player. 30. The New York Jets don’t just need a quarterback. They need a leader. The situation with their team has devolved into near anarchy with the locker split into factions. It’s a big reason why they fell apart so quickly after just missing the playoffs last season. Ryan Fitzpatrick is done. Bryce Petty didn’t look like much. Christian Hackenberg has shown no signs of being worth the 2nd round pick they spent on him in 2016. If there is any doubt about his future, the decision at #6 is clear.
<p>Deshaun Watson represents everything the Jets don’t have. He’s a leader on and off the field. He knows how to make plays with his arm and his feet. He comes through in the clutch and now he’s a national champion. The young man just understands how to get it done. He would be a breath of fresh air in that locker room. Somebody to rally around. Yes, there are concerns about his ball placement and accuracy. That alone should not erase all the other good things he’d bring.</p>. QB. Clemson. Deshaun Watson . 6
