Overview
- ESPN's Rich Cimini, in reports published Thursday, predicted New York will target a quarterback in Round 4 and linked Drew Allar after a private workout at the Jets' facility.
- Drafters view Allar as a developmental passer with a 6-foot-5, 228-pound frame and a big arm, but with accuracy and mechanical issues that need coaching.
- Allar’s senior year ended in Week 6 with a broken ankle, which cut his tape short and helped push him from earlier first-round buzz into mid-round territory.
- Jets leadership has signaled they plan to add a rookie quarterback, and the team re-signed Geno Smith to start in 2026 in a sit-and-develop approach.
- Another path remains possible with an early pick such as Ty Simpson, though ESPN’s Jordan Reid expects the Jets to prioritize other positions early, keeping a mid-round QB flier in play.
