You can't trade down. It is not a draft discussion, it is an OROTY discussion so you have to pick Jones or Chase.
In this case I would take Jones for the spars, but Chase for the Bengals, as they already have their QB.

How? Explain.the thing is that the QB position is way more difficult to master in the NFL when coming from college than WR position
seriously?How? Explain.
I had him in FF Sunday.

We understand your premise. Of course we want to see our own win the award, but you need to be able to see this objectively. Chase isn't just "top 3," he broke the rookie receiving yards record, and is looking like a WR phenom.So the question should be, your team needs a QB and a WR and you can pick a qb who ends up being a top 12 in the league his rookie year, and looks like he has tons of upside, or a WR who ends up being top 3 his rookie year, which one would you take. My guess is almost everyone would chose the qb. The qb touches the ball on every play and ends up being responsible to get the ball to the wr.
That doesn't answer the question as to who deserves to win the award more. They both deserve it.
If you could pick one player for your team, would you rather have Chase or Jones?
Jones is throwing to the 1st WR picked in the 2019 draftWhat jones has done this year is simply amazing!
in our complex offense, his pre snap reads are spot on. He had mastered formations, line calls and knowledge of what the defense is doing pre snap.
but jones can not overcome the fact that we have the slowest and nearly least talented receiver room in the nfl!
chase is the shiny penny that the voters will gravitate toward.
but keep in mind, that burrows, the first overall pick is throwing to chase a top 10 overall pick.
jones is a top 15 pick throwing to a motley collection of mostly slow and flawed receivers.
You had Tom Brady for 20 years though. Let's see if Jones can make everyone around him better as a rookie is not fair to ask that from him, but if we can get him some studs without limiting the rest of the team, why not go for it.Well I doin't want to see him win it. I'm in the "put another chip on his shoulder" crowd. Now that being said, I believe he DESERVES it. Moosekill said it well, it IS all about the positions they play. All things being equal, you HAVE to give it to the QB because of his impact to the game. Chase has had a remarkable year and has had a bunch of highlight worthy plays, while in comparison Mac's production seems much more workmanlike. BUT everyone likes the highlight plays and for that reason Chase will likely win it, and that's OK with me.
The only thing I regret is that it will encourage all the "just get a true #1 WR and it. will solve all our problems" crowd. Having a great WR would be nice, but if you have bothered to watch the last TWENTY years of Patriots football, you will have noticed that its NOT a necessity, its a luxury. It is certainly not a position I would want the Pats to use a high draft choice on, or spend what limited cap space we have on. But my take on WR's has been consistent for a lot of years and if I can pat myself on the back a bit, that take has PROVEN to be the right one.

That's really unrelated to roty. Jones has been excellent. If the award were just among rookie QBs he's a shoe in. But Chase has done stuff that NOBODY has done since Randy Moss.This is a good question. If you had the 1st pick in the 1st round, would you pick the QB Jones and a WR later, or would you pick the WR Chase and the QB later? Would you rather have Mac Jones and Elijah Moore OR Ja'Marr Chase and Davis Mills?
@FCB02062 and @rochrist think there should be an investigation if you prefer Jones and Moore.
Not on the Patriots you can't. See several vet greats who came here and were complete busts.seriously?
as a WR you can win basically with your athelticism and route running only...
Bengals won their division.And BB whispers into Mac's ear as the playoffs begin.."you're a rookie who took his team into the playoffs and they gave it to Chase can you believe it?"
