What Jets could do at defensive line in the 2026 NFL Draft
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The Jets have strengthened their defensive tackle position in the offseason by acquiring T’Vondre Sweat and signing David Onyemata, reducing the urgency for immediate upgrades.
- Despite these additions, the team may still seek an athletic pass-rushing defensive lineman to fill the void left by trading Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys.
- The second round of the draft is considered an ideal opportunity for the Jets to select a defensive tackle, potentially targeting players like Peter Woods (Clemson) or Kayden McDonald (Ohio State).
- Caleb Banks from Florida is a notable prospect who might fall to Day 2 due to foot injuries, presenting another potential option for the Jets.
- The Jets could also use later rounds to add depth at defensive tackle, as they currently lack many long-term solutions at the position.
