| Stephanie Amador / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images As we approach the big day, Nathan Jahnke of Pro Football Focus has posted a last minute mock draft that has the Jets focused on defense. 2. New York Jets: Arvell Reese, EDGE, Ohio State Reese was a unique player at Ohio State, splitting snaps nearly evenly between edge rusher and off-ball linebacker.
He recorded 34 defensive stops and 27 pressures in his final season. The Jets defense wasn’t a strength last season, but the unit has already been reworked, with six potential new starters added through free agency and trades. Reese could become the center of that defense.
16 . New York Jets: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee The Jets traded away Sauce Gardner midseason, leaving them with the second-lowest team coverage grade. Brandon Stephens was the only Jets cornerback to play more than eight games last season.
New York added Nahshon Wright in free agency after his one season as a starter with the Chicago Bears. While the Jets could target a wide receiver, it is more likely they address cornerback here and save wide receiver for another round, given the depth at the position in this class. McCoy missed the 2025 season with an ACL injury but was excellent in 2024, earning an 89.
