As the NFL draft approaches, the New York Jets are reportedly considering former Miami quarterback Carson Beck over Alabama's Ty Simpson, who is projected as the second-best quarterback prospect. NFL insider Tom Pelissero discussed the Jets' strategy on the 'Rich Eisen Show,' suggesting that the team might prioritize other needs with their first-round picks and target Beck later in the draft. The Jets hold the first pick of the second round (pick 33) and may need to select Beck before he is off the board. The Jets are in a rebuilding phase after a disappointing 3-14 record in the 2025 season, having recently traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Kansas City Chiefs. With Geno Smith now named as the starting quarterback, drafting Beck could provide an opportunity for development under a veteran.
