Jets bank on 2027 QB era, stacking picks in 2026
The Jets are taking a patient, asset-heavy approach in 2026, focusing on building depth and stockpiling draft capital, with three first-round picks projected for 2027 and a likely quarterback selection then. Arch Manning is among the top 2027 prospects, and the plan has drawn praise for GM Darren Mougey’s drafting so far, signaling a shift from chasing immediate success to enabling a championship window in 2027 and beyond.
