Veteran Geno Smith joined New York<\/a> this offseason. Despite being named starter for the 2026 season, Smith is not a long-term option. Could that be found by the Jets at the upcoming 2026 NFL draft?<\/p>\n Per Jeremiah, don’t count on it.<\/p>\n In terms of using a top selection at the draft on a quarterback? Jeremiah’s intel makes him believe the Jets will not have that idea in mind heading into the 2026 draft:<\/p>\n The reason for the Jets potentially thinking this comes down to two things.<\/p>\n First, the team must not like the options available in the 2026 draft.<\/p>\n Typically each draft has two or three quarterback cited as “first-round talents” each offseason. In 2026, there is only Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza in this categoy and he will be selected first overall by the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n On top of that, the 2027 NFL draft is widely considered to be a better class for quarterbacks already. Evidently, the Jets appear to agree with that logic too.<\/p>\n Jets Wire<\/a> will continue to provide updates throughout the 2026 offseason.<\/p>\n
