0:00On April 24th, the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is done and the New York Jets made some bold moves. They grab Ed rusher David Bailey at number 2 overall, then added Titan Kenyon Sedeek at number 16. Later, they traded picks number 33 and number 179 to the San Francisco 49ers for the number 30 spot, snagging wide. Receiver Omar Cooper Jr. Tonight rounds 2 and 3 kickoff at 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The Jets only hold one pick right now, number 44 in the second round after that trade. Fans are buzzing about the Jets trading down from there, especially to land a third rounder since they don't have one yet. It's a smart play that could rack a more talent without reaching too far. The team still needs help at safety in cornerback, and they might eye linebacker, defensive line, or offensive line too. Quarterbacks on the list, but with top guys like Fernando Mendoza and Tai Simpson gone early, it's unlikely they grab one at number 44.
1:00We'll find out soon which way the Jets swing as the draft heats up tonight, stay locked in for those surprises. You've been listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage.
