2026 NFL Mock Draft 16-20: Second quarterback off the board takes flight in New York
A big question in this draft will be whether Ty Simpson will be the second quarterback taken in the first round and if so, how high. The Jets’ gamble in not taking Simpson No. 2 overall pays off as he does slide to them at No. 16. There are a couple of teams selecting a head of them who could shake the board by taking Simpson, but ultimately, he does end up with the Jets who will hope he has similar success as a middle-to-late first round pick as Jaxson Dart had with their crosstown rivals, the New York Giants.
