0:00On April 3rd, the NFL Draft sits just over three weeks out, and the Jets have already linked up with more than 30 prospects through pro days. Visits, combines, and all-star games. They're zeroing in on high upside talents, especially with their number two overall pick-looming large. Linebacker Arville Reese, from Ohio State, tops the buzz as a 20-year-old phenom who could lock down that top spot. The Jets met him across multiple stops, seeing him shift from off-ball to edge rusher down the line. Meanwhile, quarterback Bear and Morton, from Texas Tech, got the full treatment, too, with his pinpoint accuracy and low turnover rate standing out over. His last three college seasons. Fans bled hard on Alabama's Thai Simpson after a pro day. Sit down and dinner with the Jets top brass and push for round one. Others say wait or pass. Edge rusher Zion Young from Missouri brings versatile heat against runs and passes, fitting their three-four scheme perfectly, though grades vary from.

1:01First to second round. Save these like Ohio State's Caleb Downs, arguably the class's top defender, scream value at pick 16, while South Carolina's Jalan Killgore offers. That explosive, scheme-flexible energy coaches crave. Small school runner Chris Mosley from North Carolina Central, surprised with his three-down flashes, contact balance, and pass protection polish. As the Jets stack these intel drops, expect fireworks when they hit the board. Reese might anchor the front seven early, but these meetings hint at A. Defense first blueprint with QB entry bubbling under.
