Let’s face reality, shall we? Sunday resulted in a win for much of the New York Jets fan base. With eyes firmly on April, Gang Green continued its climb up the NFL draft order.

Entering Week 17, the Jets sat fourth overall. After a humiliating loss to the New England Patriots, and some help from around the league, New York now holds the No. 3 pick.

According to Mock Draft Database’s latest consensus mock draft, the Jets are now expected to select a quarterback with their top-three selection, unlike the past two weeks.

Here is how the top 10 selections shake out in MDD’s most recent consensus mock as of Jan. 2:

Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana (64% of picks)

New York Giants: Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State (53% of picks)

New York Jets: Dante Moore, QB, Oregon (65% of picks)

Tennessee Titans: Ruben Bain, EDGE, Miami (23% of picks)

Arizona Cardinals: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah (19% of picks)

Cleveland Browns: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State (38% of picks)

Washington Commanders: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State (29% of picks)

New Orleans Saints: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame (19% of picks)

Kansas City Chiefs: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami (12% of picks)

Cincinnati Bengals: Peter Woods, DT, Clemson (29% of picks)

A five-star recruit hailing from Martin Luther King High School in Detroit, Michigan, Moore initially committed to Oregon before flipping his commitment to UCLA.

After one season in which he was unable to earn the Bruins’ starting job but ultimately made nine appearances, the East Cleveland native transferred to Oregon.

In 2024, Moore’s first season as a Duck, he sat behind Dillion Gabriel, who was ultimately selected in the third round of April’s NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns.

Throughout his first full season as a starter at the NCAA level, Moore completed 72.9% of his passing attempts for 3,280 yards and 28 touchdowns to nine interceptions, while leading Oregon to the College Football Playoffs. He also picked up 289 yards and two touchdowns across 61 rushing attempts, while coughing the ball up six times.

Despite the Ducks securing a 23-0 win over Texas Tech in the CFP quarterfinals on Thursday, Moore didn’t have his best outing. While he completed 26 of 33 passes (78.8%) for 234 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception, the Ducks’ offense struggled throughout much of the game.

Moore’s efficiency came on quick-hitting screens and controlled throws, while consistent downfield production never materialized.

When Oregon needed a play most, it didn’t come. Moore missed a wide-open post route on a crucial fourth down that could have resulted in a touchdown, then later turned the ball over with an interception on another fourth-down attempt.

Even with the Red Raiders repeatedly handing the offense favorable field position in the second half, Oregon failed to capitalize. Time and again, Moore and the Ducks came up empty in high-leverage moments, allowing opportunities to slip away.

While he has not officially declared for April’s draft, Moore is widely expected to do so before the Jan. 5 deadline.

Whether Dante Moore is the right quarterback for the New York Jets, however, is a debate that will dominate the next 110-plus days of the offseason. As it currently stands, even if the general public believes there’s a clear-cut No. 1 quarterback in the draft, some of Jets X-Factor’s analysts feel otherwise.
