Jets May Prefer Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold
7 years agoFrom what ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay is hearing, the New York Jets may prefer Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield at No. 3 overall over UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen. Mayfield impressed the Jets in the pre-draft process and quited any concerns about his off-field issues with his 2017 arrest. General manager Mike Maccagnan has reportedly warmed to the idea of Mayfield over the last few months, too, and the only hangup is that he's barely over six-foot tall. The Jets love Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen's arm and athleticism, but they have concerns about his accuracy, so they could prefer USC QB Sam Darnold over Allen at No. 3. The bottom line is we really don't know until the names are called in the first round. Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater are currently on roster, but it's basically a lock that the Jets will select their signal caller of the future with their first pick, and whoever that is could be starting early in the 2018 season.
