Jets seven-round NFL mock draft 5.0: Two trades shake things up
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The Jets' draft strategy has been heavily analyzed since their 0-7 start last season, especially after trading key players Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams to acquire more premium picks.
- At No. 2 overall, the mock draft predicts the Jets will select edge rusher Arvell Reese from Ohio State, valuing his versatility on defense despite not being a polished pass rusher.
- The Jets are expected to trade down from pick 16 to 19 to select wide receiver Jordyn Tyson from Arizona State, a top receiver with medical concerns but high potential if cleared by team doctors.
- Multiple trades are anticipated, including moving pick 33 to the Cardinals for pick 34 plus a future 2027 second-round pick, focusing on building defensive talent with selections like Peter Woods (DT), CJ Allen (LB), and Treydan Stukes (S).
- Later round picks include a developmental quarterback Taylen Green (Arkansas) in the fifth round and a kicker Will Ferrin (BYU) in the seventh round, emphasizing depth and special teams.
