The New York Jets are deeply involved in evaluating quarterback prospects for the upcoming draft, with Ty Simpson receiving significant attention. General manager Darren Mougey and coach Aaron Glenn held private meetings with Simpson at Alabama's pro day, joining a broader scouting effort that includes visits to Carson Beck, Drew Allar, Garrett Nussmeier, and UConn's Joe Fagnano. This intensive evaluation comes as the Jets hold two first-round picks (2nd and 16th), but they are not committed to selecting a QB this year, unlike their 2021 and 2018 drafts of Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold. Mougey's approach involves assessing multiple options and managing risk, with draft analyst Jordan Reid suggesting Simpson might be too rich at No. 16, though a second-round pick could be viable.

The Jets' visibility on the pro day circuit marks a significant shift from recent years.
