He first joined the league as a second-round pick of the New York Giants in the 2013 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, where he was a First-Team All-American in 2012.

The No. 37 overall pick is the Jets’ original second-round pick. By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. NY sent the Indianapolis Colts the sixth overall pick, the 37th overall pick, the 49th overall pick and a second-round pick next year.

The move strongly suggests the Jets will take one of the five first-round worthy quarterbacks in this year’s draft. If both players are off the board with the first two picks, the New York Jets could select Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen or Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman Trophy victor, Baker Mayfield.

“With the third pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select Sam Darnold, quarterback, University of Southern California.” . Those fears were compounded after NY lost out on prized free agent Kirk Cousins to Minnesota. NY selected Dewayne Robertson out of Kentucky, who lasted five seasons in the Meadowlands before he was traded to the Broncos. The Jets also re-signed cornerback Morris Claiborne, defensive lineman Mike Pennel, offensive tackle Ben Ijalana and safety Terrence Brooks. This franchise, in a perpetual search for the next Joe Namath, needed something long-term. Would they be happy with the fourth quarterback off the board?

The 25-year-old Crowell complements veteran Bilal Powell and second-year back Elijah McGuire in New York’s running game. They fill in the gaps that the stars don’t fill to make out a complete roster. That is thanks to the Jets blockbuster trade with the Indianapolis Colts, who are in the position to take Quenton Nelson if the New York Giants do not beat them to the punch. The 25-year-old Bridgewater was a first-round draft pick in 2014 out of Louisville and was largely considered a rising star at his position before the injury.

Yes, that would mean the top four picks of the draft would be quarterbacks.

We move onto the secondary market of free agents.

In the aftermath of the stunning trade, speculation now focuses on how it impacts the Colts’ options with the 6 overall pick.

The Colts had done very little in free agency – until Saturday. They’ll also receive a 2019 second-rounder.
