#99 overall.
'98 was the Manning-Leaf draft and the Jets did not have a first round pick.
QBs taken after the Jets first pick, 2nd round #56 overall included Charlie Batch, #60, Jonathon Quinn, #86 and Brian Greise, #91.
Let's go to Dallas.
In '03, he did pass on Byron Leftwich, Kyle Boller and Rex Grossman, all taken in the first round after the Cowboys took Terrence Newman with the #5overall pick.
The Boys did not have a first round pick in '04.
So the only QB you could make an argument that he passed on, really, is Leftwich, who went #7 overall after the "Boys took Newman.
And I don't think you could honestly make a legitimate argument that Leftwich was on the same level as a prospect as Stafford and Sanchez.
So using Parcells draft history really isn't relevent.

Um, did we hire Bill Parcells? I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so I must have missed it. I know he can opt out of Miami, so maybe he did and he's now running the show here? I need to turn on ESPN i guess...
