Agreed. But the idea of this just means we are going to be out of position for the QB we want. If that's the case and there is no trade up. We better be drafting DE/DT , MLB , SS. To fix the teeth of this defense it's atrocious
This is exactly why you don't see me jumping from joy when Atlanta drops an easy catch against us to get into the FG range at the end to win and we end up 7th instead of 2nd in the draft. The QB cavalry is not coming via free agency or a trade. The only guy I can see with some upside there is Tanner McKee, and he is another low probability lottery ticket. Others are not even lottery tickets, just feeble attempt to use some warm bodies to plug a hole. Which is why I am convinced we will be drafting a QB in the 1st round this year and it will be one of the 4 guys we discussed. Really one of the 3 guys because Sellers I think will not declare.
Yeah, I suppose Mills is also like a lottery ticket along with McKee. These two guys are the best of the bunch. And you have to trade assets to get them. A bit depressing...
The best situation for the Jets is for all three QBs to end the season and playoffs on a high note. If Moore doesn’t declare and or Mendoza/Simpson have a poor last game the likelihood of us picking a QB with the first pick is far, far less likely. Which quite frankly would not upset me much. We can strengthen much needed critical positions on defense.
Why would the Texans move Mills? He helped save their season this year and they extended him through 2026 on an extremely team friendly deal. You’re not getting Mills unless you’re giving up a 2nd or 3rd round pick. There’s also some recently bias here about him. He’s ok. He was awful in the first half against Buffalo despite the defense dominating. He was ok on a really bad roster his first couple years. There’s pretty limited upside though. He’s a check it down guy.
If NYJ wants Will Levis, - it would probably be a trade somewhat similar to the Zach Wilson trade to Denver. NYJ traded Wilson + a 7th rounder to the Broncos for a 6th rounder. NYJ + Denver also ended up split 50/50 the $5.5 million payment Wilson was due that season.
