What happened: Mike Silver questioned whether any franchise in recent years has combined more early draft selections with less on-field success as the New York Jets project to hold two top-10 picks in the 2027 draft. The assessment follows Sunday's 28-25 regular-season defeat, which dropped the club to the No. 11 seed in the conference.

Why it matters: Controlling both their own 2027 first-round selection and an acquired first-round pick gives the Jets another pair of early draft assets after prior high selections failed to produce a winning roster. Sitting outside the playoff picture, the front office is evaluating its trade-deadline approach between adding future draft capital and retaining current starters.

What to watch: New York's front office faces upcoming NFL trade deadline decisions as Week 8 play begins.
