“But you can already feel a weird undercurrent around the 2026 season where it feels as if Jets fans are just hoping it goes OK and then the real expectations will come in 2027, when the Jets have three first-round picks and are expected to use one of them on a quarterback.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim makes highly speculative predictions about future team performance, draft picks, and fan sentiment for the 2027 season. The provided web search results discuss current or recent events (e.g., Rodgers' injury, recent draft picks, Lazard's status) but offer no evidence regarding specific expectations or plans for the 2027 season involving three first-round picks. Therefore, the claim is based on speculation and cannot be factually verified.

“That started last week with the NFL draft.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results mention 'NFL Draft' or '2026 NFL Draft' in various contexts (e.g., mentioning a prospect drafted in the 2026 draft, or referencing 'last week' in relation to a performance). However, none of the sources confirm that the general claim 'The NFL draft occurred last week' is a universally reported fact or are consistent in their timeline. The evidence is too fragmented to corroborate the timing of the event.
