that was my initial reaction too but mayock made a good point... it safegaurded against another team trading with the jags to take petty. we had 3 7ths, i dont mind moving one to make sure we got petty.
Don't see why this changes much Geno is still the guy everyone wants to take the job....Fitz is the safe backup plan and Petty is the developmental guy
Looking at the NFL.com Draft Tracker, it looks like the Jets only gave up their last 7th round pick to move up the one spot. If so, then definitely worth it.
dang, was hoping we would snag sample later in the draft. was nice to see Mauldin getting pressure on all those interceptions
This is the dumbest post I've seen in a long time. Let's see if Petty can develop into a #2 before we talk about him as a #1
Ok, well I bet someone (Bills?) had a deal to trade up with the Jags and we beat it to get Petty. I'm glad that we took a Qb in this draft, though I personally liked Hundley better.
Confirmed: Adam Caplan @caplannfl 35s35 seconds ago #Jets say trade is: NYJ 4th (104th) and 7th (229th) in exchange for #Jaguars 4th (103rd).
There are already 2 developmental QBs on the roster. There's no reason to take another guy like this if you aren't sold on your first one. If they wanted Geno to take the job the would have given him an O lineman here.
we have to find the answer at QB - probably Petty wont be it but we don't know that yet and the only way we can guarantee we never get the answer at QB is fi we stop trying to find the answer - so happy enough with the pick and decent value
Not bad, move up 1 spot and give up our Mr. Irrelevant pick for a QB with some potential. I'll take it.
