New York Jets NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0
Throughout the year and leading up to the 2027 NFL Draft, we will update our New York Jets Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the New York Jets from several prominent sites and draft analysts.
The following are picks from recent NFL mock drafts for the New York Jets:
3. Dylan Stewart, EDGE, South Carolina
With all due respect to the "skill-position" talent expected to be available in the 2027 draft, Stewart is one of the blue-chip prospects that has scouts the most excited. He enters his junior campaign with "just" 11 career sacks to his credit, but his size, twitch and flexibility help him project as a 10-plus sack monster in the NFL with All-Pro upside. If the Jets want a quarterback bad enough, they have the draft picks to move up, including this and two other first-round picks.
12. Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State
Sayin will be a fascinating NFL evaluation because many of the receivers he has thrown to at Ohio State are likely even more talented than the ones he'll have in the NFL, and it can be difficult to gauge him on his own merits. He showed impressive poise and accuracy in his first season as the Buckeyes starter, however, with scouts excited about his future.
17. Trevor Lauck, OT, Iowa
There are fewer sure things in life than death, taxes and Kirk Ferentz churning out NFL-caliber offensive linemen. Lauck has got next, as they say. The prototypical 6-foot-5, 310-pounder started all 13 games at left tackle last year for an offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award as the nation's top blocking unit. He already possesses an NFL-caliber frame and game, showing good initial quickness and strong hands to snatch and sustain.
For the Win — Christian D'Andrea
2. Arch Manning, QB, Texas
If Manning plays up to his full potential in 2026, 2027 could go down as one of the biggest quarterback drafts in NFL history. If not, well, there's still a bunch of other talented players out there like...
15. Matayo Uiagalelei, EDGE, Oregon
The Jets further beef up their pass rush a player whose draft buzz subsided in 2025 (sensing a trend?) but remains a high ceiling prospect with a proven history of performance. Uiagalelei had 10.5 sacks for the Ducks in 2024.
19. Koi Perich, S, Oregon
Perich was a goblin of the highest order at Minnesota and now has the chance to thrive under brighter lights in Eugene. He's a pest in coverage and a productive tackler near the line of scrimmage.
2. Arch Manning, QB, Texas
Manning got off to a sluggish start in 2025 but finished strong. If he picks up where he left off late last fall, he'll be in the No. 1-overall-pick conversation. Again.
15. A'Mauri Washington, IDL, Oregon
Washington is a powerful, athletic defensive lineman who can collapse the pocket or blow up a run play when he fires off low and plays with leverage. He's at his best attacking gaps, where his burst, strength, and motor let him disrupt plays before they develop. When he's locked in, he looks like a true difference-maker who can overwhelm blockers with both quickness and power.
19. Charlie Becker, WR, Indiana
Becker didn't see the field consistently unitl midway through the 2025 season when an injury to Elijah Sarratt led to more playing time. And he took full advantage; he's a huge target who can win with speed and contested-catch ability -- and he can also contort his body in ways to make the impossible catch look routine.
3. Dante Moore, QB, Oregon
The Jets loaded up on skill position players in last week's draft, getting tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. in Round 1. But 2027 is a great time to draft a young quarterback. Despite being mocked as a high first-round pick in early 2026 projections, Moore decided to return to school and expand on his 20 career starts. He was one of the best passers in the country last season, finishing with 3,565 passing yards, 30 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. He's a smooth operator but must do a better job of withstanding pressure, as his accuracy tends to wane when defenses hit him early.
12. David Stone, IDL, Oklahoma
The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Stone can play any spot up front. He's difficult to displace with his excellent play power and is capable of latching and disengaging from blockers with ease. Stone wins as a pass rusher with overwhelming strength, but right now he's more of a pocket collapser than true finisher (1.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss last season). He needs to develop a true go-to move, but with further development, he could join T'Vondre Sweat and help fill the hole in the Jets' defensive front left by Quinnen Williams' departure.
17. Zabien Brown, CB, Alabama
The Jets will get the higher of the Cowboys' two picks, which falls here. We took a possible Williams replacement with the Jets' last pick, so now it's time for Sauce Gardner's. Brown is a savvy and poised corner who is a competitive technician and plays with great awareness. The 6-foot, 192-pound corner has a knack for timely plays, as both of his interceptions last season went for touchdowns. His patience in his technique at the line and in route stems stands out, as he had six pass breakups in 2025. Brown is scheme versatile, shows comfort in zone and man coverage, and is good at recognizing routes.
4. Leonard Moore, CB, Notre Dame
Scouts think the only thing that could keep Moore out of the top five is the potential for so many quarterbacks to go early. A tall, athletic cover man, Moore blankets wide receivers — he's combined for seven interceptions over his first two seasons in South Bend.
15. CJ Carr, QB, Notre Dame
The Jets are set to pick three times in next year's first round, and there's an extremely high probability they use one of those picks on a quarterback. Carr produced promising tape as a redshirt freshman. If he takes the next step in 2026, we might be talking about him this early.
19. Will Echoles, IDL, Mississippi
A smooth-moving big man at 6-3, 315, Echoles frequently made trips to the backfield last season. He is just scratching the surface of his ability.
1. Arch Manning, QB, Texas
After a turbulent start to his first full season as a starter, Manning helped guide Texas to a 4-1 finish, including three wins over ranked opponents, while flashing athleticism as a runner that adds another layer to his profile. Despite the last name and pedigree as 247Sports' No. 1 recruit in 2023, Manning needs to sustain that late-season momentum to separate from a crowded field and ultimately come off the board at the top of next year's NFL Draft.
15. David Stone, IDL, Oklahoma
Entering his third season, Stone's athleticism and versatility have quickly shown up along Brent Venables' defensive front. A former five-star out of IMG Academy, he uses cat-like quickness and the ability to displace blockers to create consistent backfield disruption.
19. Austin Siereveld, OT, Ohio State
A veteran presence along Ohio State's offensive line with 21 starts over the past two seasons at both left tackle and guard, Siereveld offers the kind of versatility and stability that's tough to find. After anchoring Julian Sayin's blindside, his run-blocking skill set likely points to a move inside at the next level.
3. Dante Moore, QB, Oregon
Moore would reunite with tight end Kenyon Sadiq in the Jets offense. He led the FBS in big-time throws (30) last season, while Sadiq recorded 30 first-down receptions. While incredibly gifted, Moore will need to develop his often erratic decision-making to warrant a top-five selection — he threw 10 interceptions last year, some stemming from nine turnover-worthy plays over his final seven outings.
15. KJ Duff, WR, Rutgers
Duff is a massive receiver listed at 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds. His ability at the catch point would complement the Jets' wide receiver duo of route-running specialist Garrett Wilson and explosive YAC threat Omar Cooper Jr. Duff led all of college football in contested catches (22) last season.
Bolden is currently the top safety in next year's class. He already has two years of high-quality play in Kirby Smart's defense and took a step forward against the run this past season, earning a 91.3 PFF run-defense grade. Bolden does everything well, and while he may not possess the same hype or versatility as Caleb Downs, the gap between the two prospects is not significant.
