Good morning Gang Green Nation! The Jets had a busy first round in the 2026 NFL draft yesterday. They took edge defender David Bailey at #2 and tight end Kenyon Sadiq at #16 before trading back into the first round and taking Omar Cooper Jr. at #30. Today is likely to be less eventful, as the Jets currently have just one pick at #44. Of course with Darren Mougey as general manager trades are always a possibility. Perhaps the Jets will pick up a third round pick along the way.
