The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern, and all eyes are on the New York Jets with their second and 16th overall picks. They also hold four selections in the first two rounds, giving them real flexibility to make moves on Draft Night. Fans mostly want the Jets to trade down from those high spots. They snag an extra third rounder since they do not have one right now. Names buzzing for the Jets include edge rushers, Arvel Reese and David Bailey if they stay at number two, or wide receivers, Mackay Lemon, Jordan Tyson, and Omar Cooper around picks 16. Whatever direction they choose, this draft could reshape their roster big time, so stay locked in as the picks start dropping.
