While the New York Jets continue to lose games heartbreakingly, the pro-tank crowd of Gang Green’s fanbase is jumping for joy.
After falling to 2-6 with a brutal 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Jets’ draft outlook is looking prettier than ever.
Ahead of Monday Night Football, here is a look at the current 2027 draft order:
- Los Angeles Chargers (0-7, .543 SOS)
- Tennessee Titans (1-7, .477 SOS)
- Miami Dolphins (1-6, .591 SOS)
- New York Jets, via Indianapolis Colts (2-6, .476 SOS)
- Philadelphia Eagles (2-6, .484 SOS)
- New York Jets (2-6, .543 SOS)
- Houston Texans (2-5, .457 SOS)
- New Orleans Saints (2-5, .547 SOS)
- Washington Commanders (2-4-1, .469 SOS)
- New York Jets, via Dallas Cowboys (3-5, .445 SOS)
For the first time this season, all three of the Jets’ first-round picks currently sit in the top 10.
After a loss of their own, the team’s selection is at No. 6. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts, who fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars, are also 2-6 and slotted to pick at No. 4 due to their strength-of-schedule tiebreaker over Gang Green and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Dallas Cowboys, meanwhile, suffered a catastrophic overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals, dropping to 10th in the current order.
Obviously, plenty of time remains in the season, but this is highly encouraging for the Jets. No team has ever had three top-10 picks in the NFL draft. If the season ended today, the Jets would be the first team in league history to accomplish that feat.
The Colts have made it clear they are selling at the trade deadline, already trading away top veterans like Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner. More moves could follow, including running back Jonathan Taylor.
Dallas and Indy actually face off next week. On the surface, it seems beneficial for Jets fans to root for Dallas, hoping that the Colts pick could potentially enter the top three.
The race for positioning will only heat up as the season goes on, but the Jets look to be in a fantastic situation for April’s draft.
