EJ Manuel

Seems to me not a lot of people are talking about him but I feel fits well with the current NY Jets. Over 60%, big, can scramble, and went proven winner with a 12-2 season with a bowl victory. FSU averaged 39 points/game. He also didn't play with any top notch offensive talent. Would it be a surprise if he starts climbing draft boards post combine? Is he there for the Jets in round 2? Or am I too high on him?

Jets are a defensive team and this is the type of quarterback that can't create points on his own with the current offensive talent. It's not a popular opinion but I would go heavy on the defense and fit late offensive athletes and let them develop together. Manuel looks like he can extend plays.
