Jets Snag Bailey for Pass Rush

0:00It's April 24th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. The New York Jets just snag Texas Tech-Ed Drusher David Bailey with the number two overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. This 22-year-old stands six foot four, weighs 251 pounds, and clocks of 4.5040 yard dash. He's the top-pass Russia coming out of college right now. Last season, Bailey dominated with 52 tackles, 14.5 sacks, and 20.5 tackles for loss. That earned him first team all-American honors and big 12 defensive linemen of the year. Fans and analysts are buzzing because he slides right into the Jets lineup on passing downs as their best edge guy yet. His speed and burst change how they attack quarterbacks immediately. He's still sharpening his run defense, so it might take time to become a full three-down player. Bailey had buzzed about picking between him and Arvel Reese at number two.
