For three years, Mike Maccagnan avoided long-term commitment at quarterback -- no first-round draft picks and no multiyear veteran contracts. It was the NFL version of speed dating.
Now in his fourth year as New York Jets general manager, Maccagnan is ready to settle down.
With a blind date.
He doesn't know which quarterbacks will be available with the third pick in Thursday night's NFL draft, but he's prepared to hitch his reputation -- and the future of the franchise -- to the best quarterback available.
If Baker Mayfield is available, he should be that guy.
