Let’s take a walk down memory road to see how bad the Jets are at drafting QBs before anyone wants to downplay probably losing out on Lawrence in the draft.

First up: Mark Sanchez

The Jets traded 2 draft picks and 3 players to Cleveland to take Sanchez #5 overall and actually had considerable success despite for 2 of the 4 seasons Sanchez started, despite him throwing more INT than TD and fumbling 43 times.

In 2011 the Jets took Greg McElroy in the 7th round to compete for the backup job.

He appeared in 2 career games (1 start) and was incredibly ineffective. He was cut in 2013.

(I witnessed him throw his only career TD against AZ after Sanchez was benched for throwing 3 INT)

Next came Geno Smith, who the Jets drafted 39th overall in 2012 to compete with Sanchez

Geno showed very few glimpses of potential but ended with just 28 TD compared to 36 INT and 17 fumbles in just 33 games

His time with the Jets ended when he got his jaw broken by a teammate

An often forgotten one is Bryce Petty, who the Jets drafted in the 4th round in 2015.

He was never viewed as a potential franchise QB, and his play confirmed that as the Jets won just 1 of 10 games he played in (7 starts).

After 3 seasons the Jets cut Petty.
