The Jets are in something of a sticky wicket where the 2025 draft is concerned.
As mentioned, the No. 7 pick probably won’t be good enough for Ward or Sanders. A trade up means expending additional draft capital, and New York’s needs go beyond just the quarterback position.
It’s still early in the pre-draft process, but there are a handful of signal-callers who could work their way into consideration late in Round 1 or early in Round 2.
