What Would the Jets Do?

Hypothetically, if the current draft position holds, they’d have the #2 pick behind the Lawrenceville Jaguars. Do they move on from Darnold in favor of Fields? Conventional wisdom says no, with the most likely scenario being an attempt to trade down. What do you think?
 

Buckle up. It’s gonna be an interesting few months.

The way Fields has looked recently I wonder if he will even be the pick at #2. I think the Jets will look to trade out of the #2 position and feign denial.

However, the relative value between pick 1 and pick 2 in the 2021 draft is vast not unlike the difference between Lawrence and the rest of the upcoming QB draft class.

The combine (assuming there is one) and other workouts are going to be telling in 2021. There is going to be limited film on many of the QBs (Lance and Fields especially). Such is not the case with Lawrence.

    • If there's a prospect who looks strong on the field but has the question marks, makes sense to bring them in and see if they are indeed a nutjob or not.  Especially if they couldn't get a good sense in limited time to meet him at the combine.  Randy Mueller has talked about it before -- many GMs don't just use these top-30s to validate the guys they already love.  Although we seem to do that and kind of show our cards a lot lol.   But to the point, if they love tape, have met enough coaches/teammates and talked to them at the bowls/workouts, many teams don't need to wine and dine and get to know them.   There's certain guys who get to know regional scouts, GMs and position coaches starting mid-college season last year.    On the flipside, there's the wildcards who aren't privy to developing relationships with the pro-community while in school, have bad reps, and teams need to dig a bit further into it.  A top-30 becomes a good measuring stick for those teams think could be a stellar fit but are unsure on who the guy actually is - which matters a ton at the end of the day.  Organizational fit has so much more weight than let on and is why these drafts after the first few picks get so all over the map.

    • I mean, NTs are already basically a unicorn. You're looking for a guy who is big enough and strong enough to hold up snap after snap with two 300+ pound NFL athlete technically proficient people movers trying desperately to move you off that spot. That is a HARD guy to find that can hold his ground snap after snap in those scenarios. It's the trade off of the 3-4. Teams love it because it puts more speed on the field and 3-4 OLBs are easier to find than 4-3 DEs but that NT is a hard spot to fill.
