Draft Note by John Paulsen
On a per game basis, Darnold has produced at a fantasy QB3 level in his first two seasons. He lost his best big-play threat (Robby Anderson), but the Jets replaced him with another (Breshad Perriman) and added Dezel Mims via the draft. The team also invested in the offensive line, which should help since Darnold had the league’s highest rate of dropbacks under pressure, per PFF. Darnold posted the 9th-highest adjusted completion percentage when throwing from a clean pocket, so if the offensive line can gel quickly, Darnold could become a valuable streamer in his third season.
