Jets Double Down on Defense in Mock Draft

0:00On March 9th, here's the latest surrounding the NFL. USA Today just dropped a mock draft for the 2026 NFL draft as Reagency kicks off this week. The New York Jets grabbed two defensive studs and round one with their top picks at number two overall and number 16. Free agency opens Tuesday, March 11th, and that could shake up the Jets plans.

Fans and analysts see this mock as a smart way to rebuild that side of the ball from the ground up. At number two, they take outside linebacker and defensive in David Bailey from Texas Tech. The guy dominated college with 14 and a half sacks and led the country in pressure rate, making him perfect for whatever front they're running.
