The good news is that this would be GM malpractice on the parts of the Jets' and the Falcons' parts.

If you have a top 5 pick and need a QB, you take a QB. It's that simple. I hope they agree.

Except they don't necessarily need QBs.

Matt Ryan can still play a few more seasons if he desires, so there is not a mandate to get a QB now.

Darnold is still on his rookie contract.  Remember "Suck for Sam"?  He was considered the best prospect since Andrew Luck, was he not?  One can make the argument that he hasn't worked out, so it's time for them to move on.  But no argument can be made that they were anything but a mess as a franchise.  Meanwhile, the Jets just canned the coach they hired specifically to develop him because he had worked with Manning prior, as the whole world watched his prior prospect Ryan Tannehill go from crapping the bed under his tutelage to an AFC Championship game followed by another playoff appearance away from Gase.

Both teams could, and should, put serious consideration into transactions that do not involve taking a QB.
