Jets' Sadiq Pick: Big Bet on Athletic Tight End

0:00On April 24, the New York Jets made ways in the 2026 NFL draft, grabbing Ed rusher David Bailey at second overall, a slight curveball, over quarterback Arvel Reese. But the real heads scratcher dropped at 16th overall when they snagged Oregon tight-in Kenyans to Deek. Earlier this week, reports from SNY's Connor Hughes confirmed the pick, passing on USC-wide receiver McCoy Limon, even though the Jets desperately need. A solid number two receiver next to Garrett Wilson. Fans and analysts are buzzing because Limon put up 1,156 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns last season, way outpacing. Sadeeg's 560 yards and 8 scores. Now Mason Taylor, a second-round pick just last year, slides to back-up tight-in duty. Meanwhile, the Jets wide-out room with Wilson and Adonai Mitchell still feels thin, but they've got picks at 33rd and 44th overall in, a loaded receiver class, so they might snag talent later.
