Cooper's draft stock is a bit up in the air. Most consider him as a first-round selection, but could New York try to roll the dice in that regard?
The Jets have three picks in the first 33 selections at the 2026 draft at Nos. 2, 16, and 33. Cooper's stock appears to be somewhere between those 16 and 33 selections that Gang Green currently holds.
Could that mean the Jets would want to trade back up from No. 33 to secure Cooper in the back of the first round? What about waiting for a drop? Or the option of just securing Cooper at No. 16? All those appear to be on the table since Cooper has visited One Jets Drive.
Cooper's dynamic ability helped Indiana win the National Championship last season, and he could help Garrett Wilson at wideout on the Jets offense moving forward. In 16 games played last year, Cooper had 69 catches, 937 yards and 13 touchdowns.
