Jets Select Bailey at No. 2, Chiefs Enhance Offense with Love
As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, the New York Jets have made a significant decision with the No. 2 overall pick. Following the news that quarterback Dante Moore from Oregon is returning for another season, the Jets opted to strengthen their defense by selecting Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey. This choice comes in the wake of developments in the offseason, where the focus turns to the upcoming draft and potential player acquisitions.
Jets Select Bailey at No. 2
With a notable record of 81 quarterback pressures in 2025, David Bailey emerged as a prime candidate for the Jets. Although not as polished as previous top prospects, his capability as a pass rusher warrants his selection in the top five picks. The Jets see Bailey as an essential asset to bolster their defensive lineup.
Chiefs Enhance Offense with Jeremiyah Love
The Kansas City Chiefs are also gearing up for the draft by potentially selecting running back Jeremiyah Love from Notre Dame. Known for his explosive performance, Love achieved an elite PFF overall grade of 91.1 and averaged 4.5 yards after contact in 2025, making him a desirable addition to Kansas City’s dynamic offense led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
