What's the cost to move up to take Lawrence?

The Jets have Darnold and he's not a bad QB just on a bad team.  I would imagine that the Jets would be willing to listen if the price is right.  They could use a couple extra picks to turn things around.  Especially if Lawrence says he doesn't want to play for the Jets. 

I'm not a fan of trading draft picks for one player but for the sake of a discussion (argument) what would be the cost.

There's a matrix out there that puts values on picks. (Attention all you draft gurus)  Say we draft at our current draft position at #6.  What realistically would it cost us if we chose to try and trade for Lawrence. 

Sam "seeing ghost" Darnold is awful. The Jets are tanking specifically for Lawrence.  Someone would get fired or cut if they won.

If anything I'd trade out of a Top 10 pick if someone falls in love with one of those QBs.

We need as much talent as we can gather.

Trading picks to move up would be suicide - much like the Jags drafting a QB at #2 overall. Poor sod would get David Carr'd.

Two Words, Ricky Williams.   Remember how he turned out for the Saints. 

It sure looks to me that everyone wants to mortgage their future for the unknown quarterback.  I understand he has potential.  But, think about what you have if you are wrong.

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

For a team that still has a lot of holes, it's gotta be on the table.

Only if you're not sold on the QBs that are available. In that case, sure.

When all is said and done, I think it's very possible that the quarterbacks we would be "sold on" in the first round might not make it to us.

If that's the case, I know you're just as uninterested in reaching for need as I am.

      Interesting that people are calling for our DC'S head, when we never would have been in the game if it wasn't for the defense.  Never should have gotten to OT.

      Philly's defense is great and they run the ball a lot and control the TOP (and they certainly will vs us - this is a big mismatch), so even if Bryce is at his best, I doubt he would have a chance to crack 300 passing yards.  Be damn impressive if he does though, but it all just depends on volume, efficiency, and most importantly... not turning the ball over.

      Even with Cam I don't think it would have been a hard sell. He always loomed larger than life, but most people that understand football understand the reality of the game. One wrong hit, one wrong step, and a career can be over. It's the thing I've been frustrated about most with every GM we've ever had, including Morgan to this point. We never really developed the QB room. We relied on our starters and when Jake and Cam fell apart, so did the franchise. That's the one position that you can't really afford not to develop a plan B, but we do it with regularity. Dalton wasn't supposed to be a serious threat to Bryce's job and Jack was never a threat to be anything at all. JMO, but we should always have a young guy we're trying to keep on the bench with at least 2 years in the system. If they're not getting it, move on, but always keep rotating guys through. It seems like 2-3 years really is the magic point for QBs to either get a handle or not. It's probably not going to happen, but I'd really like to see that 3rd QB emergency slot become a permanent place to work on developing young QBs. I think it could benefit every team in the league because it's so hard to carry 3 QBs on the roster with all the turn over during the season due to injuries.
