Fields certainly has his skeptics, however. ESPN's Jordan Reid released a way-too-early 2026 NFL mock draft, which has the Jets selecting a quarterback to replace fields. Most notably, he has the Jets taking a quarterback at No. 4, suggesting he believes the Jets will fare worse in 2025 than they did in 2024 and completely bottom-out.

The Athletic ’s Dane Brugler pegged Edwards as a sixth/seventh round pick and wrote that he is a “dynamic screen target” in the passing game and that he “projects as a change-of-pace runner with receiving versatility.” I couldn’t find a spot for him in this initial 53, but that could change once I see him in action in OTAs and training camp.

The New York Jets, who will look to rebuild after a hugely disappointing season, have eight picks in the 2025 NFL Draft starting tonight.
