The beauty of this year\u2019s NFL draft for the New York Jets is the organization\u2019s limitless flexibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Owning nine total picks, including four in the top 44 and two in the top 16, Gang Green has a flurry of premium assets. It gives them the ability to maneuver the draft board in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n

Speaking<\/a> to the media in Arizona at the NFL\u2019s annual owners meetings, Jets general manager Darren Mougey made it clear that the team is keeping its options open, especially with the No. 2 pick.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are always open. We will always pick up the phone,\u201d Mougey responded when asked if the team is open to trading back from the No. 2 pick.<\/p>\n

If the Jets stick at No. 2 overall, they are widely expected<\/a> to take Ohio State edge defender Arvell Reese<\/a>, and it makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Ohio State product plays with unmatched strength and unique athleticism at 6-foot-4 and 241 pounds. Already a dominant player for the Buckeyes, Reese still has so much room to grow at the next level.<\/p>\n

However, NFL Network\u2019s Daniel Jeremiah reported that the Jets could potentially explore<\/a> a different Buckeye in that spot, wide receiver Carnell Tate, who profiles <\/a>as a perfect complement to Garrett Wilson.<\/p>\n

The Jets are wise to keep their options open at No. 2 and throughout the entirety of the draft. While a lucrative offer to trade down may seem unlikely right now, it cannot be ruled out, especially after Mougey\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The beauty of this year\u2019s NFL draft for the New York Jets is the organization\u2019s limitless flexibility.
