Armstead doesn't blow. He doesn't get a ton of playing time. Eifert had more playing time his first 2 years than Armstead. Plus, it was known that Armstead would take some time to adjust into the NFL. Also throw in that Armstead is still very young. Armstead will be 23 by the beginning on next season. Allen will be 22 at the beginning on next season.

I can agree on that. Others have had to do it. But his primary focus should continue to be pass rushing.

They can fetch a premium. However, Bradford in Minnesota may cause teams to back off of premiums like that. However, Garoppolo is also in his rookie contract and is younger than McCarron. There are other options out there.

Just because Fitzpatrick is still playing doesn't mean someone can't "unseat" him. They put in Petty but he got hurt, then Fitzpatrick played very well. Plus, they paid Fitz a TON of money, so might as well get a high draft pick. Hackenberg is a rookie, and Bowles might be the guy who wants to sit his QB for a year. Teams still believe in doing that. Gus Bradley wanted to do that, but his hand was forced with Bortles.

I just don't see the Jets trading for a QB in all honesty. Bears I could see. But they might also stay put and look at QBs there.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the 'ers are notorious for falling in love with guys and reaching in the 1st.  They are the biggest wild card at the top of the draft because of this.  They could take Taco Charlton and I would only be mildly surprised..

I don't see NE dealing Garappolo because of Brady's age.  After watching the last couple of years of Peyton's career, you can bet Brady doesn't want to be remembered like that.  If he gets that 5th ring, he's done, imo.  

A lot depends on how the draft order shakes out.  Right now, the Jets have 3 teams that definitely need a QB and one that could be looking in front of them.  They could get scared of missing out.
