If you look at some of the draft value charts, a trade with the Jets would look something like this:


Jets send:

1.10
3.72

Colts send:

1.15
2.46


Basically a pick swap - the Colts would lose their mid round 2nd round pick and replace it with the Jets early 3rd round pick to move up 5 spots in the 1st Round.

Don't disagree that we need an elite pass rusher at DE. But the most important thing both short and long term is developing AR. So surrounding him w/ enough talent to succeed should be the priority, and (at least IMO) he doesn't have enough weapons in the passing game. Yes, MPJ and Downs fit the bill, but JT and Pierce don't (again at least IMO). While JT's a great runner he is an average pass catcher. Pierce is a one trick pony who struggles to get separation and also struggles to make contested catches. So if we have the chance to add an elite receiver to the mix then we should do so IMO.



No doubt it'll take more than just a late rounder or 2 to move up, but IMO it would be worth the draft capital to move up and draft some elite talent. Like I said before the chances of that are slim to none, but it's something I would like to see.

I think you're wrong on Pierce, he was open deep a lot, problem was Minshew
couldn't get him the ball !!

Minshew didn't help, but for someone who was supposedly open all of the time like you guys claim he was Pierce sure seemed to have a CB draped all over him most of the time when he was thrown the ball. Even w/ AR like on Pierce's dropped TD pass in week 1. At any rate IMO he hasn't shown enough for us to pass on someone like BTJ.

Although if Bowers is there I'm hoping we take him.
