3. New York Jets (via CHI)

Mitch Trubisky . 3. player. 30. Facts are facts at this point for the New York Jets. They have zero definitive answers at the quarterback position. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith and Bryce Petty were all failures. Christian Hackenberg may figure it out one day, but all signs indicate that day is years away. The Jets can’t afford to wait that long. They need somebody they can build around now. Odds are they won’t get one unless they move up, so they swing a deal with Chicago to do so. <p>Mitch Trubisky is the most inexperienced of the top quarterbacks in the 2017 class, but he also features the most complete skill set. He has size, a strong arm, throws accurate passes and can tuck the ball to run. What stands how is his elusiveness in the pocket and ability to fit the ball into tight windows while under pressure. These are all things a pro quarterback needs to have success. The rest is repetition in practice and having decent help around him.</p>. QB. North Carolina
