Trades are happening. And, as is almost always the case when that happens, the 2027 NFL Draft picture is shifting. In @ Via @TheAthletic on X

What happened: Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic projects the New York Jets to trade up for Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker in his latest 2027 NFL mock draft. The projection follows recent trades that altered future draft positioning across the league.

Why it matters: The 2-5 Jets have stockpiled future picks to target an elite signal-caller as part of their long-term rebuild. Recent roster moves positioned New York with the draft capital required to move up the board in 2027.

By the numbers: New York Jets: 2-5 record (No. 11 in AFC), coming off a 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

What to watch: The Jets look to snap a two-game skid in Week 9 while front offices evaluate draft positioning ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
