Jets 2026 NFL draft target: Scouting report for S Cole Wisniewski

Texas Tech safety Cole Wisniewski could be a player to watch for the New York Jets ahead of the 2026 NFL draft.

As things stand, the Jets hold nine picks in the draft, including two first-rounders (No. 2 and No. 16), and two second-rounders (No. 33 and No. 44).

If things hold there, general manager Darren Mougey and the Jets front office could have plenty of options to consider when turning in their selection cards.

During the run up to the draft, which starts April 23, Jets Wire will compile information on prospects Buffalo could have interest in. Specifically, what scouting reports and draft profiles say about their game.
