The New York Jets find themselves in a pickle to choose between Arvell Reese and David Bailey for their potential second overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Both elite NFL defensive prospects have their own pros and cons, leaving the Jets to weigh them properly before making the decision. NFL insider Brian Baldinger made it easy for the Jets as he broke down both options by going through the scouting notes.
Baldinger finds Bailey's "takeoff" the best in football as he added to the repertoire of the Texas Tech star. "If you want to be a great pass rusher, it always starts with a great first step. But he also has an array of moves, and you’re going to see it right here, he’s got speed to power.
