New York Jets (#6)

Most of the time when teams trade up this high in a draft, it’s all about the quarterbacks. There is no question at all that the New York Jets need to seriously think about making a move at that spot. Ryan Fitzpatrick has run his course. Geno Smith and Bryce Petty aren’t starters. Christian Hackenberg has talent but his confidence and mechanics appear shot. They may prefer to just get the best possible prospect they can.

Adding to this is the unstable situation in Jacksonville, who pick at #4. Word is the next head coach may decide to move on from Blake Bortles, who suffered a severe regression in 2016. Getting ahead of them would then become a necessity to have the best shot at a top QB. Barring that, New York also needs an outside pass rusher to pair with Leonard Williams. That may be a major goal given they just hired Clint Hurtt to coach their linebackers.
