Jets Early Buzz Points To Two Star-Studded Prospects
- The Jets likely won’t pick a quarterback with the No. 2 pick, aiming for a defensive impact instead.

- Kiper lauds Reese as a 'complete football player' with veteran instincts and burst as a pass rusher.
- Bailey is highlighted for 14.5 sacks in 2025 and a high-pressure rate, marking him as a strong finisher.
- The report frames Reese as a potential game-changing talent that could influence Moore staying in school.
- Cimini emphasizes Reese as possibly the best option at No. 2 and notes his rising status in the class.
- The piece references that the Jets’ draft strategy is influenced by Mel Kiper Jr. and Rich Cimini's boards.
- The article notes that a transfer from Stanford, Bailey, posted strong 2025 production.
