If you want a comparison the 49ers gave up three firsts and a third to move up from 12 to 3 in the 2021 draft. Before you use the draft pick it seems to be worth a fortune, not so much after you actually have a player, not just a 'lottery ticket'. It makes zero sense. I would rather have the proven NFL player. Carlie/Ballard seem to get this. I'm loving this version of the Colts, love being set up for a big unexpected success story or a huge fall. It is as good a year as I can remember with this team, a diversion I am really thankful for.

I think the smart Jets fans want to stockpile picks in order to have the ability to go get the quarterback they want.

And there is some merit to that plan.

They have literally no confidence that their front office will get the right guy, though.
