I have some free time, so I want to fire off a tweet thread about the effects of losing the number 1 overall pick and how I believe the #Jets should approach the HC search and QB decision.
I think losing out on the no. 1 pick makes the Jets a significantly less desirable...

...desination. Whereas the Jets were previously in the mix for top college HC candidates (e.g. Campbell/Fitz) as well as top coordinators (e.g. Saleh/Daboll), I think those options are off of the table.
I think the Jets' main selling point is that Joe Douglas can draft enough good players to surround the young QB.
Now, on the topic of a QB, I'm sure JD and the rest of the front office have strong opinions about whether or not the team should keep Darnold, but I doubt they...

I also think missing out on Trevor Lawrence drastically changes the pool of candidate we can draw from. Instead of interviewing top candidates like Campbell/Fitz/Saleh/Bieniemy/Daboll, the Jets will probably choose...

...from a pool of Martindale/Eberflus/Caldwell. The "tier 1" candidates will probably have no interest in this team. For fans who want an "offensive mind," Joe Brady and Arthur Smith might still be in range. I think the Jets could also pursue some younger candidates who are...
...position coaches or pass/run game coordinators. Mike McDaniel, Mike LeFleur, Mike Kafka (basically all the Mikes) are all options. There's obviously a ton of inherent risk in picking these candidates, but no more than the risk in picking Joe Brady imo...
...Regarding Quarterbacks, I watch QBs for the Draft Szn podcast for #TOJ and I ranked the top 4 quarterbacks as follows: Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance. I have a massive gap between Lawrence and Fields, a medium sized gap between Fields and Wilson...
...and I believe there is a small gap between Wilson and Lance.
I think Fields and Lance fit the mold of player that this Front Office values: physically talented players who may be perceived by some as "raw." If I had to bet money on who the Jets pick, I think they would...

This is not only what I think the Jets will do, but it is also what I would do.
