Jets Draft Duo for Passing Attack

On May 1st, the New York Jets just boosted their passing attack in the 2026 draft, grabbing

Oregon-Titan Kenyan Sadeek at the fast-by-okay, 16th overall pick in trading up for Indiana

wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. at the 30th spot.

These rookies face stiff competition for snaps under new offensive coordinator Frank Reich,

with vets like Garrett Wilson, Eddie Mitchell, Isaiah, Williams at receiver and Mason Taylor

plus Jeremy Ruckert at tight end, already holding down spots.

Fans are buzzing about their attitudes and work ethic, especially after both exploded in

2025 college ball.

Cooper, with 69, catches mostly from the slot and screens, Sadeek jumping to 51 receptions

with big after-ketch runs, though the Jets have a spotty track record, with high picks

living up to hype right away.

Reich's scheme loves multiple tight ends, like he ran an indie with Eric Evron and Jack

Doyle, so pictures Sadeek pairing with Taylor or even Ruckert in.

Heavy sets, while Cooper slots in for mismatches and yards after-ketch.

If they polished their routes and seized chances, these two could flip the Jets offense into

a real threat, filling gaps that have played the unit for.
