Overview
- NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah released his mock draft 1.0 on Jan. 26 projecting Arvell Reese to the Jets at No. 2 and Carnell Tate at No. 16.
- The Jets hold two first-rounders, including No. 16 acquired from Indianapolis in the Sauce Gardner trade.
- Jeremiah describes Reese as versatile and athletic, forecasting a full-time transition to the edge after off-ball linebacker snaps at Ohio State.
- He labels Tate a value selection relative to consensus boards that rank him among the top prospects and often mock him as high as No. 5 to the Giants.
- The projections target core needs after a poor 2025, positioning a premium pass rusher and a receiver to pair with Garrett Wilson as pillars for the rebuild.
