Re: Jets "Unlikely" to draft a QB http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/jet...&vote20526056=1<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Based on what several people with knowledge of the Jets' strategy have been saying for days, it seems highly unlikely that the Jets will use the first pick to select a quarterback. And if you listen to the widely divergent scouting reports on the top quarterbacks available, it's easy to understand why.</div>Also, check out the poll to the right. Interesting results.
Re: Jets "Unlikely" to draft a QB I want a QB, period. I dont care if its a first rounder or a third rounder, but I want someone who will be the Future of this Franchise. Id be perfectly happy if we went with a RB and OT in the First and Whitehurst in the third round.But I also refuse to believe anything thats said now because of Smokescreens. If the Jets were looking to draft a QB there of course going to downplay their interest in them so someone doesnt trade up and take our guy.

Re: Jets "Unlikely" to draft a QB <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>April 26, 2006 -- The following is an early attempt to talk anxious Jets fans off the ledge regarding the team's plans with that precious fourth pick in Saturday's NFL Draft: They have no plans to take Matt Leinart, Vince Young or Jay Cutler.Barring some veteran smoke-screen work by Mike Tannenbaum and Eric Mangini, it appears almost certain the Jets will not take a quarterback that high. It's widely believed they will draft a QB from the so-called second tier of available bodies, with hopes of finding a gem out of the first round.That pool includes Alabama's Brodie Croyle, Clemson's Charlie Whitehurst and Oregon's Kellen Clemens. According to their scouting system, the Jets believe none of the "big 3" QBs is worth the No. 4 pick."My opinion is we're all grouped together, the top five or so quarterbacks in the draft," Whitehurst told The Post by phone yesterday. "In my opinion, the top five are very similar in their ability to play, and I'm not sure [Leinart, Young and Cutler]are worth a top-five pick in the draft."Obviously, though, those three guys are going to be drafted first and then we're battling for that fourth spot, myself, Brodie Croyle and maybe Omar Jacobs [Bowling Green]. I would love for them to pass [on a QB] with that fourth pick and draft me later."While the Jets do need to draft a QB prospect for the future, they have too many other pressing needs (offensive line, defensive tackle, tight end, etc.). And they are fearful of drafting another Ryan Leaf, Heath Shuler or Akili Smith.A bust skill-position player can set a program back immeasurably. Jets fans will forever recall the drafting of running back Blair Thomas in 1990.</div>
