As we get ready for the 2018 NFL Draft, the Jets are keeping their eye on Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen, and Baker Mayfield. But the search for a quarterback isn't the only thing going on with the Jets. With that in mind, let's answer your questions in this week's Jets mailbag.

Among the topics this week — is Josh Rosen or Baker Mayfield a better option for the Jets?

Don't Edit

Ira in Staten Island, via email: I think there is a chance the Giants take Bradley Chubb at No. 2. I believe the Browns take Josh Allen first overall. And then Sam Darnold falls into the Jets' lap, like Jamal Adams and Leonard Williams. Thoughts?

I don't see it happening, but the Jets would obviously love this. I would be surprised if both the Browns and Giants pass on Sam Darnold. He is probably the best quarterback in this draft class. Chubb is a very strong pass rusher, and I suppose the Giants could take him, but it would be dumb, if Darnold is still on the board. The Giants need to get their quarterback of the future. That is more important than replacing Jason Pierre-Paul. If Josh Allen goes first overall to the Browns (which is possible), the Giants could also attempt to trade that No. 2 pick to a quarterback-needy team. Odds aren't good that Darnold lands with the Jets, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Tom, via email: With the Jets having multiple needs, yet only six draft picks, what are the chances they can get someone serviceable who is cut by another team (for depth/special teams)? Anyone who stands out as possible?

Yeah, the Jets could attempt to supplement their roster like this. But for the most part, free agency signings are over and teams have turned their attention to the draft. Remember, the Jets have enough late-round picks (one each in Rounds 4-7) that they can get depth players that way.

Will whatever QB is drafted at 3 play this season? Or will only QBs such as Baker and Darnold? If the Jets for some reason landed Josh Allen I don’t see them letting him play this year. — Paul Harris II (@paulharrisNFL) April 12, 2018

I agree. Josh Allen probably isn't ready to start in 2018. If the Jets wound up with one of the other three quarterbacks, I could see any of them playing this season. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Josh McCown is the Week 1 starter, and the rookie winds up taking over at some point later in the season. Fans will wring their hands over this — McCown starting in Week 1 over the draft pick — but there's nothing wrong with it.

Without considering the QBs in this years draft class, how would you rank it in comparison to previous years, lets say last three years. I know we have to wait & see, but do the "experts have an opinion"?Also, how does 2019 shape up? Thx — Dave (@yayankee) April 12, 2018

I'm a bit confused by the question, but I think you are asking how this year's quarterback draft class stacks up to past years. It's way too early to assess 2019. But in terms of this year, there is no sure-thing Andrew Luck type. But between Darnold, Rosen, Allen, and Mayfield, there are four very promising players. You generally don't see that type of quarterback depth in a draft.

Rosen or Baker? — dangeo (@dangeo23) April 12, 2018

I like Josh Rosen over Baker Mayfield, if both players are available for the Jets. But I think Mayfield would do just fine in New York. And as Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks mentioned the other day, I think both Rosen and Mayfield would be scheme fits in Jeremy Bates' offense. It's Rosen over Mayfield for me, but not by a huge margin. They're both very good players, and both a notch behind Darnold.

With the Jets set to draft a QB with their first pick, can Maccagnan PLEASE use some of his remaining draft picks to address the offensive line? — Gary Feder (@GFeder1) April 12, 2018

This isn't a strong class for offensive tackles, but the Jets could get some guard depth in Round 3 or 4. Once you get past that, you're looking at drafting backups, rather than future starters. Ultimately, the Jets at some point need to figure out a long-term left tackle solution, because Kelvin Beachum isn't that. But considering the low value in this year's offensive tackle class, and the Jets having one pick before No. 72 (which they're going to use on a quarterback), this probably isn't the year to get the left tackle of the future.

If the #Jets drafted a player that would absolutely stun us fans, who would it be? — JetsFanIsland✈⬆✈⬆ (@JetsFanIsland) April 12, 2018

Interesting question. Obviously, a non-quarterback would stun fans. Bradley Chubb and running back Saquon Barkley are both talented players, and the Jets could use either guy, but I think both would qualify as stunners if the Jets took them, considering a quarterback is a shoe-in pick ... or so it seems. Quenton Nelson would be another stunner, even though the Jets could use an elite offensive guard.

Nro edge rushers we need to get a sack specialist & any word on Hankins? #JETS — Knicks-Yankees -Jets- me7o/next team -NYR loyalty (@forevershinin) April 12, 2018

The Jets have interest in Johnathan Hankins, but I would hardly call him a sack specialist. He is more of an interior defensive lineman. I think the Jets would be fine with him, for the right price. In terms of edge rushers, yes, the Jets need to get more production in that area. They could address the position in Round 3 or 4. We recently wrote an item (right here) on how the Jets can address edge rusher in the draft. Check it out to see some possible options.

Do the Jets have anything worthwhile to the Giants that would get them to swap their 1st round Draft positions? Do you think the Giants will trade out of the 2 spot with another QB needy team? #Jets — Andy N (@apmn14) April 12, 2018

No, the Jets don't have any players they'd be willing to trade, in order to move from third to second. If that trade happened, it would involve draft picks. Ultimately, I think the Giants will stay at No. 2. They need to get a big-splash player, whether it is Barkley or Chubb or a quarterback. Again, I think they should draft a quarterback. This notion that Eli Manning has a lot left in the tank is absurd.

If you had to guess, how do you think the Jets have the QB's ranked on their board? — Ghost and Rhaegal deserved better (@gsantos725) April 12, 2018

They should have Darnold ranked first. After that, tough to say. I think they like Rosen and Mayfield as potential scheme fits. They ought to be wary of Allen, in terms of him not fitting the scheme, and also in terms of his accuracy issues. It's a total guess, but I think they have the quarterbacks ranked like this: Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, and Allen. Or maybe that's just because that's how I would rank them, with an amateur eye.

What do you make of all the Jets WR additions the Jets have made, does it have anything to do with Robby Anderson? Sending a message to him or maybe releasing him, are the additions connected in any way to Robby himself? — Bleed Green 247🕛✈🏈 (@BleedGreen247) April 12, 2018

If the Jets were going to cut Robby Anderson after his legal troubles, they would have done it already. They're sticking with him, while preparing for the possibility that he will screw up again ... or the chance that he will be suspended. Anderson is obviously getting the benefit of the doubt because of his talent. Which is just how the NFL works. Ultimately, the Jets are adding these receivers — and there are no big stars in that group — to find some depth at the position. Chad Hansen and ArDarius Stewart might wind up being crummy draft picks, so the Jets need to cover for the chance that neither is able to contribute in 2018.

Do you think there’s a chance they try and get back into the second round? Kony’s contract details came out, what was the deal there? He was very disruptive and worth the $. — K (@TheUnlikely1) April 12, 2018

I don't see how the Jets can do it, in terms of getting back into the second round. They don't have enough assets to pull it off. In terms of Kony Ealy, he was a fine player for the Jets last season, but they obviously didn't really value him at all. We'll see whether they wind up being right, or your assessment proves to ring truer.

Don't Edit

With the draft on the horizon, who do you think is the best undrafted player of all time? — Phil Tyrer (@tyrernyj22) April 12, 2018

Another interesting question. I had to consult a list of the best all-time undrafted players, in order to get some ideas. The top five on that list: Warren Moon, Kurt Warner, John Randle, Antonio Gates, and Jeff Saturday. I would probably give the nod to Warner over Moon.
