Jets hold three 2027 first-rounders but latest projection targets Oregon QB Moore in 2028, signaling possible quarterback patience.

The New York Jets are sitting on three first-round picks in the 2027 NFL Draft—5, 11, and 28—and a new projection report says the third of those selections could land on Dante Moore, the Oregon quarterback who stayed in college instead of declaring this cycle.
Moore, a former five-star recruit who transferred from UCLA to Eugene after one season, was widely expected to enter the 2027 draft before announcing in January he would return for his junior year. The Jets had Moore graded as a mid-first-round talent had he come out. Now he stays at Oregon, plays another season under Dan Lanning's offense, and the Jets—if the projection holds—use pick 28 to draft him in 2028 instead.
The signal here is not the projection itself. Mock drafts two years out are parlor games. The signal is that the Jets' front office, after trading for three first-rounders in a span of eight months, is still mapping quarterback scenarios beyond this April. General manager Joe Douglas acquired the 11th pick from the Las Vegas Raiders in November for defensive end Quinnen Williams, then flipped a 2028 second-rounder to the Cleveland Browns for pick 28 in February. New York already owned 5 from their own record. That gives them the capital to take a quarterback, two foundational pieces, or package picks to move up. But the Moore projection suggests they may not use any of those picks on a quarterback this spring.
The 2027 class is considered weak at the position. The consensus top quarterback, Miami's Tyler Van Dyke, is a second-tier talent compared to recent drafts. If the Jets pass on a quarterback at 5, 11, or 28, they are either comfortable with Aaron Rodgers' backup Zach Wilson running the offense in 2028 when Rodgers turns 44, or they are already planning for Moore a year later. Moore threw for 3,200 yards and 24 touchdowns at Oregon in 2026, with a completion rate over 66% against Pac-12 defenses. His arm strength and mobility fit the Jets' offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett's scheme, which still leans on rollout concepts and deep crossers even with Rodgers under center.
The franchise reset is incomplete. Woody Johnson retained Douglas after the 2026 season but fired head coach Robert Saleh in October, replacing him with Jeff Ulbrich. Ulbrich went 6-5 to finish the year, enough to keep the job. The Jets have not won a playoff game since 2010. The three first-rounders represent the first time since 2000 they have held multiple top-30 picks in the same draft. How they deploy them determines whether this is a rebuild or a final push around Rodgers.
Moore's camp has not commented on the projection. His agent, Buddy Baker of Priority Sports, represents eight current NFL quarterbacks. The Jets' interest in Moore dates to his high school recruitment, when then-offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur attended two of Moore's games in Detroit. LaFleur is now with the Los Angeles Rams, but Douglas and Ulbrich were both in attendance at Oregon's spring game last month, sitting three rows behind Lanning.
Watch the Jets' first-round strategy in April. If they do not take a quarterback at 5 or 11, the Moore projection gains weight. Oregon's season opener is August 30 against Hawaii, a showcase game for Moore's junior tape. The Jets' 2028 first-rounder, currently projected at pick 18 based on Vegas win totals, would be in play if they want to move up for Moore next year. New York has not drafted a first-round quarterback since Sam Darnold at 3 overall in 2018. Moore would be the second in a decade.
The front office meets with agents at the combine in Indianapolis next week. Moore will not be there.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.
