Jets' Mougey Set to Rebuild with Draft Picks

0:00It's April 8th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, football news powered by AI. The New York Jets are rolling into the 2026 NFL Draft with serious firepower, holding the second overall pick, 16th from a trade, and 2nd round spots at 33rd and 44th. New General Manager Darren Moogie, known for his trade savvy, has this team primed for a rebuild after a rough season. Bull predictions say they'll shake things up big time in Pittsburgh. First off, expect them to snag Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at 33rd overall. Instead of rushing him in, he'll learn behind veteran Geno Smith and coordinator Frank Reich for a year. Sure, most mocks have Ohio State defensive end Arvel Reese, going 2nd to bolster the edge, but Moogie might surprise by grabbing a young, signal caller, early. Meanwhile, that 16th pick could get flipped again for 2027 first rounder. They already scored picks from trading sauce gardener and others, and experts see next

1:00year's class as deeper. If they keep it, Indiana-wide-out Omar Cooper Jr. fits perfect next to Garrett Wilson. The secondary's hurting after losing gardener and DJ Reed, turning a strength into a glaring hole. Moogie skipped outside corner signings in free agency, so look for a replacement at 44th like Indiana's DeAngelo Ponds, or San Diego States, Chris Johnson. All eyes on Moogie to wheel and deal his way to a brighter future, stacking picks and talent for the long haul. This draft could redefine the jets for years.
