The New York Jets just canceled their top 30 visit with Texas Tech Standout David Bailey, who's been pegged as their likely number 2 overall. Draft Pick. Right before the draft, this move sparked all kinds of rumors about red flags or a shift in plans. Fans and analysts jump straight to theories, wondering if it meant Bailey was off the board or if something shady came up in their checks. But the Jets for an office thought coming, knowing how draft season fuels the speculation machine. Turns out, these top 30 visits aren't one size fits all. General manager Darren Moogie broke it down in a media session, saying each one's tailored some for medicals, others for team intros, or even strategic, plays. In Bailey's situation, the Jets had already put in the work with meetings at the NFL Combine, his pro day, and a private dinner. No need for another formal sit down when they feel solid on the intel.
