As a new Jets regime prepares for its first offseason, Florham Park is poised to become the epicenter of the 2015 NFL Draft and hold the fate of Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Yes, the Jets, currently holding the No. 6 overall selection in the April 30-May 2 spectacle in Chicago, may own the key to how the entire first round plays out. With reports surfacing, per ESPN's Pat Yasinskas, of Tampa Bay's preference of Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, the No. 1 overall pick likely won't be Mariota.

When scouring the teams selecting 2-5—Titans, Jaguars, Raiders, Redskins—a good case can be made for each franchise passing on the duel-threat Heisman trophy winner.

Enter the Jets, a major impending decision and the Eagles possibly on the phone with an offer to bring head coach Chip Kelly's handpicked quarterback aboard to run a high-octane attack.

Agree? Disagree? What should the Jets do if Mariota falls to No. 6?
