I dont know.
I really like him and his ability, and I hope he is the difference maker we need
But for a team with so many needs, IMO a trade down and extra picks would have been wiser.
the fans will start to boo and this team will be in qb hell if they put their eggs in the Webb basket. Lets see 5 years from now when a second ODB contract and SB are up and we have no qb...I hope Mara cleans house at that time and I will be here to remind the RB fan club that you never take a rb this high. Dumb as hell
As others have said he's the best player in the draft at a position of need. It isn't 'stupid' but it's a really big gamble. Hope Eli has his shit together.
This team isn’t gonna be a playoff team next year.
Over analyzing....
Maybe they examined recent history and said, "You know, trading down from a top-5 pick hasn't really worked out very well has it?"
What’s not to like? I love it
The QB I liked best was Mayfield.
We got the highest rated player in the draft.
We need a HOF RB here out of this pick

I'm a trade down dork, but you cannot be upset about adding an arguable best overall at the possible spot of most need!
I hate the Jets, but even I would laugh if/when this happens.

Could have gotten at least another 1st rounder.
Now the Jets get their pick of Darnold and Rosen. Bills will probably move up to 4.
