Jets' Draft Move: Intel or Smoke?

0:00On April 29, in the 2026 NFL Drafts first round, the New York Jets traded from pick 33 up to 30 with the San Francisco. 49ers to grab wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. jumping right in front of the Buffalo Bills at 31. The Bills had already traded back twice then night, starting from 26, then to 28, passing on Cooper both times even though top. Receivers were scarce in this class. A longtime Jets reporter says the team had solid intel that Buffalo was eyeing Cooper, and that's why they moved up, moments later, the Bills traded. Down again, fans and analysts are buzzing about this supposed snipe job, with some buying the story since it lines up neatly on the surface, but others see holes. Because the Bills let Cooper slide past their earlier spots. Truth is, if Buffalo had a first round grade on him, they likely grab him at 26 or 28. Not haggle over laypicks, leaves the hole. Intel tail feeling more like draft a smoke than fire, as the Bills keep maneuvering for value.
