Jets Eye Top Quarterbacks in 2026 Draft
Update: 2025-11-22
Description
The New York Jets are expected to make a significant move for a quarterback in the 2026 NFL draft, with their general manager, Darren Mougey, likely targeting a long-term franchise player. The team holds five first-round picks in 2026 and 2027, thanks to earlier trades. Two college quarterbacks, Ty Simpson from Alabama and Fernando Mendoza from Indiana, are in a fierce competition for the top spot. Mendoza, initially considered the top prospect, has been challenged by Simpson, who impressed with a late touchdown pass in a game against Penn State. Simpson, meanwhile, showcased composure and skill in Alabamas victory over LSU. Both quarterbacks could potentially be the first two players selected in the 2026 draft, with the Jets poised to secure a top-five pick and closely monitoring their performances throughout the college football season.
