The New York Jets are currently one of two teams<\/a> with multiple top-20 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft<\/a>, but many expect them to move up even further from their second spot at No. 16. A new idea has them working with the New Orleans Saints<\/a> to move up and select star receiver Jordyn Tyson at No. 8.<\/p>\n

After likely addressing their edge-rushing needs at No. 2, the Jets \u201cneed to come out of the draft with a starting wide receiver,\u201d per Zack Rosenblatt of \u2018The Athletic.’ Without an exciting option at No. 16, Rosenblatt has them moving up to No. 8<\/a> to take Tyson before either the Kansas City Chiefs or New York Giants potentially get the opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jets need to come out of this draft with a starting wide receiver,\u201d Rosenblatt wrote. \u201cThey own the 16th pick \u2014 but the way the wind is blowing, it feels increasingly unlikely one of the top two receivers (Carnell Tate or Jordyn Tyson) makes it that far. Jumping to No. 8 was an easy decision since the Jets have an extra second-rounder to spare \u2014 and this was a perfect spot to grab Tyson ahead of the Chiefs, Giants and Dolphins, who all might be targeting a wideout. Tyson feels like a perfect complement to Garrett Wilson as a big-bodied, athletic outside receiver who should step in right away as the No. 2 on the depth chart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyson was viewed by many as the No. 1 receiver of the class during the 2025 college football season, but an underwhelming, injury-riddled season knocked him down a few pegs. He was quiet for most of the pre-draft process before showing up for receiving drills at Arizona State’s Pro Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the Jets still have significant quarterback concerns, their receiving corps is also a big question mark. They ranked dead last with 2,784 receiving yards and tied the Tennessee Titans with an NFL-low 15 touchdowns in 2025.<\/p>\n
