The Jets were one of the best storylines in the NFL for a sizable portion of the 2022 season, but woeful quarterback play morphed a 7-4 start into a 7-10 finish. With Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner having Rookie of The Year-type debut campaigns in the NFL and head coach Robert Saleh leading a super-stingy defense, the Jets are close to being real contenders. And no 'perfect draft scenario' for the Jets can be without some type of trade for a veteran quarterback, because it almost seems like a formality at this point, and given the state of the defense and the burgeoning group of offensive skill-position players -- most namely Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall -- it's the most sensible course of action for Gang Green. Therefore, for the sake of this article, I'm sending Derek Carr to the Jets for New York's 2023 third-round pick and a conditional 2023 second that can become a first if Carr hits on a specific playtime and production parlay in his first season with Robert Saleh's team.
