Jets Plan Draft Strategy, Eye Jaxson Dart as Rodgers Replacement

The New York Jets are exploring quarterback options following the departure of Aaron Rodgers, with the team holding the No. 7 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Analysts suggest that while top prospects Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward are likely to be selected before the Jets' pick, Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss has emerged as a potential option. ESPN's Rich Cimini and NFL analyst Mel Kiper Jr. highlighted Dart's impressive performance, noting his strong arm talent and quick release. Jets' senior football adviser Rick Spielman also praised Dart, suggesting he could rise in draft rankings similar to Bo Nix last year. While the Jets may pursue a quarterback early in the draft, the possibility of acquiring Dart later remains intriguing as they look to strengthen their roster. The team’s strategy will heavily influence their immediate future at the quarterback position.
