The general consensus after the New York Jets turned the NFL world on its head at the trade deadline is that the team is gearing up to select its next franchise quarterback in the NFL Draft.
This isn't a shock, of course. Justin Fields was always meant to be a stopgap. But the club amassing a stockpile of draft picks, including five first-rounders and three second-rounders, over the next two years opens the door for them to move up the board to get the quarterback of their dreams, should such a move be necessary.
The strategy isn't new for New York.
