After trading away assets last season, the Jets now hold the 7th, 10th and 12th overall selections.

Report Gives New York Jets & Arizona Cardinals Dismal Update on Getting Franchise QB in 2027 Draft

A new report dampens hopes for the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals as they hunt a franchise quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft. Both clubs sit 2-5 after seven weeks, with veteran Geno Smith and Jacoby Brissett likely on their way out. Although the 2027 QB class was projected as talent‑rich—featuring Arch Manning, Dante Moore, CJ Carr, Darian Mensah and Trinidad Chambliss—scouts now flag serious flaws, even praising a former walk‑on, Drew Mestemaker, as a top prospect.

Would any of these rookies have helped Rams this season?

The Rams’ first‑round quarterback, Ty Simpson, hasn’t taken a snap this season, prompting speculation about whether a different pick would have helped Los Angeles now. The article compares missed targets like rookie WR Carnell Tate (Titans) and other first‑round receivers—Makai Lemon (Eagles), Omar Cooper Jr. (Jets), and KC Concepcion (Browns), who boasts 30 catches for 315 yards and ranks third in Rookie‑of‑the‑Year odds. It also notes the Rams’ solid O‑line performance, which ranks near the league’s best in pass‑ and run‑block metrics, and touches on alternative positions such as tight end Kenyon Sadiq and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez.
