The New York Jets sit at 0-5 through the first month of the season, marking the league’s worst record and lone winless team.
The Aaron Glenn era is off to a rough start, but there’s always a chance the coaching staff and front office are going to be able to turn things around once they turn over the roster and bring in guys that fit their vision and scheme.
While Justin Fields hasn’t been part of the problem for New York, it’s more likely than not that the Jets will look to replace him in next year’s draft, or at the minimum, select his successor.
Mock Draft has the Jets selecting Oregon’s Dante Moore
In a new mock draft from Sports Illustrated, Daniel Flick has the Jets selecting Oregon quarterback Dante Moore with the No. 1 overall pick.
“Aaron Glenn is the first coach in Jets history to start his tenure 0–5. While Justin Fields is far from the only issue, New York needs better quarterback play. Moore, a redshirt sophomore, is one of several contenders to finish the season as QB1,” wrote Flick.
“The 6′ 3″, 206-pound Moore is athletic, has the arm talent to make every throw and creates explosive plays both inside and outside structure. Moore, 20, has proven he’s mature beyond his years—a necessary trait to survive with the Jets.”
Bringing Moore into the fold would be a homerun selection for New York, and mark a new beginning with a potential franchise quarterback in their midst.
Fields is still under contract for one more season, so the Jets could use him as a bridge quarterback and allow the Oregon Duck to develop and learn while he picks up the NFL game.
We’ll see if New York hangs onto the first overall pick for the remainder of the season, but having their pick of the litter at quarterback would be an exciting prospect.
