The regular season is over, and most Jets draft picks have been set. We still need to get official word on what compensation picks the Jets will get and which picks the Jets will get from trades. However, we do have a much better sense of what the Jets will be able to do, especially on Days 1 and 2. As always, this mock draft was run on the PFF Mock Draft Simulator.
The Jets are almost certainly going to take a quarterback here, unless Moore returns to school. The possibility of that happening skyrocketed on Friday with a lackluster performance against Indiana. But the one bad game aside, the upside with Moore is still clear.
He’s exceedingly young, a great athlete, and he excels in the simple things that allow quarterbacks to survive in the league. He gets rid of the ball quickly, usually avoids sacks, and excels on timing and rhythm throws in large part because of his usually excellent ball placement.
However, Moore’s arm isn’t that strong, and that can get him in trouble. And you saw on Friday what can happen when a defense takes away what’s schemed for him. That, of course, leads to the question that eventually falls on every Oregon quarterback. Is it the scheme or the quarterback?
Jets would probably be better served punting for a year with a veteran stopgap while they continue to build out a roster. But with a GM and HC on the ropes and an owner who chases headlines more than wins, this feels inevitable.
The top cornerback in this year’s NFL Draft did not play a single down of football in the 2025 season. Also incredibly young, won’t turn 21 until August, McCoy missed the season due to a torn ACL that he suffered last January.
In 2024, McCoy was elite. He had an 89.6 coverage grade, intercepted four passes, had six pass breakups, and only gave up two touchdowns. He gave up 50+ yards only three times that season, the most being 73 yards against Arkansas. But he held opponents in general to 50% completion and 386 yards.
The Jets need massive help in the secondary as they don’t have a single starting caliber cornerback on the roster. If McCoy were healthy, he’d probably be a top 10 pick. This is a shot to draft a premium player with a mid-first round pick. That is, of course, if he can stay healthy.
The Jets have a great route runner in Garrett Wilson, who wins his one-on-one matchups nearly every time. Now they need a physical receiver who can be a safety blanket and red zone target. Enter Elijah Sarratt. He stands 6 foot 2 and 213 pounds, and he plays much bigger than that.
Sarratt is an incredibly physical wide receiver who often wins with his strength. For...
