The New York Jets have a need in the wide receiver room, but that doesn’t mean the franchise should use their first selection in the first round of the 2026 National Football League Draft on the spot.
New York has the No. 2 pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft and there isn’t a receiver in the class worth that pick. New York also has the No. 16 pick in the first round. That would be a better place to make a pick for the receiver room.

As the draft gets closer and closer, there will be plenty of prospects linked to the franchise. First and foremost, Arvell Reese has been someone out there consistently linked to the team for selection with the No. 2 pick. There has already been early speculation about guys who wouldn’t fit with New York. For example, Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox called the Jets the “worst” landing spot for Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson.
