    Three “Outside the box” Options for Jets With Second Pick

    With the internet officially in “pump out a million mocks a day” mode, it seems a pair of players consistently land with the Jets.  We scrolled though about a dozen mock drafts from prominent outlets and each and every time, the Jets spent the second pick on Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese or Miami defensive lineman Rueben Bain.  Both would fill an immediate need for Gang Green, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few other options that shouldn’t be ruled out. S Caleb Downs, Ohio State:  The Jets have two noteworthy problems on defense that must be addressed.  The first problem is that they can’t stop the run.  Of greater importance in today’s game, they also can’t stop the pass.  Not the ideal situation.  So how many players in this class can legitimately do both at a consistently high level?  By our estimates, there is one.  Caleb Downs. Rarely get as pumped about a safety prospect as I am about Caleb Downs. Should be one of the top defenders in the country and a lock to go in the first round. pic.twitter.com/KoyUL2ypOu — Glenn Naughton (@JetsPicks) June 15, 2025 The OSU safety may have been the best defensive player in the country, but because that designation is usually reserved for the nation’s sack or interception leader, some have slept on Downs’ ability because he’s used in such a variety of roles that he’s not able to dominate in just one area. But turn on the film and you’ll see an absolute monster coming downhill against the run and a defensive back in coverage who is quick to read the quarterback and make plays in coverage as he logged twelve passes defended and six interceptions over the course of his career.  Always relying on having a play-making safety on the back end, Aaron Glenn may call on Darren Mougey to grab the best one in the country. RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame: If we were to get a look at Aaron Glenn’s post game press conference notes, would anyone be surprised if we were to see, written in capital letters at the top, “TELL THEM ABOUT DETRIOT TURNAROUND”?  The Jets couldn’t lose a game in 2025 without the head coach racing to the podium to tell everyone about how things went from abysmal to dominant in Detroit.  A big part of how the did that?  By using an early first round pick on running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Now, that wasn’t quite as early as pick 2, as Gibbs went twelfth overall, but his impact was immeasurable.  The explosive back allowed Detroit to have one of the best quick-strike units in the NFL.  With Breece Hall’s contract status up in the air, Love shouldn’t be ruled out.  In fact, the Jets would probably prefer trading down just a bit, but staying in range to add the best back in the country. WR Carnell Tate, Ohio State: The Jets need to add some help at wide receiver to compliment Garrett Wilson and his fellow OSU alumni could provide just that.  The 6′ 2” 195 Tate is viewed by many as the top receiver in the class.  Coming off of a monster year in which he averaged over 17 yards per catch and nine touchdowns.  Tate does an outstanding job of tracking the football and beating press coverage.  His movement skill allow him to create separation but when passes are contested, he can win in tight coverage as well.  There aren’t many folks mocking him to the Jets at 2, but it would be hard to blame them if they went that route.

    Aaron Glenn Goes big on Experience With Coaching Staff v2.0

    Aaron Glenn has now completed re-building his offensive coaching staff and it’s a clear pivot from his first effort.  Relying heavily on a young, unproven and inexperienced group, Glenn has blown it up after just one year and is now leaning heavily on proven, experienced coaches in its most important spots. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/70003812/download.mp3 Bill Musgrave has been named as the team’s quarterbacks coach following the departure of running back turned QB coach Charles London.  While London brought a history of no success to the role, Musgrave has worked with the likes of Matt Ryan, Derek Carr, Michael Vick and Nick Foles.  He becomes the latest key coach with tons of experience that Glenn has added. Musgrave will work under offensive coordinator Frank Reich, who has had plenty of success as a coordinator as he produced two top ten offenses (2015, 2017) to go along with his six seasons as a head coach with the Colts and Panthers.  This is in addition to the hiring of tight ends coach Alfredo Roberts. So now the Jets offense goes from a rookie offensive coordinator in Tanner Engstrand, an out-of-place QB coach in Charles London and a rookie tight ends coach who lasted one season, to three established veterans who have had success at multiple stops in multiple roles.  This year’s staff compared to last year’s is night and day. Then of course there’s the addition of Karl Dunbar on the defensive side of the ball where he’ll coach the lineman.  Dunbar is no stranger to Jets fans after working under Rex Ryan while the team developed the likes of Mo Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson and Damon “Snacks” Harrison.     The post Aaron Glenn Goes big on Experience With Coaching Staff v2.0 appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

    Report: Jets Snubbed by two “big name” Def Coordinators; a Look at Senior Bowl QBs

    As the Jets defensive coordinator search continues, Connor Hughes of SNY had an interesting tidbit on his Jets Final Drive podcast with Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.  According to Hughes, two “big name” candidates have told the Jets that they have no interest in interviewing to work for the Jets at this time.  Rosenblatt would add that his understanding is that it’s “more than two”. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/69540952/download.mp3 But while the search may not be going as well as hoped, the pair claims that well-known coordinator Wink Martindale has emerged as the current favorite to land the job.  Martindale coached in the NFL from 2004-20023, spending seven of those seasons as a defensive coordinator for the Broncos, Ravens, and Giants.  He has spent the past twos seasons in the college ranks for Michigan. As far as the offensive side of the football, particularly at quarterback, the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL is just around the corner, and there will be six QB’s on hand. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU: Viewed as a lock to go in round 1 this year, Nussmeier had a disastrous year that how has him pegged as a mid-round pick.  Some speculate he was playing with an injury in 2025, so this will be a chance for the signal caller to raise his stock once again in a weak quarterback class. Taylen Green, Arkansas: The 6′ 6” Green has elite athletic traits but fell flat for much of 2025.  After starting off hot with ten touchdown passes in his first two games, Green would throw just nine more over the course of the remainder of the season.  Mobile will be a chance for Green to work with a more talented group of receivers but will have to show improved accuracy if he hopes to impress scouts. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor: Robertson is an aggressive downfield thrower who shows elite ball placement deep down the field and likes to find man coverage and air it out when opponents blitz.  He’s also more than willing to hang in the pocket do deliver a deep shot but will offer less than any other QB in mobile as a runner. Love the poise/awareness we see from @BUFootball QB Sawyer Robertson. Looks like a sure sack before he pulls away, finds RB Caden Knighten over the middle and pulls trigger for big gain instead of sack or throw away. Big opportunity to boost his stock at the @seniorbowl. pic.twitter.com/Duovst0cZk — Glenn Naughton (@JetsPicks) January 22, 2026 Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt: An underdog who always seems to find a way to pull out a win or keep Vandy competitive.  There are serious concerns regarding his height as some suggest he’ll check in at 5′ 9” in Indy.  This would be a major blow for a QB who likely irked some teams with his social media meltdown after not winning the Heisman. Luke Altmyer, Illinois: A guy who does a lot of things well but nothing exceptional.  Good arm strength and athleticism for Altmyer who logged 44 TD’s to just 11 INT’s over his final two college seasons.  A ‘steady Eddie” type who could be a day 3 pick and potential long-term backup. Cole Payton, NDSU: If the New Orleans Saints feel it’s time to move on from Taysom Hill, Payton could be the perfect replacement.  His speed and athleticism is beyond impressive and we expect him to run the fastest 40 among QB’s in Indy.  This isn’t to say he can’t wow you with an eye popping throw from time to time, but no matter the plan for Payton, he’s likely a multi-year project.     The post Report: Jets Snubbed by two “big name” Def Coordinators; a Look at Senior Bowl QBs appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

    ESPN Exec has Three Very bad Ideas for Jets to add QB

    Just when you think the worst ideas in regards to how to fix the Jets QB situation comes from “randos” on x, along comes ESPN and outdoes all of them. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/69525921/download.mp3 From the worldwide leader in sports, an nfl executive said the Jets would have available to them, Geno Smith, Tua Tagovaiola or Kyler Murray.  And no, we’re not joking. Directly from ESPN.com: This notion isn’t exactly bold — all three quarterbacks appear to not be in the long-term plans of their current franchises. But they are each former Pro Bowlers and several teams have a glaring need at the position each year. “Do the Jets get one of those three — that’s really the question I have,” an AFC executive said. “They could go young and load up for the 2027 draft of quarterbacks, but the head coach [Aaron Glenn] probably needs to win, so he might need more of a reliable option.” Miami and Arizona are saddled with large guarantees on deals with Tagovailoa and Murray, respectively. Murray would make more sense to New York, given Tagovailoa’s ties to the AFC East, but not everyone is convinced Arizona owner Michael Bidwill would pay a significant portion of Murray’s $37 million in guarantees for him to not play in Arizona. Smith’s contract is more manageable, with $18.5 million already guaranteed for 2026 (another $8 million becomes fully guaranteed on the third day of the new league year). The 35-year-old spent his first four seasons with the Jets, throwing 28 touchdowns and 36 interceptions before moving on. The Jets will need to make significant plans for a veteran passer regardless. Let’s look at each one realistically. Geno Smith: Say what you will about Woody Johnson, but even this move is beneath him.  The owner is going to try to sell the fan base on a new quarterback as he raises ticket prices yet again.  There is no way he’s going to sign off on bringing in a former malcontent as his production dips to unacceptable levels after enjoying a few good seasons. Tua Tagovailoa: Tua’s extensive and concerning concussion history should make him an automatic “NO” for the Jets.  Especially if the plan is to draft a quarterback who won’t be rushed into action. Kyler Murray: An undesirable option who would be the  “best” of the three.  You can at least say Murray is young(ish), has had some success and beat you with his arm and legs.  There would of course be questions about his work ethic, but the Jets would have to dismiss that and say it has been overblown or he outgrew his laid back approach.

    Dante Moore Draft Decision Leaves Jets in QB Bind

    Oregon quarterback Dante Moore has decided to return to college next season and leaves the Jets in a very familiar and equally frustrating position.  They don’t have a QB now, and they’re unlikely to land one who can be the guy later on. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/69463175/download.mp3 Many had hoped Moore would declare for the NFL draft and either give the Jets a quarterback of the future, or at the very least, an invaluable trade chip for any team willing to move up and take him with the second overall pick.  Instead, Moore goes back to being a duck, and the Jets go back to QB purgatory. Breaking: Oregon QB Dante Moore announced on @SportsCenter that he’s returning to Oregon next season. Moore was projected as a top draft pick in the upcoming 2026 NFL draft. pic.twitter.com/XNOeX3yAKS — ESPN (@espn) January 14, 2026 No Dante Moore means hoping to strike gold later on in the draft, and searching for their 2026 signal caller by way of a free agent addition, trade or what would likely be a round two or three pick.  That’s not to say other team’s haven’t hit on picks outside of round 1, or that the Jets can’t take one at the back of the round via trade as the Giants did with Jaxson Dart. But for those fans hoping Moore would throw his hat in the ring, they were forced to go from believing Moore would be the guy, to finding a way to cope, suggesting that all of a sudden, he wasn’t worth the second overall pick after all. What the situation does is put the Jets in a spot where they may have to put a few more quarterbacks under the microscope in ways that they wouldn’t have had to if they had a shot at Moore. When the Jets send a contingent to Mobile for the Senior Bowl this year, they may want to take an extended look at LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.  Previously viewed as a round one lock, Nussmeier faltered badly in Baton Rouge before landing on the bench late in the season.  Some suggest there may have been an injury he was dealing with, so Mobile will give him a chance at some level of redemption. Outside of Mobile, there will of course be Cade Klubnik and Drew Allar of Clemson and Penn State respectively.  Two more players who had round one hopes, but who flopped in their final college seasons.  Even if just one of the three can work their way back up draft bords, the Jes may have a decent option in April that they don’t look to have today.     The post Dante Moore Draft Decision Leaves Jets in QB Bind appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

    Zero Chance Woody Pursues Harbaugh; Talking to Jets fan Whose Viral Video Racked up Over 1,000,000 Views

    Jets fans can talk all they want about how great it would be for Gang Green to pursue former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, but it will all fall on deaf ears.  Woody Johnson looks to be 100% committed to making things work with Aaron Glenn, while Harbaugh could land in the division with the Dolphins, or a a co-tenant with the Giants. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/69346812/download.mp3 Passing on Harbaugh will give Jets fans one more reason to be frustrated with the franchise, so what better time to sit down with Jets fan Joe Nelson.  Joe’s video in which he reads his ad-libbed version of Jets history to his newborn son was a huge hit on line, racking up over a million views.

    Biggest Disappointments of Wasted Jets Season

    When you go 3-14 in one of the worst seasons your franchise has ever produced, there’s no shortage of issues that will have angered, frustrated or disappointed a huge number of fans.  Jets fans who just sat though this, and many other terrible seasons can attest. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/69346812/download.mp3 So we took the time to sit down and go over a few under-the-radar issues that got under our skin.  Not the play of Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor or Brady Cook.  Not the performance of offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand or the departed Quinnen Williams or Sauce Gardner.

    Jets Blown out by Buffalo Backups in 35-8 Loss

    The New York Jets saved the worst for last in what will go down as one of the most forgettable seasons in team history.  Gang Green got their doors blown off by the Buffalo Bills backups in a 35-8 loss. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/69301958/download.mp3 The Jets had no answer for Mitch Trubisky, Ray Davis and Ty Johnson as they ran roughshod over a Jets defense that became the first in NFL history to go a full season without a single interception.  Pair that with the team being the first since the 1970’s to lose by at least 23 points five times in a row and Aaron Glenn’s club put together one heck of a year. The good news however, is that the Giants won their game earlier in the day, meaning the Jets jump up to second in the NFL draft which means if Oregon’s Dante Moore declares, the Jets can land a quarterback without having to give up a bounty of picks to move up. Glenn put the failed season on himself after the game, saying it’s “on me” in coming up short of any and al goals the team had before the season.  The head coach said he’s looking forward to meeting with owner Woody Johnson, who he has “a lot of confidence” in, along with Darren Mougey, to right the ship. Given their current situation, you could argue that the Titanic, in its current state, is in better shape than the Jets.  They don’t have a quarterback, they don’t know if they have a coach, the running back’s future is up in the air, and only one wide receiver has proven himself to be an impact player.  And let’s not get started on the defense that couldn’t, to quote Bart Scott…stop a nose bleed. It’s going to be a long offseason, Jets fans.     The post Jets Blown out by Buffalo Backups in 35-8 Loss appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

    The Jets season might be ending, but JetNation Flight 29 is just getting started. What we know is that it’s not a great time to be a Jets fan. Our latest NY Jets Podcast episode is here, featuring Rami Lavi and Bilal Powell. Will Aaron Glenn be fired? Will he be back? Even if you know he won’t be fired, it can still be talked about. Sure, you owe him 50 million, but it needs to be discussed. Finding an identity. This reminds Bilal Powell of the Patriots last year. Is anyone safe? What is the brand? Rami says until Woody removes his ego and removes himself from the equation, they won’t win. Bilal says Woody does care about the team. What we know is that none of it is working.

    Moving up for top Pick Just got Tougher for Mougey, Jets

    Those fans hoping to see the new York Jets select Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza in the NFL draft with the first overall pick won’t be thrilled with the way things have played out in recent days.  Even after losing yesterday’s meeting with the Patriots, the Jets are unlikely to have a shot at Mendoza. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/69243781/download.mp3 With the Raiders losing their game to the New York Giants, they hop up to pick  number 1 and realistically, need a quarterback just as badly as the Jets do.  Sure, they’ve got Geno Smith, but he’s a quarterback at a point in his career where he should be replaced.  Head coach Pete Carroll’s future with the Raiders is uncertain which could mean a full reboot in Vegas with a new head coach and QB.  And what better time to do it than when you have the top pick in the draft? Some have suggested the Jets “trade up no matter what the cost”, but that assumes the QB needy Raiders are dying to swap places with the QB needy Jets and move forward without a signal caller of their own. While it is possible the Oregon QB Dante Moore could declare, the Jets will have to ask themselves if they’d be willing to hand the franchise over to yet another inexperienced college quarterback.  Given how things worked out with Mark Sanchez, Sam Darnold’s first few seasons and Zach Wilson, that could mean extending their playoff drought a few years closer to the two-decade mark. It’s never easy with the Jets, and things just got a lot harder.     The post Moving up for top Pick Just got Tougher for Mougey, Jets appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.
