Trying to skip QB drafts because of what the next one is dangerously though. Things change a lot. I’d hope the Jets are smart enough to take a QB they see available without trying to predict what happens a year and a half later. Having the added flexibility in 2027 is great though.
Agreed…not saying skip the draft because we hope 2027 is going to be better, rather what I’m saying is to not be pressured into having to take a QB high if there really aren’t any QBs worth it at those spots…would prefer to use the top pick on a blue chip player in a premium position if available (and by premium, I mean WR, Edge, or CB since we already have two young tackles who look good), and then use the second first round pick on a mid-round QB if warranted. If there still isn’t a QB worth a mid round pick, then I’d pass altogether…2nd round QBs hardly ever make it (I posted a review of all 2025 starters and 26 of them were first rounders), and NEVER make it in case of the Jets. I’d just keep adding to the team and find some journeyman guy like a Brissett or someone like that to hold the fort for the year. I just don’t want to waste a high pick on a QB simply because we need one and back ourselves into a corner where we have to pass on a potentially better 2027 QB class. But yeah, I get that it’s early and I get that the “wait until next draft” doesn’t always pan out…exactly like all the talk before this season about how this class of QBs was going to be so great and now I just keep hearing how there’s no clear cut great QB, it’s meh, etc. You never know
