Trubisky and Jets QB history tug at Maccagnan with Jets’ pick

The Jets have drafted more quarterbacks than any other team in the NFL since 2006. They have taken eight in all, one more than the Broncos. The names do not make for a pretty list: Kellen Clemens, Erik Ainge, Mark Sanchez, Greg McElroy, Geno Smith, Tajh Boyd, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg.

None of them have proven to be the long-term answer at quarterback, though there is still a chance for Petty and Hackenberg.

So, will general manager Mike Maccagnan add to that list on Thursday night with the No. 6 overall pick? There has been speculation for months that the Jets might grab North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in this spot.
