Jets Projected to Hold Three Top-10 2027 Picks After Week 8

This would give New York rare leverage to pursue a franchise quarterback using multiple high picks.

Overview

  • The Jets are 2-6 after Sunday’s 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and their 2025 trades of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams mean they currently project to own the Nos. 4, 5 and 10 picks in the 2027 draft.
  • Week 8 draft trackers from outlets such as Bleacher Report show the Colts’ and Cowboys’ losing records and roster sell-offs pushed those teams’ selections up into positions the Jets would control.
  • Coverage emphasizes that the current 4-5-10 projection is provisional because remaining 2026 games, NFL tiebreakers and strength-of-schedule math will change the draft order before April.
  • Because the Jets urgently need a long-term quarterback, media have identified prospects such as Oklahoma State’s Drew Mestemaker as likely targets if New York keeps at least one top-five pick.
  • If the three picks all land in the top 10 it would be the first time since 1965 a team held three top-10 selections, but converting that capital into a successful rebuild will require accurate scouting and decisive roster moves.
