Jets' Bright Future After Star Trades

0:00On April 7th, the New York Jets are building toward a bright future after GM Darren Moogie traded away stars like cornerback sauce gardener to the man. Colts and defensive lineman Quentin Williams to the Cowboys during the 2025 season. Those moves stocked up massive draft capital, putting the team in its strongest spot since their AFC championship run back in 2010. Heading into the draft in Cleveland in a few weeks, the Jets hold two first round picks, two seconds, two thirds, two fourths, and a fifth. Looking ahead to 2027, they already lock in three first rounders, including extras from Indy and Dallas tied to those trades. Fans might miss the star power now, but the impact shows in their young core ready to shine. Wide-out Garrett Wilson at age 25 has three straight 1000 yard seasons and 18 career touchdowns. Running back Breeze Hall just crushed it with 1056 rushing yards, four scores, plus 350 receiving yards, and another. Touchdown. The right side of the offensive line stays solid for three more years, with rookie standout right tackle Armand Membu, and tied in Mason Taylor.

1:09Seems primed for a breakout. Moogie even traded late picks to bring back quarterback Geno Smith, who started his career in New York, setting them up for tie games in 20. 26, if he cuts down turnovers. Bird is buzzing about a potential blockbuster trade for Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., the 23-year-old who torched it as a rookie with 1,282 yards in 10 touchdowns. Shipping out their 16th pick in 2026, a fifth, and a 2027 second could land him plus a third rounder back, giving. Wilson a real weapon, and speeding up the rebuild.
