Oregon. Marcus Mariota. 6. player. 30. The rumors of Philadelphia trading up to the sixth pick to pick up Mariota died when they traded Nick Foles for Sam Bradford, a player who is held together by Elmer’s Glue Sticks and struggles to complete checkdowns. In that case, the Jets stay at six, and they pick their replacement for Geno Smith. Mariota’s two-way play, accuracy and decision-making would give the Jets a dangerous offensive centerpiece. The major negative is his inexperience in a pro-style offense.
<p>This pick was almost Clemson’s Vic Beasley, who is perhaps the draft’s best defensive playmaker and would help the Jets atone for Vernon Gholston.</p>. QB
