David Bailey: Perfect Jets Draft Fit

David Bailey, a six-foot-four, 251-pound edge rusher from Texas Tech, is a perfect fit for the New York Jets in the 2026 NFL Draft. Bailey led the FBS last season with 14.5 sacks and a 21.3% pressure rate, earning unanimous All-American status and helping Texas Tech win the Big Twelve Championship and reach the College Football Playoff. Bailey, who started at Stanford before transferring to Texas Tech, is ranked sixth overall by ESPNs Matt Miller and is praised for his speed and dip moves. The Jets have already added free agents Joseph Ossai and Kingsley Enagbare to their edge rusher group, but Baileys elite skills make him a valuable addition to the teams defense.
