New York Jets - The New York Jets need all the help they could get after their dismal 4-12 finish in 2014. Being that it's safe to say that Geno Smith isn't going to cut it as a starting quarterback and Michael Vick's best days are behind him, Jets owner Woody Johnson might want to roll the dice on Jameis Winston via the NFL Draft. But buyer beware...one more incident off the field and Winston will be chewed up and spit out by New York City media in what would become an instant circus. (Photo: Gary Gershoff/Getty Images for Cantor Fitzgerald)

St. Louis Rams - The St. Louis Rams actually showed some flashes of promise in 2014. Why not draft Jameis Winston and have him compete with Austin Davis for the Rams' starting quarterback gig? Hey, competition is supposed to breed excellence, right? Something to consider. (Photo: Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

Houston Texans -  J.J. Watt has the defense covered. Jameis Winston could represent the shot in the arm needed offensively for the 9-7 Houston Texans to take the next step and make the playoffs.  (Photo: Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

Arizona Cardinals - Here's an idea — the Arizona Cardinals tap Jameis Winston in the 2015 NFL Draft and allow him to sit and learn from veteran quarterback Carson Palmer. If the capable but injury-prone Palmer goes down, Winston comes in with a solid supporting staff and a still very good Larry Fitzgerald as a receiving target. Not a bad scenario.(Photo: Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

Buffalo Bills - The Buffalo Bills touted one of the NFL's stingiest defenses with Mario Williams this past season, but offensively just didn't cut it. Giving the keys to Jameis Winston could represent the difference in a 9-7 team that failed to make the post-season cut. (Photo: Joel Auerbach/Getty Images)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Ranking 25th in the NFL in passing, the 2-14 Tampa Bay Buccaneers need a difference maker at quarterback that Josh McCown failed to be in 2014. If Lovie Smith drafts Jameis Winston, not only would he be giving Florida football fans some home cooking, but the young QB might even save his job. This risk could lead to reward. (Photo: Cliff McBride/Getty Images)

Tennesse Titans - In Zach Mettenberger, Charlie Whitehurst and Jake Locker, the Tennesse Titans have three quarterbacks who combined to give the team a 22nd NFL ranking in passing this past season. If the situation arises where the Titans are on the clock and Jameis Winston is still available, the franchise has to seriously ask themselves is Winston better than all three? While it would probably be fair to give Mettenberger a little more time, Winston just might be. (Photos from left: Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images, Rob Foldy/Getty Images, Sean Gardner/Getty Images)
