Keeping Darnold wouldn't have fixed the O-line issues

WJCougar

If they had kept Darnold and build around him.... it could have though

Could have parlayed that #2 pick into serious draft capital to fix o-line

J. Walter Weatherman

Penei Sewell was taken 7th in that same draft and is considered one of the top OL in the NFL

I wonder if Darnold beating the Jets was the last straw.

We may have gotten to see Zach sit for some time behind Jimmy G.

He is best suited as a DC IMO. The Jets as an organization is and has been a dumpster fire for years...set up to fail...

Is BYU’s run game net improved/worsened minus Pay but plus our full RB stable?

I would trade any ONE of our running backs for Pay this week

Yes. Reid has won with two different franchises. When he took over KC, they had won 3 playoff games in 40 years

RealTaysomHill

10:20am

In this scenario, will Reid draft an all-time QB to the Jets?

garyfan

10:21am

Well, he turned McNabb into a top 10 QB in the NFL, revived Alex Smith’s career, and turned Mahomes into a top 5 guy

That’s fair. I assume Mahomes was going to be an all-timer regardless but that
