<\/a>An edge rush addition with the second overall pick has long been seen as a logical course of action for New York. The Jets were reported over the weekend to be favoring Ohio State hybrid linebacker\/pass rusher<\/a> Arvell Reese<\/a>,\u00a0which comes as no surprise. Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post echoes<\/a> the sentiment that Reese will likely be the team\u2019s preferred target at No. 2.<\/p>\nWith respect to the 16th overall selection, there is of course much less certainty regarding how the Jets will operate. The team could go in a number of directions with several positions of need worthy of consideration, but receiver could be one to watch. According to Dunleavy, the Jets\u2019 top choice at No. 16 could be\u00a0Jordyn Tyson<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tyson is among the best WR prospects in the 2026 class, one touted more for its depth than its star power at the top of the board. The Arizona State product declared for the draft in December<\/a>, beginning the process of projecting where he will wind up in the NFL. That has been more challenging than it has with some of Tyson\u2019s peers due to his injury situation. A hamstring ailment limited him to nine games in 2025; Tyson also missed considerable time in 2023.<\/p>\n When on the field, the former Colorado transfer has been highly productive. Tyson posted 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns on 75 catches during the 2024 campaign, and he remained a key member of the Sun Devils\u2019 offense when healthy this past season. Tyson has long been viewed as a first-round lock, although he may need to wait longer than first anticipated to hear his name called on the opening night of the draft. ESPN\u2019s Matt Miller writes<\/a> Tyson\u2019s stock is \u201ctrending in the wrong direction\u201d at this time, with injury concerns being raised by NFL evaluators. After missing Arizona State\u2019s Pro Day, he is set to conduct a private workout<\/a> for teams on April 17.<\/p>\n The Jets have\u00a0Garrett Wilson<\/a>\u00a0atop their receiver depth chart, and the former first-rounder will be expected to lead the way in the passing game for 2026 and beyond. New York added\u00a0Adonai Mitchell<\/a>\u00a0as part of the\u00a0Sauce Gardner<\/a>\u00a0trade, and he has two years remaining on his rookie contract. The team invested a fourth-round pick during last year\u2019s draft in Arian Smith<\/a>; the second-year duo of general manager Darren Mougey\u00a0and head coach\u00a0Aaron Glenn\u00a0could add further at the position later this month. It will be interesting to see if Tyson finds himself on New York\u2019s radar over the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jets are the subject of considerable interest leading up to the draft.
