Last year, the Jets traded up from the No. 6 overall pick to the No. 3 choice. This year, GM Mike Maccagnan says they’re open to moving down from No. 3 (via ESPN.com’s Rich Cimini). 
“Right now, we feel good at No. 3, but I’d definitely say if there’s an opportunity to trade down, we would absolutely look at it,” the GM said.
The Jets have 20+ impending free agents and multiple holes to fill, so a trade down would make a lot of sense. Typically, teams trading down from top 5 picks tend to pair up with quarterback-needy teams, and interestingly enough, the rival Giants own the No. 6 pick and could be one of those clubs. The Jets and Giants haven’t pulled off an intra-Meadowlands trade since 1983, but Maccagnan is not opposed to breaking the 36-year drought.
“Yeah, I think I would be open to any team that would,” Maccagnan said, when asked specifically about the Giants. “As long as the trade made sense to us, there’s nothing that would stop us from doing that.”
The Jets could be in line for a big haul if one team badly wants Dwayne Haskins or Kyler Murray. Alternatively, they could stand pat and have a chance at players like defensive end Nick Bosa, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, or outside linebacker Josh Allen.
That would be a very Jets thing to do, passing on a all pro talent like Williams.
Their D-Line should honestly be the least of their worries. O-Line, Pass Rusher, WR, RB are among the much bigger needs.
Many of those can be addressed in free agency. This draft is loaded with upfront defensive players. Jets could capitalize moving the pick.
Right, they could trade down and still buff up defense. I’m just saying Williams shouldnt be at the top of their shopping list. Lets see how FA shakes out first
I like the idea of a trade similar to last year’s jets/colts trade. Giants could deal this years 1st and 2nd plus next year’s 2nd for the #3 pick. Jets could then grab a Defensive lineman, a WR or trade down again.
Jets gave up another 2nd on top of that which is significantly more value. Probably wont get three 2nds to move down 3 spots
I mean, the Colts got three 2nd rounders to move down three spots. That said, it probably is unlikely to get exactly what they gave up. Anyway, andremets simply said “a trade similar to last year’s jets/colts trade”, not that they will get exactly what the Colts got.
Take it easy. Giants aren’t trading their top two picks plus more to move up 3 spots to reach for a QB.
Trade the #3 pick to the Giants for their #6 and Odell. Giants can get their QB of the future in Murray, while the Jets would fill a hole at WR while still being able to draft a very high end player. It also eliminates the trade buzz surrounding Odell that doesn’t seem to go away as long as he stays with the Giants.
Jets need a lot of help! There the browns of 2016-2017 season where they went 0-16
idiot
Except they went 4-12, so they’re not.
No real point in being in the top 5 unless your looking for a franchise QB or a Walter Payton type RB.
Now that Kyler Murray has measured over 5’10” and his hand size is good, the best is yet to come. When scouts see his passing and elusiveness in the combine, he will go in the top four overall. Take the best offer Jets and stock up!
If they can’t get multiple second round picks they should stay where they are and take Bosa. Not a Jets fan but that would make sense if they are not getting multiple second round picks for the number three selection
