Chad Reuter, a draft analyst at NFL Network, recently released an updated mock draft, and he has the New York Jets trading into the 31st-overall pick to claim Dart off the board.

Playing on a team that included center Jackson Powers-Johnson — who went to Oregon and played in last year’s Senior Bowl before being drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders — Dart threw for 4,691 yards with 67 touchdowns and only four interceptions.

The top two quarterback prospects in this year’s draft — Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders — did not work out at the Senior Bowl. While both have generated scrutiny, especially when compared to last year’s crop, this duo has been viewed as the top tier among QBs in this draft for a while now.
