Jets Snag Sadiq, Bailey, Cooper in First Round

0:00It's April 24th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. The New York Jets just snagged Oregon Ducks tight and canyons to Deek with a 16th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dude lit up after the call, saying it's unreal to land with the Jets, especially with family in New York. He's pumped and ready to grind for whatever the team needs. Earlier that first night, the Jets went big, grabbing Texas Tech-Ed Drusher David Bailey at number two and capping the round with Indiana-wide. Receiver Omar Cooper Jr. at number 30. Three, first rounder's already. That's how you build a squad. Jets fans are eating this up because Deek sounds all in. No hesitation about the pressure or the snake-bitten history in the meta-lands. For a franchise that scares off some prospects, this guy's vibe is pure gold. He's only the Fort Oregon Duck ever drafted by the Jets and the first in 20 years since killing Clemens back in 2006.

1:02Solid history there, even if it's sparse. With nine picks left and trades still possible over the next couple days, the Jets are just warming up. Looks like they swung for the fences right out the gate.
