A glimpse at how the Jets could attack the quarterbacks and specialists in the upcoming NFL draft:

You may have heard … the Jets need a quarterback. They will take one with the No. 3 pick on Thursday. That is about the only sure thing we know. Which quarterback is still a mystery. Could Sam Darnold fall to the Jets at No. 3? If he is gone, who would they pick?

There has been a ton of chatter around the NFL over the past month that the Jets love Baker Mayfield. Is the chatter accurate? Maybe we will find out on Thursday if he is there for them to pick. Those familiar with the Jets’ discussions say there has been hearty debate within the organization whether to take Mayfield or Josh Rosen, assuming Darnold goes No. 1 or 2. If Darnold falls to 3, expect him to be the pick. If he is gone, the expectation is it will either be Mayfield or Rosen. My money is on Mayfield. He would bring a brash attitude to the Jets and was the most accurate passer in college.

As for specialists, it would be a surprise if the Jets took one. Punter Lac Edwards is in his third year with the team and has shown promise. The Jets signed Cairo Santos at kicker last month. It is conceivable they could take a kicker late, but they have too many other needs to invest a pick on a kicker.

Top 10 quarterbacks

1. Sam Darnold

USC, 6-foot-3, 221 pounds

His intangibles, clutch gene and prowess at making plays off platform enable most NFL decision-makers to overlook his elongated throwing motion and propensity to fumble. Accurate on the move with good anticipation.

2. Josh Allen

Wyoming, 6-5, 237

Looks like Tarzan, is as accurate as Jane. Biggest upside. The prototypical size and rare arm talent will seduce many, but this is the definition of a project. Boom or bust. Whoever drafts him will ignore his 56.2 completion percentage.

3. Baker Mayfield

Oklahoma, 6-1, 215

More Drew Brees and Russell Wilson than Johnny Manziel, but he’s still a shade under 6-1. Accurate alpha dog with a forever chip on his shoulder. Inspirational leader with accuracy, mobility and moxie.

4. Josh Rosen*

UCLA, 6-4, 226

The most pro-ready of the bunch comes armed with baggage — durability (two concussions, shoulder) and his love for the game. Silky smooth throwing motion. Is he too smart for his own good? Too entitled? How much does he love football? Why would UCLA coach Jim Mora say that Darnold would be a better fit in Cleveland?

5. Lamar Jackson*

Louisville, 6-2, 216

“A spitting image of me,” according to Michael Vick. A taller, righthanded version. Former dual threat Heisman Trophy winner who will need time and a system designed for him. “The most spectacular athlete in this draft,” NFL analyst Mike Mayock says.

6. Mason Rudolph

Oklahoma State, 6-5, 235

Will need time to adjust to pro game, and some question his arm strength and eacapability, but he did throw 92 TD passes in a spread system, and he has size, smarts and character.

7. Kyle Lauletta

Richmond, 6-3, 215

A poor man’s Jimmy Garoppolo. “He doesn’t have the big arm that’s gonna push it deep or vertical,” says Joe Marino of NDT Scouting, “but he can keep an offense on schedule and hit throws in rhythm.”

8. Chase Litton*

Marshall, 6-5, 230

“He throws well on the move, he’s got a big arm, but his decision-making needs improvement, he needs mechanical adjustments so that he can stay on top of the ball better so it doesn’t float on him,” Marino says.

9. Riley Ferguson

Memphis, 6-2 ¹/₂, 212

“He reminds me of Ryan Fitzpatrick,” Marino says. “He doesn’t necessarily look very fluid with what he’s doing, but he gets the football out on schedule.”

10. Mike White

Western Kentucky, 6-4, 224

“He’s a below-average prospect,” Marino says. “He’s got a big arm, but his footwork is so slow and so robotic. … I think he’s a one-read guy and then he really panics when that first read’s not there.”

Late riser

Kyle Lauletta, Richmond: Stock rose dramatically at Senior Bowl, could now go as high as second round.

Dropping fast

Kurt Benkert, Virginia: Flawed passer with big arm.

Small-school wonder

Logan Whiteside, Toledo: Not the greatest physical tools, but accuracy makes him interesting.

Top five specialists

1. Quadree Henderson

Pittsburgh, 5-8, 190

Two long punt returns for touchdowns this season and seven for his career. A WR who is also dynamic as a kickoff returner.

2. Dante Pettis

Washington, 6-1, 192

A WR whose nine punt return TDs are an NCAA record.

3. Nyheim Hines*

N.C. State, 5-9, 197

Electric Leon Washington-like RB with 4.3 speed and two kickoff return TDs and one punt return TD.

4. Daniel Carlson

Auburn, 6-4, 223

Big-legged FG kicker who was 92-for-114 (80.7 percent).

5. Michael Dickson*

Texas, 6-3, 205

Aussie rules punter (47.4-yard average) and Ray Guy Award winner could go as early as fourth round.
