I would, if we cannot get Moore, and also assuming he measures 6-2 and not below. But not with our pick. Maybe the Colts one or trade back into the 1st like the Giants last year.
What’s the difference? You think he’ll be a better player because you take him 15 slots lower? If you’re using a top 20 pick on a QB, you’re taking him to be the guy.
Only way Jets move up to 2 is if one of Giants/Raiders win both games, they both are ahead of Jets by SOS so a tie the Jets lose. Fun fact the Jets can still get the #1, just need a tie between NY and LV and then both to win next week.
That's funny: https://x.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/2005117185476407805 Place on IR but playing basketball and jumping on trampoline. If I am the NFL I am taking away their 1st round pick in 2026!
Seeing Pete Carroll on the sideline. It's pointless to hire a OLD head coach if the results aren't going to be immediate. If it's not a win now deal. We're seeing something similar here with the Jets with Coach A.G. There's very little or no upside at all.
It's all about evaluation. Probability of success is lower, so you spent a lower pick to mitigate the risk, but it is still worth a shot. It's typical risk/reward analysis. In the meantime we are getting Reese or some other blue chip player at #3.
LOL. Lose 1 of these ST wins, and we are #2, lose both we are #1. Don't have to spend any draft capital and still pick a good QB prospect. Good thing we learned how to win though.
Yeah I understand the premise but I wouldn’t waste a first round pick on a QB I don’t think is going to be a good player. It’s the only position you can’t afford to puke away a pick on because you’re likely tying two years of your teams success to them at a minimum. It’s not like taking a risk on a low floor/high ceiling defensive end.
I am with you on that concept, but I draw the line at second round, since in recent history it hasn't proven to work from probability perspective. QBs get pushed up now to the point that everyone decent is likely selected in the 1st. There are examples of lower probability 1st round picks succeeding, like Love, Nix, Dart has shown enough to have some hope. Simpson to me could be Nix level, hence I personally would draft him if I cannot get Moore/Mendoza. I do hope we can get Moore though still. Hopefully the Bills have something to play for next week though as I want to make sure we get 3d pick. Maybe we could move up 1 and get Moore or Mendoza or straight up. If not, then it is Simpson for me.
Simpson doesn’t run/can’t run at a NFL level (like Dart or Nix) and doesn’t have an elite arm (like Love). Heady player and decent accuracy inside 20. All 3 of those guys had a ton more starting experience in college as compared to Simpson too. Hard pass. You’re trying to simply compare draft position without analyzing the prospects actual translatable NFL skills.
I did analyze his skills. I posted some all 22 on the other thread and watched now quite a few games. He is not my favorite guy (Moore is), but I do think he is a 1st rounder, pending measurements. I was just responding to your comment as far as draft position, but the response is rooted in what I think of him as a player.
I didn’t mean you personally have never watched him but the post I was responding to was only trying to analyze draft spot. We firmly disagree on Simpson. I think he’s a bad prospect elevated by a good system as an overly mature prospect. The same system that got Penix drafted in the top ten. We’ll see what happens with him.
Opinions on him have changed a LOT over the last month. Could change again if he plays well against Indiana. But, I'm with you - what little I've seen has not blown me away.
The need for a qb is so great, Woody is going to demand they take one in rd.1 to get people in seats.
