2027 NFL Mock Draft: Jets positioned with 3 top-12 picks, plus each team makes at least one selection

Following Week 7 of the NFL season, the New York Jets are in possession of three picks within the top-12 overall. It could be a franchise-altering draft if they select the right quarterback.

In this thought exercise, the assumption is that Texas quarterback Arch Manning and Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons will return to school. However, there are still five quarterbacks taken in the first round.

The draft order is based on current win-loss records and strength of schedule was utilized for tiebreakers. It is also worth noting that the Browns have two first-round picks as part of prior trades involving veteran players. That's also how the Jets received their three first-round selections.
