The New York Jets are selecting at No. 2, 16, 33, and 44 inside the first two rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. With such great capital, the Jets are sure to land some big-time help for their offense and defense.
While edge rusher looks likely with the second overall pick, down the board at No. 16, 33, or 44, the Jets are likely to look at wide receiver.
And fittingly, with such a need, ESPN's Matt Miller shared a report that Arizona State WR prospect Jordyn Tyson's floor in this year's draft, following a successful workout less than a week before the draft, is the Jets' 16th overall pick.
Jets are Jordyn Tyson's floor in the NFL Draft
"I think Jordyn Tyson goes much higher than earlier expected," Miller writes. "Teams are comfortable with the INJ history. Conversation for him starts at 5, but he's off the board no later than 16."
The Jets own the 16th pick, and very well could end up taking Tyson with that selection. However, Miller's report indicates Tyson might not make it to the Jets' 16th overall selection.
Tyson caught 61 passes for 711 yards and eight touchdowns last season at Arizona State. The year before, he caught 75 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns.
He's been a great receiver, but there have been some injury worries, which, according to Miller, are seemingly not a big deal to teams.

With the Sun Devils' wide receiver garnering plenty of buzz less than a week before the draft, it seems likely that he will end up being an early first-rounder.
