this GM carries his plan like a torch, undaunted by the antagonistic rumble. 

 

I smile, vindicated.

Like others have said I see him a a safety and that's it that's why I'm not high on him if we needed a FS I'd be all over him tho he's not a bad player at all 

 

Yes he's a safety, with CB coverage ability. It's not unheard of.

If Chubb is available, no, just because there is a big drop off in quality of pass rushers from him and despite the terrible offensive line, this is our biggest need.  If not, sure, might even have a shot at Nelson at 12 if some of the projections are correct.  

[Aaron86]

I'm so happy we have a GM who will build success and not ride the coat tails of AL, TY, and others. I mean those picks we're far to easy For Grigs to get Executive of the year. AL won him that award.

 

 

 

[SteelCityColt]

Is it wrong if I think it would be amusing if the Jets took Chubb at #3 now? 

 

Adds even more interest to an already fascinating draft. It all pivots around the Giants' intentions really. If the Browns can be fairly sure the Giants are going QB or trade to a QB needy team they've got to feel good knowing they can get their pick of the QBs AND a possibly generational RB in one draft with decent picks behind still.

 

The Colts still have further scope to trade back depending on the dance partner, but I think right now I'd like to snag Nelson. 

 

Side note - For all those moaning about not getting FA or that FA. The Osweiler pick up by the Texans is really haunting them in this draft...

i wouldnt put money on it, but i wouldnt feel great about betting against it either

 

landry could be a guy that falls and we make a move back up for

I think you're in a minority of one on this one... 

[Freenyfan102]

Yup!

 

I think the key would be to get more Day 2 picks this year AND next.

 

By the way, there is an interview with Ballard up on the website NOW.   He's talking about what he did, why he did it and what he might still be willing to do.

 

Check it out.   It'll make your heart race!

Another losing season under this *

There are some Jets fans out there who think they could be taking Baker Mayfield 3rd overall.  I think that would be a huge mistake

 

I like Mayfield.  But if Rosen is there and they don't take him, they're incompetent.

Awesome trade.   I’d rather get a stud on d with the 6th pick (fitz)  and get ol in the 2nd round.  The draft looks really deep on guards

I agree with you but who would we get at 6

You complain and complain and complain every year. Why don't you just go find another team?

Yeah , if only we had kept our completely inept tool of a  GM and clueless coach who were carried by a kid QB so much that they eventually took away two years of his prime.

 

Man I miss that.

Love the move, surprised that it happened in March as opposed to draft day, doesnt hurt us but may hurt the jets as any team could jump to #2 and steal the jets preferred pick

 

They are guaranteed one of Darnold, Rosen, or Allen.  It's win, win for them.

Not what most are saying many think he's a pure safety. Everyone thinks he's Ramsey but that's prolly not the case

That's a really good haul.  I'd be interested in seeing if anyone wants to trade up to 6.  Maybe move down 3 or 4 spots and gain another 3 or 4 picks in the process.

 

That will be a draft day deal, set up oin advance . The call will be made only if 'their guy' is on the board when Colts pick is up.  Maybe Ballard will have a contingency plan in place with another team if the first fails. OTOH, Ballard better be very confident in all the late first and second rounders they project to fall to us being better than just merely ok to good players for this to work.

Jets fans feel their history of second round busts was worth parting.  2 this year and, they hope, an early (almost 3) next year.  ;-)

Chris Ballard you are redeeming yourself!!!! Now trade #6 pick to Buffalo for even more picks..

 

Nobody will trade to 6 unless they know 'their guy' will be there.  This would be a draft day deal, pre-setup of course.

Yes. More likely he looks at guard with the 2nd round picks.

It depends on who else is there he's going to take the best player.

In what way? Their styles are not similar and their off-the-field issues are not similar... at least not that I know of. 

His character comes across that way to me.  Arrogant player, thinks very highly of himself, that could be his downfall.  It's good to be confident, but I think he's arrogant

I don't see the comparison, except for the "do-oosh face" factor.  Some are just born with it.
