John B. asserts that trading up for a quarterback—even one they "love"—should be off the table if it means depleting premium draft resources. Drawing on recent examples like the Bryce Young, Trey Lance, and Sam Darnold deals, John B. warns of the high costs and low success rates of aggressive draft maneuvers, urging the Jets to focus on building around their next signal-caller instead.

Key discussion points include potential draft targets such as Caleb Downs, the value of premium positions, and the wisdom of using top-10 picks on non-quarterbacks. The mailbag episode also tackles the idea of a Geno Smith reunion, creative ways to use Justin Fields, and projected rule changes that could reshape the NFL game. Don't miss John B.'s sharp breakdown of the Jets' draft strategy and roster moves.
