FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Through OTAs and two days of mandatory minicamp, the biggest questions with the New York Jets once again start at quarterback and extend through the offense. (If you haven’t heard, it’s been a while since the Jets have had a productive offense.)

Before minicamp wraps up Thursday — with what Aaron Glenn said will feature a scrimmage-like “move the ball” period — let’s dive into how the offense has looked in the early part of the offseason, along with other notes and observations from the first two days of minicamp:

Quarterbacks

It’s important not to overevaluate what we see this time of year, but in this practice setting it’s clear the quality of play from the starting quarterback has taken a significant leap from a year ago. That is, of course, a low bar to clear considering it was Justin Fields this time last year — and Fields, frankly, never looked the part outside of a few highlight-worthy plays here and there.

That’s not to say Geno Smith has been perfect. But he brings a level of arm strength and gumption to the position the Jets haven’t had in a while. He’s building chemistry with Adonai Mitchell, who has made plays throughout the spring — perhaps none better than a strong connection at the back of the end zone during seven-on-seven drills Tuesday.

Smith followed that with a couple of impressive throws to Garrett Wilson on Wednesday, one at the sideline and another in the middle of the field, both throws gaining 30-plus yards.

The second of those two throws got the Jets to the 4-yard line, and what happened next wasn’t ideal: short completion, Mason Taylor drop in the end zone, and either a sack (by David Onyemata) or an interception (by Andre Cisco), depending on your perspective.

But Smith has mostly looked the part in this early part of the offseason.

“I am just so impressed by Geno,” offensive coordinator Frank Reich said. “I cannot express that enough. Man, he is on point. His preparation is top notch. His football mind is elite. The way he’s communicating in the huddle, at the line of scrimmage, the way he communicates in the QB room — I’ve been around a lot of really smart and good quarterbacks. All I’m going to say is, we’re in good shape.”

The rest of the QB room has left something to be desired. Bailey Zappe has been operating as the No. 2 quarterback, and he struggled during Wednesday’s practice — he threw an interception to D’Angelo Ponds — and at this point hasn’t shown enough to keep that gig.

Rookie Cade Klubnik has missed the last few practices with a back injury. And Brady Cook is still Brady Cook.

Running backs

This isn’t really the time of the year to evaluate running backs since nobody is tackling, there’s minimal contact, and the emphasis is more on the passing game, at least in the situations they’ve been practicing in front of the media.

It is notable, however, that running back Braelon Allen is not only back and healthy after missing most of last season, but also (according to Allen) bulked up to 250 pounds from his playing weight of 238 last season.

“This is quite literally the best I’ve ever felt,” Allen said. “The biggest I’ve ever been, the strongest and fastest I’ve ever been.”

Wide receivers

At wide receiver, Mitchell has been one of the biggest stars of the spring. Smith said this about him Tuesday:

“AD is a great, young talent, and he’s a super hard worker,” Smith said. “I’m really excited about AD. I think he’s going to be a special player for a long time. He’s obviously got the talent, but what people might not see is the way that he works, the way that he studies and just the type of teammate that he is; he’s a great teammate, and I think that goes a long way.”

Wilson still looks like his old self, making acrobatic catches that few receivers can manage. First-round rookie Omar Cooper Jr. has been consistently catching his targets without any big plays to speak of, though his strength lies in after-the-catch production, and this isn’t the time of the year for that. Punt returner Isaiah Williams has been getting a lot of work in the slot and should play a role at least as a gadget player on offense.

I haven’t noticed veteran Tim Patrick as much.

Tight ends

First-round rookie Kenyon Sadiq has been out for all of OTAs and minicamp after a minor hernia procedure, though Glenn has expressed confidence he’ll be back for the start of training camp.

Glenn said in March that Taylor looks ready for a breakout season; he’ll get more work in training camp. Jeremy Ruckert has gotten a lot of work in the short areas of the field and caught most of the passes sent his way. Jelani Woods stood out at the start of OTAs but hasn’t made a significant impact since.

Offensive line

This is another position that’s difficult to evaluate since the linemen aren’t going full bore this time of the year. But the Jets feel very good about returning four out of five starters from last year, and it sounds as if left guard Dylan Parham is fitting in nicely, too.

Reich said this about the O-line: “Young and hungry group, but seasoned. They’ve played football together. … They know how to work. I mean they’re really physically talented. They know what we’re trying to do. I sense a real consistency among the group and the right mentality. There is no weak link up there, mentally or physically. It’s very high functioning, mentally processing what we’re doing and why we’re doing it and seeing it done at a fast level. I’ve been very impressed by the group.”

More notes and observations

• When Glenn was asked Tuesday for his thoughts on the Jets’ potential pursuit of Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft, he didn’t have much to say: “I’m focused on the guys we have here now. I’m sure that’s something me and (general manager Darren Mougey) will talk about.”

• Ponds picked off Zappe during seven-on-seven drills Wednesday, a play reminiscent of some he routinely made at Indiana. Ponds was in tight coverage on wide receiver Arian Smith, Zappe tried forcing the ball in, it deflected up, and Ponds grabbed it and ran it back for a touchdown. An interception was a welcome sight for a team that didn’t have any last year. “Oh man,” cornerback Nahshon Wright said. “He’s great. I got a chance to watch him a little bit in college, and when you get to see it in person, how aggressive he is and how he’s super sticky in coverage — you cannot ask for anything better.”

• Speaking of picks: Wright, who tied for second in the NFL in interceptions last year with five, said he signed with the Jets this offseason after Glenn called him and they chatted for 30 minutes early in free agency. That sold him, and now Wright is the early favorite to start opposite Brandon Stephens. “It just seemed like the right situation to come here and be able to prove myself again,” Wright said.

• The kicking competition is between veterans Jason Sanders and Cade York. Sanders appears to have the early edge based on the practices with the media present. York missed a couple of 50-yard field goals Tuesday, including one that doinked off an upright. The Jets signed Sanders after they cut Younghoe Koo … and Lenny Krieg … and Will Ferrin. The carousel keeps spinning.
