The Jets have declared that Justin Fields <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/31/sports/jets-believe-we-can-win-with-justin-fields-as-definitive-starting-qb/">will be QB1 in 2025</a>.

But does that mean they won’t draft a quarterback?

I don’t think so, but the question to me is what level of commitment the Jets make at quarterback in this year’s draft.

Is it taking a flyer on a quarterback on Day 3, a guy who will be expected to sit on the bench for a while and maybe develop into a backup? Or do they <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/14/sports/how-jets-can-break-day-2-nfl-draft-curse-to-fill-critical-holes/">grab one on Day 2</a> who can take some time on the bench but then be a possibility in 2026?

It seemed like a far-fetched idea for much of this NFL draft lead-up.{ai:summary}<p>The Jets have announced that Justin Fields will be their starting quarterback in 2025.
