Jets Draft Bailey, Create Nightmare D-Line

The New York Jets selected David Bailey, a proven edge rusher from Texas Tech, with the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite passing on high-profile prospects like Arvell Reese, the Jets bet on Baileys consistent pass-rushing ability. Bailey, a top-tier talent, transferred to Texas Tech last offseason and is now paired with Will McDonald and TVondre Sweat on the Jets D-line, creating a formidable speed rusher duo. The draft expert gives the pick a B plus, highlighting Baileys potential for double-digit sacks, although Reese might have been a bolder rebuild move. The Jets aim for a multi-year grind, with Baileys consistent performance expected to make a significant impact.
