Jets Predicted to Pull off Jaw-Dropping QB Addition
The New York Jets have a chance to stun the NFL world during the 2025 NFL draft.
NFL Media’s Chad Reuter predicted that the green and white would do exactly that in the first round by selecting Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart with the No. 7 overall pick.
“Justin Fields could join Sam Bradford (Philadelphia, 2016), Mike Glennon (Chicago, 2017), Andy Dalton (Chicago, 2021), Mitch Trubisky (Pittsburgh, 2022) and Kirk Cousins (Atlanta, 2024) as veteran quarterbacks signed to be QB1 until the team selected a passer in the first round. (All but Trubisky were overshadowed by top-11 picks.) In this simulation, the Jets appreciate Dart’s physical traits and work ethic, hoping that he or Fields will step up in a leadership role during 2025 and end the league’s longest playoff drought,” Reuter wrote.
There Appears to Be Legitimate Buzz Between Dart and Jets Ahead of Draft
In Todd McShay’s 2.0 mock draft for The Ringer, he predicted that Dart would go at pick No. 19 overall after a trade between the New York Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
However, on social media, he provided an extra piece of information to stew on.
“I think it’s worth mentioning that QB Jaxson Dart could’ve gone higher than the pick 19 trade I propose here. The Jets at pick No. 7 should not be ignored. Just don’t be surprised if that builds some steam in the coming weeks…,” McShay said.
