New York Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick could have more depth behind him after the NFL Draft. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News said it would not be surprising if the Jets selected a quarterback at some point in the draft, adding that they wouldn’t hesitate to draft a quarterback with their No. 20 overall pick if they were strongly convicted with someone still on the board.
Footballguys View: Geno Smith didn’t turn out to be the franchise QB the Jets had hoped for, so they’re going to continue looking for a long-term answer. With the 20th pick, perhaps somebody like Paxton Lynch (Memphis) or Connor Cook (Michigan State) would still be on the board.
