Those fans hoping to see the new York Jets select Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza in the NFL draft with the first overall pick won’t be thrilled with the way things have played out in recent days. Even after losing yesterday’s meeting with the Patriots, the Jets are unlikely to have a shot at Mendoza.
With the Raiders losing their game to the New York Giants, they hop up to pick number 1 and realistically, need a quarterback just as badly as the Jets do. Sure, they’ve got Geno Smith, but he’s a quarterback at a point in his career where he should be replaced.
