Jets' Top Brass Meets Ty Simpson

The New York Jets are intensifying their quarterback search with a significant pre-draft visit to Alabamas Ty Simpson. The teams top executives, including Aaron Glenn, Darren Mougey, offensive coordinator Frank Reich, and quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave, will be in Tuscaloosa this Thursday for dinner and a private workout on Friday. This move underscores their persistent need at the position, even after acquiring Geno Smith in the offseason. Simpson, who threw for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns last year with a 64.5% completion rate, is a potential first-round pick despite injuries that affected his performance later in the season. The Jets hold picks at number two, sixteen, thirty-three, and forty-four overall, making spots like sixteen or the early second round realistic landing spots for Simpson without reaching too far. Analysts suggest it would be a risk to draft him in the first round, but a second-round selection carries low risk if he needs time to develop. With the draft approaching in late April, this courtship could significantly impact the Jets lineup for years to come.
