Overview
- Dane Brugler’s first 2026 mock draft for The Athletic projects the Jets selecting Arizona State wideout Jordyn Tyson with the seventh overall pick.
- The projection follows a late-season climb that left New York outside the top five, with two quarterbacks coming off the board before the Jets’ slot.
- Mel Kiper Jr. characterizes the 2026 receiver class as the strongest position group, listing Tyson among prospects with top-10 potential.
- Evaluations flag Tyson’s durability as a concern, citing a significant knee injury, a collarbone injury, and a recent hamstring issue during his college career.
- Coverage notes the Jets’ substantial draft capital, with Brugler emphasizing they can trade up for a quarterback or use a bridge plan and target 2027 instead.
