PFF Mock Envisions Jets Trading With Giants for No. 1 Pick to Draft Fernando Mendoza

The projection spotlights the cost of a franchise‑quarterback bid versus the Jets’ broader roster rebuild.

Overview

  • PFF’s Max Chadwick proposes New York sending picks No. 5 and 37 plus 2027 first‑ and second‑rounders to obtain No. 1.
  • The move targets Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman winner with 33 touchdown passes and strong PFF grades.
  • The Jets’ 3‑11 season and revolving quarterbacks have intensified calls to find a long‑term answer under center.
  • Opinion is split, with ESPN’s Ben Solak urging an aggressive trade‑up and Badlands’ Connor Rogers cautioning against spending the war chest.
  • The mock presumes the Giants trust rookie Jaxson Dart, trade down, and select WR Carnell Tate at No. 5, with draft order still unsettled.
