Jets' Draft Strategy: Turning Tough Spot into Gold

The New York Jets, holding the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, are strategizing to maximize their position. With the Las Vegas Raiders likely selecting Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza, the Jets are considering trading down to acquire more draft picks. Teams like the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans are interested in Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey, which could present an opportunity for the Jets to slide back and still secure their desired player, Ohio States Arvell Reese. Draft insiders suggest that trade talks could intensify, potentially yielding significant capital for the Jets while keeping their top prospect in play.
