This FO/CS needs to have a Plan B developed and ready to implement just in case there's no QB they want at 3. They cannot reach for the sake of drafting a QB. Someone (Mougey) has to be thinking big picture here. I suspect Mougey has enough smarts to be able to pivot if he needs to for better options.
Sign Willis to a similar Fields type contract. Stay at 3 vs trading picks, if Mendoza falls, take him. Otherwise look to draft Simpson at #18 or Mateer in 2nd/3rd. Moore is gonna get hype status, but when you watch full games, the luster falls off some. Huge upside though.
Totally agree on Sherwood. A smaller college safety playing MLB in the NFL ??? Way too small and too light to even play LB in college, so why play him there in the pros? Joe Douglas dreamed of Sherwood & another of Douglas' college safeties draftees playing LB on the jets. What part of Moogey and Glenn's contracts require them to sign and play Joe Douglas' dream of an undersized skinny scarecrow college safety at LB in the NFL? Part of the worst defense probably ever for the NY Jets.
My opinion only, but the jets must draft a day 1 or 2 QB in 2026. The jets CANNOT go into 2026 telling their season ticket holders basically "We will suck this year (2026), but NEXT year (2027) we'll draft a QB early, and he might be ready by 2028!" Moogey HAS to give the fan base some hope that he will try to address QB in free agency AND and the draft in 2026. IMO the jets should jettison ALL 3 of their 2025 QBS--Fields, Taylor and Cook, who is not an NFL QB. They gotta sign a veteran QB , draft a QB on day 1 or 2 in 2026, and then get a 3rd stringer like Hooker or some other low budget guy as QB3.
Letting the fans determine strategy is a sure path to failure. Of course, letting Woody do it is even more certain. I look at the QB prospects in this draft and I don't see anything to get remotely excited about. The smart move would be to bring in a veteran QB, through Free Agency or even via trade, but keep them on a short term deal. Use this draft and the '26 season to establish SOME sort of solid foundation so that when the rookie QB comes in in '27, they have SOMETHING here to build on and aren't asked to be a miracle worker from day 1. But this fanbase wants to tank and fire their way to a Championship.
