Jets Draft: 3 Picks, 1 Blitz

0:00On April 24th, the New York Jets came out swinging in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, turning their two original top picks into three solid selections. General manager Darren Malgay got busy wheeling and dealing, grabbing a pass rusher at second overall, a tight end at number 16, and then trading. Back up to number 30 for a wide receiver. They snag David Bailey early to bolster that defensive front, followed by Kenyan Sadiq to give their passing game a reliable target. That trade with the San Francisco 49ers for Omar Cooper Jr. at the end, rounded out a strong haul without burning too many future assets. Fans are buzzing about this aggressive start, especially since the Jets still hold three first round picks heading into the 2027 draft. It's a clear sign they're building fast around their young core, aiming to compete sooner than later. More action awaits with picks still on the board, in round two at number 44, two in round four at numbers 103 and 100.
