Jets Steal Show, Grab 3 First-Rounders in NFL Draft

0:00On April 24th, night one of the 2026 NFL Draft wrapped up with the New York Jets stealing the show, snagging three first-round players. They grabbed Ed rusher David Bailey from Texas Tech at the second overall pick, tied in Cain Cedique from Oregon at 16 and wide receiver. Omar Cuber Jr. from Indiana at 30. The Jets got crafty with trades to make it happen. They picked up that 16 spot from the Colts in exchange for Sauce Gardener plus a future first-rounder. Later, they dealt a fifth-round pick to slide back into the round at 30, right after moving out earlier. Experts are buzzing with mostly high praise across the board. Mark Skolfield from SB Nation gave Bailey a B for his explosiveness, an A for Cedique's mismatched potential, and another A for Cooper as the perfect. Compliment to Garrett Wilson. Chad Werder hit them with an A- overall, loving Bailey's speed and Cooper's proble upside. Even Mel Kuiper Jr. and the athletic crew nodded approval,

A few light bomb Gardener wondered about Arville Reese over Bailey for long-term value, and CBS gave a B noting it's their second tie-dand in two years. These early grades might shift in a couple years, but the Jets just loaded up their offense and defense with immediate impact guys setting the stage for a serious turnaround.
