The Jets can't afford to make a mistake with the #6 overall selection in the NFL draft. If they come away from today impressed and comfortable with Mariota, there is a good chance he'll be our selection if he's available. We still have an obvious need for a QB and with Fitzpatrick on board, Mariota could be afforded a year to sit and develop, exactly what he needs.
Mike will obviously still be negotiating free agent contracts from the Oregon pro-day.
