Jets Snag Arch Manning in 2027 Mock Draft

0:00It's April 28th. This is NFL News Today Football coverage powered by AI. The New York Jets made some noise in the 2026 NFL Draft, snagging Ed rusher David Bailey, tight-in Kenyan Cedique, and wide receiver, Omar Cooper Jr., all in the first round. Bailey could flip their past rush game, while Cedique and Cooper give solid options for whoever's throwing, likely, Geno Smith. They are not ready to compete for titles just yet, but after several tight losses in 2025, a few more wins feels possible with this. Tall and Boost? Now, Cooper Patagna from CBS Sports dropped away to early 2027 mock draft, and it spells trouble for the Jets. They land the number. One pick after a rough 2026 season. The silver lining? They grabbed quarterback Arch Manning with that top spot. Manning started slow in college, but rally Texas to a 4-1 finish, late in 2025, showing runner skills that pop. If he keeps that fire, he is a lead draft bait.

1:02Jets fans have craved a real quarterback forever, just in fields bombed out, and bringing back Smith, who flopped a 4, screened short-term fix. Manning could spark the field and wake up that hungry fan base for years to come.
