With the 110th pick in the 2026 NFL draft the Jets selected Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik.
Cade Klubnik is a 22 year old, 6’ 2”, 207 pound quarterback. Last year Klubnik racked up 2943 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and six interceptions. Klubnik had a much better season in 2024 when he earned Honorable Mention All ACC honors and threw for 36 touchdowns.
Before his disappointing 2025 season Klubnik was in the conversation for first round quarterbacks in this draft. Cade Klubnik slots in as a backup quarterback whom the Jets hope to develop into a starter down the road. He has a quick release but just an average arm and he is not a particularly dynamic runner.
The Jets have the following picks left in the 2026 NFL draft: Sixth Round, Pick 199 Seventh Round, Pick 228 Seventh Round, Pick 242 What do you think? Do you approve of the trade and this pick?
