Ex-Jets GM Tannenbaum Envisions ‘Dream Scenario’ with Ty Simpson Trade-Up
Former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum has outlined a bold draft strategy, proposing a trade-up to the late first round to select Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. The plan involves using two second-round picks to acquire Simpson, who would then develop behind Geno Smith for a full season.
This move would secure the Jets’ long-term quarterback future and provide crucial contract flexibility with the fifth-year option, despite some league skepticism about Simpson’s immediate readiness for a first-round selection.
