Description: In this heated segment, Marc "Moose" Malusis tackles the ultimate New York Jets dilemma: whether to mortgage the future to move up from the No. 4 spot for Indiana’s Heisman-winning quarterback, Fernando Mendoza. Malusis argues passionately that "if you get the quarterback, it’s all worth it," regardless of the draft capital surrendered. Reflecting on the organization's past failures with Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson, he challenges the Jets to finally prioritize quarterback development over draft-pick hoarding. With the Giants potentially sitting on the No. 1 pick and already rostered with Jaxson Dart, Malusis explores the possibility of an "all-New York" blockbuster trade that could finally provide the Jets with a 15-year solution under center.
