CHICAGO — The New York Jets made an early splash as Day 3 of the NFL draft began Saturday, adding to their quarterbacks stable with Baylor's Bryce Petty.
After a night of contemplating who remained on the board, New York moved up one spot with Jacksonville to get the prolific passer who operated a spread offense in college. Petty will have plenty to learn in the pros, and will have Geno Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Simms ahead on the depth chart.
But the Jets have had inconsistency at the position for years, and new coach Todd Bowles has no ties to the other QBs.
