Today Mel Kiper was asked about the New York Jets and their quarterback position. Someone asked him if he would take a quarterback in the first round with the 18th pick, and Kiper responded that he believed the team needed insurance, but not in the first round.
“I’d try to help Geno Smith and get a receiver like Marqise Lee (at 18), but you must look at some insurance if Smith is not the guy,” Kiper Jr. said Thursday on a media conference call, adding: “I would look at the quarterback position in the third, fourth, fifth round, just as insurance, but I would use the early rounds to help out Geno Smith, and let him have some weapons around him to assist in his development.”
