Crazy draft year for the QB! I know guys like Mel Kiper Jr. and especially Todd McShay love Darnold and are projecting him #1, and he's got a ton of upside. I'm just not sure that he's ready yet. USC had a decent season, but they didn't look good in their Bowl Game. I actually have Darnold ranked #5 out of the big-name QB's coming out. I know the sample-size is a bit smaller and the numbers not as gaudy, but I like Allen out of Wyoming as the top QB prospect. Huge arm, big frame, won at Wyoming, which is really really tough to do. With all the talent and highly ranked recruits surrounding Darnold at USC, it was a bit easier for him to look good as well. A small sample-size and playing at a smaller school don't necessarily mean much in today's NFL, look at Carson Wentz. Thanks again for the great article and info.

Say it ain’t so Eli!

Fun fact, Geno Smith’s start in 2017 made the Giants the final team to have a black starting quarterback.

This year is completely nuts. Go ahead and look at 10 different mock drafts and I'm sure there won't be two that look the same when it comes to the top 10 picks. Shoot....I've seen soooo many different top 3 pick scenarios.
Darnold seems to be linked with the Giants in most. And I can see it.
Who will be behind center for my Jets this year? hmmmm

It sounds like Denver will be making a serious push for Kirk Cousins, and might be the early favorite, but Elway is going to have to open up the pocket book and pay big-time top-dollar, which he may or may not be willing to do. But I think the Jets will be in the running for Cousins and along with Denver would be my co-favorite to land him. The Jets have the cap-space and I think they would love to make a big splash in free agency. If they lose out on the Cousins sweepstakes, you never know about a Tyrod Taylor who is going to be available as well. While Taylor may not have put up gaudy numbers, he was a very solid starter for the Bills and took care of the ball well. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out!

Good points. I have mixed feelings about breaking the bank for Cousins. We have so many holes to fill right now and actually a pretty good/young foundation. Taylor would be fine in my eyes. I actually wanted Jimmy G. It’s been so long since we had a viable franchise QB. Sick of “bridge” veterans to groom projects that don’t pan out. We have an offense built on high percentage, 4-7 yard, 3 step drop passes that the Fitzpatrick’s and McCowns actually look good. (Until they get exposed because they NEED to make a play.
My biggest nightmare, is resigning McCown, picking a CB first round 🙄(visions of Dee Milner dancing around my head) and then selling the fan base on a second round project QB because this is a “QB rich draft class”. Telling us it’s the safe thing to do.
We can get a Taylor and have the cap space to sure up the OL line, get a 2nd CB, an edge pass rusher and even a WR that can burn to stretch the field with Robbie.
Sorry for the long response. Lol.
Frustrated Jets fans need therapy sometimes. : )

Thanks! You make excellent points as well. I hear ya with the whole sign a viable "bridge" QB veteran guy (like re-signing McCown) and then going CB and the 2nd Rd QB pick. I can see how that would be the nightmare scenario. Yea Jimmy G would have been a great fit for the Jets, and although its a small sample size, he seems to have the goods to deliver. Fair enough about Cousins, because you're right, its going to take breaking the bank to get him, and like you said, with all the holes to fill, it might make more sense to go in another direction. Glad you like Taylor, I really think he would be a good fit for the Jets, and of course, will come much cheaper than Cousins. Like you said, that would free up more cap space to help sure up the OL line and get some help on D and hopefully add that stretch burner to round up the offense. No need to apologize lol - I lived out in Rhode Island for 10 years surrounded by Patriots fans before coming to southern Cal and it was rough. Personally, I can't stand the Pats, which I'm sure is a sentiment you share lol. Anywho, awesome analysis, I couldn't agree with you more!

I think you have a great opinion on your team and you sure know your stuff. I don't think Cousins would be a good fit in your offensive of scheme. He obviously has more of a long ball then your current QBs. I think Tyrod Taylor would be a great fit, a better version of Geno Smith. He can throw, run, and make plays. He would need some support from your OL. I think drafting another QB means another year of rebuilding. But as you mentioned some of the QBs in this years draft can be solid starters.
Good luck and GO Jets Go!!! LOL

I’ve seen him all over the map in drafts. Sometimes dropping all the way to Denver. Sometimes to the Giants. My fingers are crossed for Denver to sign Cousins and then hope Barkley drops to 5. 🤞🏻

Darnold isn't the only Trojan who got some recognition from Mayock either. Running back Ronald Jones II ranks third behind Saquon Barkley and Derrius Guice in Mayock's estimation. It's tough to tell if that could put him.

notorious562 (47) · 7 years ago

If he goes to New York Giants he would have a great mentor if Eli stays. I just hope he doesn't go to the browns and start next year. If he eases into the NFL he will have a successful career in my eyes.
