Shedeur Sanders, who was considered a top 10 pick, has fallen through three rounds. As of now, the Jets are a team without a franchise QB. Just because the Jets paid Justin Fields 40M doesn't mean a guy who was rejected by two teams will suddenly find success here. If drafted at this point Sanders will cost virtually nothing. Should the Jets draft him?
I’d be OK with drafting him at this point. He should be fairly motivated to prove everyone wrong and it wouldn’t keep us from taking a QB at the top of next year’s draft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Glenn is trying to build a culture with this young team. Nobody needs all that drama around a back up QB. We’ll get a QB next year.
Can’t remember the name of the guy jets drafted who slid to the 3d round and IIRC didn’t make it out of training camp jachai polite? Was an edge. Supposed first round talent
You can’t sell people on a culture change and then welcome a circus to town. Not to mention a guy who got mad when teams called him out on not knowing things they specifically asked him to learn. You go from potential top 3 pick to day 3 pick for a reason.
So has every coach who has come to Atlantic Health. In the NFL, you win with top QB play, not culture. You want culture? Then win football games. That's what builds culture.
Cross-posted from the draft thread. At this point you could draft him, tell him if any circus comes to town you'll cut him on the spot, and follow through on that threat if necessary.
Had we signed Rex to come back, sure, draft Sanders. Now that we have Glenn…that clown car has pulled away, hopefully.
Young Mr. Sanders is being taught a hard lesson about knowing when to keep your mouth shut. And no, the Jets shouldn’t take him
I think it’s clear that the NFL as a whole thinks that he’s dragging a circus along with him and the talent isn’t worth the squeeze. I am pretty shocked he’s tumbled this far because I think he’s an elite decision maker with a good enough arm, accuracy & athletic profile to be an effective QB in this league. He must’ve bombed the interviews combined with everything Deion & co will bring with him though. It still feels hypocritical to me though. I know a lot of you guys dislike him because he has a big mouth, but he doesn’t get in trouble, he reportedly works hard as fuck and has been trained by a Hall of Famer who knows how to work hard. He doesn’t get caught out partying, beating women, driving drunk, etc. He’s just got a big ego and he’s 22. I think he needs more slack than he’s given by fan critics at least.
watched a few interviews, saw his "draft" room... and it was enough. The guy is the polar opposite of the culture Glenn is looking to create. The Jets do need another body at Qb and there's a few guys left on the board worth taking a flyer on. Ultimately, I think they will draft/sign North Dakota State's Cam Miller who they had a top 30 meeting with.
Agreed. When I read about his “stipulations for training camp” I knew teams were going to run from him. As a Syracuse alum I watched almost every Cuse game last season and I’m surprised that Kyle McCord isn’t on anyone’s radar. He set just about every passing record last year for Cuse and played well at Ohio State before that. He looks like a classic pocket passer. It seems like he’ll end up an UFA. I guess there are issues with him I’m not privy to.
Agree on McCord. Big, old school Qb.... maybe that's his problem. His arm reminds of Sam Darnold. Will Howard is another guy I like at this point too.
I hope for his sake that he takes this as a lesson that the new guy on the job is at the bottom of the food chain, no matter how good he was in college, and that he's humbled and has success wherever he goes. However, knowing how the Sanders genes are, if he does succeed and become a superstar somewhere, he'll end up forgetting what he learned on draft day and fall right into being what every team worried he was going to be. It might be that the trend is going against classic pocket passers; teams want guys who can either make things happen on designed runs, roll out and throw on the run, or at least scramble effectively in a busted play. All the top QBs right now are scramblers and gunslingers: Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, Hurts, Love, Daniels, etc. There are still teams with successful classic pocket passers, but that just doesn't seem to be where coaches and GMs think the game is going.
To me it seems evil and mean spirited what's happening to him. Before the draft when I googled his name and Jets I got links to a former Jets scout destroying him saying if his last name wasn't Sanders he'd be a late round pick or undfrafted something along those lines. It's happening but it seems mean spirited to me very personal. Wherever Shedeur Sanders goes late rounds or undrafted if he gets a shot I hope he goes on to have a career like Tom Brady had. I'll be rooting for him. To his credit the former Jets scout put his name to what he said.
