The 2026 NFL Draft is in the history books for the New York Jets.

The Jets made plenty of noise at this year’s event, starting right at the top. Heading to New York first were three players selected in Round 1: edge David Bailey, tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr.

In the end, the Jets made eight total selections after a few trades made by general manager Darren Mougey. The draft class ended up being split right down the middle with four selections being players on offense and the other half being on defense.

With the dust settled, here is a quick look at the Jets’ final 2026 NFL Draft class:
