Report: Jets will take Mayfield if Darnold is off the board

nyjuggernaut2 : 4/19/2018 12:52 pm
Watching FS1 and they just reported that if Darnold is gone by 3 than the Jets will take Baker Mayfield as apparently he's the #2 QB on their board.

They also said when Mayfield went on a visit with the Chargers they sent him some plays a couple days prior and asked him to memorize and be ready to talk about the plays. However, he never memorized them and told the Chargers he was too busy to look over them.

Finally, they mentioned the only QB the Giants like in this draft is Sam Darnold.

If Darnold is available he's the pick

No way we let the Jets get him..

Two weeks ago, we reported that league insiders believe the New York Jets will select quarterback Baker Mayfield with the third selection. And while Josh Rosen is still in consideration for the pick, those representing the top quarterbacks in this draft tell me they also believe Mayfield ends up with the Jets. One source, who has dealt with quarterbacks at the top of the draft the past five years, believes Mayfield to the Jets is a “done deal.”

I don't think

the Jets want Darnold at all. In fact, I am almost positive they don't.
Not surprising  
illmatic : 4/19/2018 12:57 pm : link
You trade up to the 3 because you want a QB who isn't likely to go in the top 2. You had to assume they liked someone other than Darnold/Rosen/Allen. Or that they at least had similar grades on a few guys and would be happy with either one.
The ever famous done deal...

It's the kiss of death.

they look at Mayfield as being a Namath-like personality.

That won't work in today's NYC. Hope they take the gamble instead of us.
I still think Jets traded up targeting Mayfield

he's their kind of renegade.
He's the best QB

in the draft. Hopefully the Giants don't give the Jets the option to take him at #3, especially to take an RB.

I think Mayfield in NYC will be a disaster. He's too immature.

Really?

Who the heck really knows save for Dave Gettleman and his closest draft advisors?

Did you see him play against Georgia back in January? He was average at best, and finished with a 52.0 QBR.
There's a match made in heaven.

#1)Barkley/Allen
#2)Darnold
#3)Mayfield

Yea I did. What's your point? I also saw Darnold play against Notre Dame and completely shit the bed and cost his team a shot at the playoff. At least Mayfield made a lot of plays in that Georgia game and gave his team a chance to win.

I like Mayfield's body of work and skill set more than Darnold's and think it'll translate into NFL success.

while being an ass doesn't play well in NYC.

He won't be Aaron Rodgers or Brady, he'll be White Goodman.
I really don’t want Darnold.  
Oscar : 4/19/2018 1:13 pm : link
I don’t know why, gut feeling. Give me Rosen, Mayfield or Barkley/Chubb/Nelson.
And tomorrow  
giantsFC : 4/19/2018 1:19 pm : link
there will be rumors that the Giants are going to draft Lamar Jackson at 2.

So tired of these "experts" and their shit stirring media gossip.
I want Mayfield in NY

I think it will be fun to see unfold. Could go either way, haha.

SJGiant : 4/19/2018 1:26 pm : link
Didn’t have time to memorize some plays before his visit to the Chargers, that speaks volumes of how ill prepared he is to be a QB in the NFL. I would think you need to take serious your profession and prepare for the interview if asked. Red flag..
Or maybe Mayfield doesn't want to play for the Chargers.

Yeah... I remember another highly regarded QB....

... about 15 years ago who didn't want to play for the Chargers.

That worked out pretty well if I recall.

If you don't want to play for the Chargers, DON'T go on the interview. That simple. Nobody forced him to go.
I think Rosen is their prize.

I agree, they traded up for Mayfield.

But maybe they like Darnold better, just didn't trade knowing he would be available
They have a 39 year old QB and a Top 3 Pick.

It absolutely baffles my mind that this infuriated so many people to the extent it has. Holy shit, man. You’d think Beckham beat a woman with the way supposed fans have reacted. Holier than thou bullshit artists.

I’m so outraged by a pissing dog!!! Grrrrrrrr
And what if they're both gone?  
Eman11 : 4/19/2018 4:22 pm : link
Do they settle for their plan C or call the Giants about moving up to #2 and insure they get one of the two?

They moved up to draft a QB. I think of all the picks in the top few, we can almost be assured the Jets are taking a quarterback.

thrilled if they do so. Many of those people worship the memory of Chad Pennington . Baker is going to be much better, plus he’s more of a prick so he brings some Joe Willie to the equation , as well .

Manhattan Mayfield  
fanofthejets : 4/20/2018 12:48 pm : link
Will be an outstanding QB wherever he goes. He makes lightning quick reads, has a great arm. Outstanding god given accuracy. He's not tall but people make it out like he's 5'10. He's 6 feet and 1/2. He doesn't have a lanky build though so perhaps that gives the impression that he's shorter than he is.

Teammates loves him. Great leader. Great passion for the game. I'd be shocked if he doesn't end up an above average QB. He is way more driven than Sanchez or Manziel
The Chargers  
fanofthejets : 4/20/2018 12:55 pm : link
Not sure if that story is true. Could be the regular fog of war slander stuff that comes out during the draft. I'm sure you all remember the story of the Giants wanting Deion Sanders to take some massive test before the draft and Sanders asked, "Where are you drafting?"

Giants - "18th"

Deion gets up and walks away "Nah, I'll be gone by then"

Mayfield has no interest (and was probably advised by his agent) to stay away from the small fry chargers and their high school field. It's the right move
