Overview
- Jets GM Darren Mougey said he will ask Raiders GM John Spytek about moving up but added, “I don’t think that’s happening,” per his combine comments.
- Spytek has maintained he will listen to offers for No. 1, yet reporting and league chatter point to Las Vegas staying put to select Fernando Mendoza.
- Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza described a “fantastic” formal interview with the Raiders at the combine and is widely viewed as the presumptive top pick.
- Analysts note the Jets possess the draft capital to propose a massive haul, with scenarios even outlining six first-rounders, though Mougey indicated such a deal is unrealistic.
- Following the trade of edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II, some analysis projects the Jets could use the No. 2 pick on an edge defender rather than forcing a quarterback choice.
