Patriots Rival Reportedly Cancels Visit With Projected Top Five Pick originally appeared on NESN . Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The New England Patriots are scheduled to make their first pick of the NFL Draft at No.

31, while all of their division rivals are slated to pick before them. The New York Jets have the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, and the big question is whether they are going to take Arvell Reese or David Bailey.

They need a pass rusher, and they may have just hinted at their decision. According to SNY's Connor Hughes , the Jets canceled their Top 30 visit with Bailey. "Sources: Texas Tech pass rusher David Bailey was supposed to have a 30 visit with the Jets," Hughes wrote on X on Wednesday.

"The team decided to cancel that visit. " While canceling the visit could mean that the Jets have made the decision to pick Reese, it could also mean they have seen enough from Bailey and want to use that visit on a different player. However, canceling the visit does not seem indicative of the Jets picking Bailey, as there is no real reason the team would not want him in the facility if they plan to pick him.

The Reese versus Bailey argument comes down to potential or production. Resse has loads of potential and could end up becoming a superstar. He has a high ceiling and can play as an off-ball linebacker or off the edge.
