The Jets have played just five games so far this season, but it is never too early to look ahead to the 2022 NFL draft — especially for a team going nowhere in a hurry.
New York is primed to once again land one of the top picks in the 2022 NFL draft. Gang Green currently sits fourth in the pecking order with a 1-4 record. While Robert Saleh’s team still has plenty of time to turn things around, odds are New York will pick in the top 10 for the seventh time in the last decade.
The Jets also have the Seahawks’ first-round pick from the Jamal Adams trade — one that could land higher than expected with Geno Smith taking over Seattle’s offense for the injured Russell Wilson — and an additional second-round selection from the Sam Darnold trade with the Panthers. In total, New York is slated to make five picks in the first two days of the 2022 draft.
Who might the Jets have their eyes on with those five picks? Let’s take a look at what Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling is thinking in its latest three-round 2022 NFL mock draft.
