Between the Jets and the Giants, who do you suppose is more at ease entering this year’s NFL draft, which begins Thursday night (if there’s any such thing as being “at ease’’ for any NFL executives as the draft approaches)?

If you answered Jets, you’d be correct.

Sure, the Giants have 12 picks in this draft compared to the six the Jets own. And sure, two of those 12 Giants picks are in the first round, Nos. 6 and 17 overall.

But the Jets enter this draft in possession of something the Giants don’t have and presumably will be searching for beginning Thursday night: a franchise quarterback.

The Jets selection of Sam Darnold with the third-overall pick in last year’s draft injected their organization with a renewed sense of energy and hope. It, too, has liberated their 2019 draft, allowing them to address other roster needs with their picks.

So, with the No. 3 overall pick in the first round, the Jets don’t have to be stressed and obsessed with whether to go after Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins or Duke’s Daniel Jones or Missouri’s Drew Lock or even Oklahoma’s Kyle Murray, who’s expected to be the top pick made by the Cardinals.

The Jets don’t have the quarterback worries the likes of the Giants, Dolphins, Redskins, Broncos and even Raiders have this week.

Instead, the Jets can afford to lock in what they believe they need most, which is help on the defensive front with pass rushers and quarterback disrupters.

Unless the Jets trade out of their No. 3 spot and move back in the first round to accumulate more picks (specifically the second-rounder they traded away last year to move up to get Darnold), they’re likely to pick either Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, Kentucky edge rusher Josh Allen or Houston defensive lineman Ed Oliver.

For a change — and it’s been a long time coming — the Jets have had the rare luxury of not having to even scout college quarterbacks in advance of the draft. Presumably, that has them even more dialed into the players who can help their defense, offensive line and perhaps receiving corps.

“When you have to evaluate quarterbacks, it’s a long process,’’ Jets coach Adam Gase said Wednesday after a minicamp practice. “It’s an inexact science, probably the toughest position to evaluate. Whether you’re in personnel or coaching, when you know that’s not something you’re really concerned about [entering the draft] that helps a lot.’’

Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said it feels “weird when you actually feel like you have one,’’ referring to a franchise quarterback.

“Somebody asked me at the Senior Bowl how Daniel Jones from Duke looked and I was like, ‘Honestly, I’ve probably watched him throw the ball twice and I really have no opinion on him,’ ’’ Maccagnan said.

Ignorance is bliss in this case.

Same for Gase, who’s had the benefit of conducting this week’s extra minicamp afforded to the Jets because they have a new head coach. Gase has been growing more impressed with Darnold with every minute he spends with him.

“He takes coaching as well as anybody I’ve ever been around,’’ Gase said. “He wants to do things right and he tries not to make the same mistake [twice].’’

Darnold lost to Gase’s Dolphins twice last season, throwing one TD and six INTs in the process. The second meeting — a Nov. 4 pillow fight of a game in South Florida won by Miami, 13-6 — was Darnold’s worst performance as a pro. He threw a career-high four picks in that game.

“We talked about that game and specifically some of the coverage changes done by the defensive staff, where we did a few things that we hadn’t necessarily shown and that were different to anything [Darnold] had seen,’’ Gase said. “Two of those [interceptions] were end-of-the-game desperation plays and two were ones where he got fooled by those coverages. That’s part of the developmental process for a young player seeing things that he’d never seen before.’’

Indicative of Darnold’s improving career trajectory, he threw six TDs and only one INT in the Jets’ final four games after the four-INT Dolphins debacle. Tangible evidence of the good hands they find themselves in at quarterback as they watch other teams, like the Giants, scramble to find theirs in this draft.
