The Jets love and Eli Manning echoes that make Darnold a steal

Here are some of my thoughts and analysis on the Jets taking Sam Darnold with the No. 3 overall pick:

1. I’m not sure how there are some Jets fans who don’t love this pick. Look, no one knows how any of these players will perform, including the decision-makers on the teams. It is all a crapshoot. That is why the draft is fun.

However, I think you can grade the teams on logic and the Jets get an A from me for this pick. The trade was smart. I know the Jets gave up a lot with three second-round picks, but guess what you do that for?
