    I’m aware it was 3 but I’m pointing out that the other 2 was from trading a player that no one thought had any value since it was known he’d be cut AND got a very productive #2 starting WR.

    If we had a FQB already, Barkley would be nice, but we can't afford to trade up for a RB when we aren't ready to win.

    The Jimmy Johnson chart wildly overrates top picks. When you look at how well drafted players actually do in the NFL, you see that giving up multiple picks to trade up three spots rarely works out. This case is different though because a QB is involved.

    TBD, if it's for Rosen, Darnold or Mayfield then yes. If it's for Allen or anyone else then no.

    This is of course assuming the player the Jets love is actually the right player. Which doesn't sound so good when you think about it.

    Yeah Penny remember the last time we traded up for the franchise QB.. Thats right Dirty Sanchez. I consider Barkley a sure thing the QBs who knows which one or two is gonna make it. Historically its a 60 % success rate with first round QBs .. Stats were posted maybe a month ago. Barkley would make Bridgewaters life much easier.

    I do hear your argument, but like I said, Jets didn't make this move for a RB. It isn't even worth debating.

    Not trading up is the decision you make if you are delighted to be the 6th seed in the playoffs every three years (and never be a legitimate Super Bowl contender). Trading up is the decision you make if you'd actually like to see the team win a Super Bowl in your lifetime.

    Now that doesn't mean the person drafted will work out; he might suck (see Sanchez). But at least we tried.

    I’m surprised it took 3 seconds, but two of the best teams in the NFC traded a lot to move up for a QB in the last three years and didn’t seem to be hindered by not having those picks.

    Because Goff and Wentz worked out. But before those two, the track record of teams trading up for QBs was awful.

    True, but you don’t draft a player unless you expect him to succeed. Players failing is simply an inherent factor in the draft that you try to minimize but you can’t eliminate it and certainly don’t avoid picking a player you believe has the ability to succeed simply because he may not.

    For this reason, I believe the rookie sits at first. The OL will have to get partially fixed with the rest of the draft, remember Mac loves mid round OL picks for value.

    The rest of the line will have to get fixed next offseason.

    I think it is a lock to get Rosen or Mayfield because mac went to see them this week and he made the move to 3 without seeing darn old or allen. He must have liked what he saw:)
    This was a excellent move. It not only gets us a potential fqb but it keeps our pick from buffalo, miami, cardinals. I was for sure that buffalo with all their picks was going to jump to #3. EXCELLENT MOVE MAC.

    Just because no one stands out doesn't mean they're not good. If buffalo made this move everyone would be calling mac out for not being aggressive.

    AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED WE JUST STUCK IT TO BUFFALO & BRONCOS....AND ANY OTHER QB NEEDY TEAM WILLING TO JUMP AHEAD OF US:)

    You don't trade up to #3 to get a QB with under 60% completion rate in college and questionable decision making. If they do draft Allen, that be very moronic.

    It puts the pressure on Cleveland to take QB in pick 1 now for sure. Barkley may go to the Giants or he may fall in Clevelands lap at 4, that is what they have to hope for now

    I don't really see that - I think they always had to figure that Indianapolis was either going to pick a QB (if Luck was done) or they were going to trade out (if he wasn't). The Jets clearly think that they would be happy with any of three QBs (it doesn't matter who those three are), or they wouldn't have moved up to #3; if the Browns feel the same way they should definitely take Barkley at #1 and whoever is left (or their favorite of who is left if the Giants don't take a QB) at #4. Nothing has changed for them - if they have a clear preference at QB they were always going to pick QB at #1, and if they don't they shouldn't have before or now.

    I think mac is sold on three of these qb and the move solidifies getting -1 of them. If he only liked 1 of them I don't think he would have made the move. That's why I feel he was impressed with Rosen & Mayfield at there pro day this past week.

    I'm good with this. If Mac had waited until the draft the price would have been much, much, much, much higher. I'm glad he was able to make a deal now.
