Wow – if the Jets handle this well – OMG . . .

What an amazing opportunity for the Jets to transform their team.
While you can land starters later in the draft, often most of your key starters come in the first two rounds.
So, when you have four picks in the top 44, like the Jets do in 2026, two each in the first two rounds, you can go a long way to filling several your needs, and get the players at cost-controlled rookie contracts. When you pick four players in the top 44, they all should be immediate starters, or at least starters pretty darn quick.
Rounds one and two are the two most important rounds in the draft, where you usually get your filet mignon. While obviously you can land steals later in the draft, it’s the first two rounds where you generally get your prime-time players, your difference-makers.
If the Jets knock these four picks out of the park, they could find four starters and could really fill some major holes.

While you don’t want to reach for need and should to stick to your value board, the best case scenario is when need and value meet on the board. Let’s say, they don’t love the QBs in the draft and get one another way, and they go with an edge-rusher at #2 (Arvell Reese – pictured above on our latest cover), DT at #16 (Peter Woods), a cornerback at #33 (Keionte Scott or Avieon Terrell), and a linebacker at #44 (Anthony Hill). So the Jets may get four players, at 2, 16, 33, and 44, all with first-round grades within the framework of their own grading system. Often, players with first-round grades on a team’s value board slip to the first half of the second round. What an opportunity!
