Do you think this would be an ideal NFL Draft haul for the Jets?
· Yahoo Sports
PFF put together an “ideal haul” for the first three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft for every team. They picked four players for the Jets who have two picks apiece in the first and second rounds and none in the third round.

New York Jets: LB Arvell Reese, WR Carnell Tate, QB Ty Simpson, G Emmanuel Pregnon
The Jets may not employ either Sauce Gardner or Quinnen Williams anymore, but at least they now own two picks in the top 16. At No. 2 overall, New York will likely pick between Reese, Bain and Bailey — and though none would be a bad pick, Reese (76.5 overall PFF grade) may make the most sense with the ability to contribute at either edge defender or linebacker. With the 16th selection, finding a complementary wideout to Garrett Wilson would be shrewd, and Tate (89.0 PFF receiving grade) would do exactly that.
Armed with two more picks inside the top 44, New York should try to land more long-term offensive pieces. If the team obtains a short-term quarterback for 2026, then Simpson (6% big-time throw rate) would either observe or ultimately take the reins. Moreover, Pregnon (86.7 overall grade) could slot in at guard if either Alijah Vera-Tucker or John Simpson leaves in March.
I think this quartet would fit the label of, “high risk, high reward.” That is especially true for Reese and Simpson. Both players play premium positions. Both possess large amounts of theoretical upside, but neither is close to being a finished product. If these two hit, they would make a major positive impact for the team that picks them. However, the risk of them busting seems very real.
I think Tate would be a very sound pick for the Jets. I don’t yet have strong feelings on Pregnon.
Ultimately I do think the Jets can pick high upside players who are more polished products than Reese and Simpson so I would go in a different direction.
