FWIW, we are now assuredly going to be in a position to draft Sewell or Chase. Jets trade Darnold to Carolina for a 2nd (2022), a 4th (2022), and a 6th (2021). Good haul for Darnold.
Upshot: Jets are 100% taking a QB.
Upshot #2: Trading down just got more unlikely.
First off, Carolina now has a young QB. No way they expend more draft capital to move up and take another. That leaves Denver & NE as possible options. But with Carolina likely out of the QB market, picks 6, 7, & 8 are likely position players (Miami with Tua, Detroit just traded for Goff, Carolina for Darnold). If we trade down to #9, chances are good Sewell, Chase, & Pitts all are gone.
