We (the team, maybe the board) *think* we have the QB. I agree that you don't forfeit value just to stack the cards on the offensive side, but a Joe Thomas would help us a heap more today than a Darelle Revis would. Like you said, it would be fortuitous if Campbell looks to be a dominant LT, and we somehow stay in the vicinity of where he'll be picked.

I don't foresee us picking first next April, but crazier things have happened.

Its comical you say the bolded yet pointed out Garnder hasnt helped the Jets win anything?  Do you know why the Jets havent won since they drafted Gardner?  It because the same reason Thomas didnt win, the QB position.  At least Thomas's position helps the QB so your bolded was a pretty bad response.  Football is the ultimate team sport.

So you're agreeing that if we believe QB is figured out, taking an OL over a DB is better?

And I even stated the exact same thing you said (OL helps QB), so uh, might want to look at the entire context before you start chuckin stones.

Simply put, if we end up with the first pick in the darft and we walk away with Travis Hunter, I have no confidence that our course will be changed in any form. We'll still be lost offensively and unable to accomplish the most basic things like converting 3rd and shorts consistently or equipping our QB to prove whether or not he is the guy. It accomplishes little.
